Fort Calhoun answer:


1.       What frequency do you perform source checks on portable instruments 
checking all scales against a known value, i.e. Shepherd or Hopewell 
calibrator?  Daily, Weekly, other- please elaborate.



All portable instruments are done daily or prior to use, this includes ion 
chambers, GM extenders, neutron meters, friskers, and microRem meters.



2.       How are the sources checks documented; hard paper copy or electronic 
database?



We use a function check sheet for all portables and friskers

3.       How many portable instruments do you maintain in service during 
non-outage periods, i.e. Ion Chambers, Extendable, MicroRem, etc.?



Hot side: 5 ion chambers, 1 Remball, 3 extenders with twice this many in ready 
status.

Clean side: 2 ion chambers, 2 extenders, 1 Radeye G, and 1 microRem meter with 
twice their number in ready status.



4.       Who performs the checks; dedicated instrument group, shift RP techs, 
field ops techs,  or individual using instrument?



The shift RP techs perform the function checks on back shift for the coming day.
