Millstone currently uses AMS-4 as Continuous Air Monitoring (CMS) to monitor air activity in our Containment building (CTMT). CAMs are typically placed between the reactor cavity and the equipment hatch. Additional CAMS are mounted on our HEPA 2000 units used to support high risk S/G work activities. During fuel movement activities we periodically collect tritium and noble gas samples using a lapel air bubbler and a 1-liter Marinelli air displacement method, respectively. Millstone is looking to improve our collection processes and would like to know what other stations are doing in the following areas:
1) Tritium and noble gas detection processes during reactor cavity and spent fuel pool (SFP) work activities. a. What technology/collection technique is being used? b. How many tritium and/or noble gas instruments are used to monitor the Reactor Cavity or SFP? 2) CAM technologies used within containment. a. What technology/collection technique is being used? b. How many CAMs are in CTMT? c. How many CAMs monitor the Reactor Cavity? d. Where are your CAMs typically placed? Thank you all in advance and appreciate your help! Michael C.
