The St. Lucie reactor containment building equipment hatch opens directly to
the outside during refueling outages. I would appreciate information on how
PWRs monitor and quantify effluents from their equipment hatch.
Specifically:
1. What air samples are taken at the equipment hatch opening (e.g.
particulate, charcoal, noble gas, tritium)?
2. What frequency are the samples counted?
3. Is the air sample placed in a defined position, e.g. in a specific
location with respect to the hatch opening?
4. Is the equipment hatch monitoring a Chemistry or Radiation Protection
function?
5. Does the sampling protocol change depending on the containment purge
system operation?
6. Do you have a study that has determined the plant ventilation
conditions and the resultant effluent flow rates?
If you have any specific OE or have had regulatory interest in this area, feel
free to contact me directly.
Thanks is advance!!!
