[powernet] telemetry software latency

[Bradley A Krupp]

Fermi 2 is looking for feedback from peers on how much latency (time delay from 
when a dosimeter is in a dose rate field to when the dose rate and workers dose 
is displayed on the computer screen)  they are seeing in their telemetry 
systems and what you may have done to improve it.  We know there are a lot of 
issues that can affect it such as software used, network infrastructure, how 
many bases verses repeaters, computer capabilities, etc..  We currently use 
Teleview 2000, WRM2 base stations and repeaters, and DMC 2000 EDs in iPAM 
transmitters.  Any feedback you can provide is appreciated.  Thanks in advance 
for your assistance.

Re: [Powernet] Quick Benchmarking on ED's

[Bradley A Krupp via Powernet]

Fermi 2

Using a mix of DMC2000S and DMC3000.  DMC2000's are used primarily for remote 
monitoring.  DMC3000's are used for everything else.  Once we upgrade our 
telemetry software (currently using TeleView 2000 but we own but have not 
implemented GEDDS) we plan on phasing out the use of DMC2000's.  Currently own 
a few DMC3000 transmitter modules but are not using them.

[Powernet] Landauer Verifii digital dosimetry platform

[Bradley A Krupp via Powernet]

We have been asked to evaluate whether the Landauer Verifii digital dosimetry 
platform would be of any value to implement at Fermi 2.  We currently use the 
Landauer Inlight Model 2 for our DLR along with Sentinel.  Mirion DMC2000's and 
3000's are used as SRDs along with the applicable transmitter when remote 
monitoring is required.  TeleView 2000 is currently used as our remote 
monitoring software.  We are in the process of transitioning to GEDDS.  Has 
anyone evaluated implementing or implemented the Verifii platform at their 
site?  It appears to be geared more towards medical facility use.  There also 
does not appear to be any way to perform remote monitoring.  I've included a 
link to a video we were provided and the Landauer website for additional 
information.  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can be.

I wanted to see if any facilities were using emails to send Form 5s and send

Re: [Powernet] [EXTERNAL] Fixed Radiation Monitoring System calibration question

[Bradley A Krupp via Powernet]

At Fermi 2, the RP Dept has a separate group of instrument personnel that are 
fully qualified RP techs.  This affords them the ability to handle sources, 
post areas, etc. as necessary.  They are responsible for both tech spec and non 
tech spec rad monitor calibrations (GE, Gulf Atomic) throughout the plant while 
also performing functional tests on a handful of them. These include liquid and 
gas effluent and area radiation monitors.

Hello all,

I would appreciate your response to the two questions below:


  1.  Who performs the detector calibrations on your installed radiation

  1.  If RP/HP DOES NOT perform your installed RMS detector calibrations, is 
the department performing the calibrations trained/qualified to handle sources 
(or does RP escort/handle the sources for them)?

Re: [Powernet] [EXTERNAL] High Range Noble Gas Monitors

[Bradley A Krupp via Powernet]

Fermi 2 recently upgraded to using GEDDS as our telemetry software.  We have 
been able to set up AMS-4s in GEDDS.  Theses have just been the standard 
particulate units.  My question has to do with a unit set up for Noble gas.  We 
are able to configure it in GEDDS but don’t understand if there is any 
additional setup that will reference it as a noble gas monitor.  To the best of 
our knowledge, the AMS-4 has an activity readout (we use uCi/cc) and that just 
gets transferred to GEDDS in that manner.  We think the AMS-4 is indifferent as 
to whether that is alpha, beta or gamma activity.  Not sure if GEDDS would see 
that as something different.  Does anyone have any AMS-4’s set up with GEDDS 
that are Noble gas only or any insight on them?  I’ve  copied our instrument 
folks to keep them in the loop.  Thanks in advance for your help!

[Powernet] Diving Remote Monitoring

Fermi is going to be doing a significant amount of work inside our Torus in our 
upcoming Spring 2020 outage.  In the past we have used the Mirion IMUX and 
associated hardware to remotely monitor divers radiation exposure.  This 
generally works quite well but our equipment is getting dated and we don't know 
how long replacement parts will be available.  Is anyone using anything 
different?  If so, could you please provide additional details and contact 
information?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

What is the activity of the 40K? I would think you could release them by direct 
frisk. Is there any reasonable way that a fire extinguisher can become 
internally contaminated with licensed material? Typical fire extinguishers are 
under slight positive pressure even when discharged; I think that it is 
unreasonable to do anything more than direct and indirect surveys of the 
external surfaces.

You may have to revise the material release procedure to specifically exempt 
fire extinguishers to answer any concerns, which might have been expressed.

The extinguisher does not fit in our usual HPGe setup, so we have run some
