Questions from Duke Energy on Area TLD/OSL Monitoring:
1. At what frequency do you perform Area TLD/OSL monitor changeouts at your
facility? (e.g., quarterly)
1. What type of device do you use for area monitoring? Please be specific
(e.g., LiF (Cu, Mg), OSL, etc.)
1. Has the numbe
Duke has also been using the DMC3000 with neutron module for over a year now
(power entries and Dry Fuel Storage). RSCS does the neutron calibration for us.
We still use our population of DMC2000GNs, too. We do not apply any correction
factor for the GNs after calibration and get pretty decent
Duke Energy has been transitioning to DMC3000s from DMC2000s since 2015.
Currently four out of seven duke sites are using DMC3000s as their primary WB
SRD and continue to use DMC2000s (version 3 and 4) as area monitors or in their
E-Kits. We plan to get 2 out of our remaining 3 sites on DMC3000s
Duke Energy's 7 nuclear sites (Brunswick, Catawba, Crystal River (SAFESTOR),
Harris, McGuire, Oconee, and Robinson) all store their TLDs on site.

I am doing a benchmark on DMC3000 AAA batteries. If you are a user of Mirion
DMC3000 EDs, please answer the following questions:
1. What brand/type of AAA batteries do you use (e.g., Rayovac/Industrial)?
2. What is your average DMC3000 battery lifetime with average use?
3.
