NRC Performance Indicator revision



For all of you power reactor hp's, I understand that the NRC is revising
the criteria for the "occupational radiation safety exposure control"
performance indicator (tech spec hi rad area occurrences, very hi rad
area occurrences, and unintended exposures > 100 mrems).  The
"green-white" threshold will be revised from > 5 occurrences during the
previous 12 quarters to > 2 occurrences during the previous 4 quarters;
while the white-yellow threshold is being revised from
> 11 occurrences uring the previous 12 quarters to > 5 occurrences
during the previous 4 quarters.  This will be included in "revision 0"
of the PI Manual, which is expected to be released this week.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
