RE: Is Two Too Many?

["Morgan, Ben" <ben.morgan@cplc.com>]

Greetings:

Except for casual visitors, the Harris Nuclear Plant requires a TLD and an
Electronic Dosimeter (ED) for all personnel entering the Radiation Control
Area. Casual visitors are assigned an ED and, if the need arose, would be
assigned dose using their escort's TLD.

The TLD reading is the dose of record. The ED serves as a back-up in case of
TLD problems, provides dose, dose rate, and stay time alarms, and allows the
individual to perform real time dose monitoring.

I've requested a copy of the revised criteria from ANI but, while I'm
waiting on that, does "all the time" mean when they're in an RCA or when
they're on site?

Regards,

Ben

Subject: Is Two Too Many?

Radsafers,

On May 25, 2000, American Nuclear Insurers revised its External
Dosimetry Criteria recommending that insureds place

TWO DOSIMETERS ON EVERONE LIKELY TO EXCEED 100MREM PER YEAR - ALL THE
TIME.

One dosimeter is called the Dosimeter of Legal Record (DLR) - a NAVLP
Device.  The other is called a backup dosimeter - perhaps an SRPD.

Their purpose is to establish and air tight defense in any personal
injury case that might arise our of a person's expsoure to radiation.

 My question is:  Is anyone out there already doing this?
