Frequency of Surveys During Reactor Outages

["Wes Van Pelt" <wesvanpelt@ATT.NET>]

Radsafers,



I have very little experience in operating nuclear power stations and would like to ask a question.



How often are radiation surveys done during outages? I know, of course, that "it depends on circumstances".  But I would like to get a sense of the range of frequencies for surveys of areas scheduled for and during maintenance work. Are surveys done weekly, daily, every shift, twice per shift, 4 times per shift?



Any personal experience or power station site policy on this would be appreciated.



Regards,

Wes
