Personnel Contamination Events (PCE's)
HousePuke:
A couple of questions for those of you in the commercial Nuke power plant world: What counts as a PCE at your site? Do you allow workers to changes scrubs, clean their shoes or any other such actions before attempting clear the monitors? Do you count contaminations on modesties?
Just curious because it appears we are not all playing from the same sheet of music if you know what I mean.
TIA for your responses.

Modesties count as PCEs.
Workers should not be changing modesties prior to monitoring. After a PCM alarm, check with a frisker to determine contamination level and location. This is the point where it is determined if it is a PCE. >100 ccpm w/hp-210 probe (frisker) is a documented (counts towards goals) PCE.
This is all per INPO guidelines, and what most RP procedures specify.
What sheet of music is your site playing??
HousePuke:
Pretty much what you describe. I've been getting some feedback from our contractors and shared services folks that some places are "managing" their indicator to meet the goal.

I can't believe that would ever happen ;). The EXELON sites I worked all seemed to do things a little different even though all had the same procedure.

Oh what a beautiful world it would be if we all played by the same rules! Then you wouldn't end up with some ridiculously low number (that becomes the industry standard) from those plant that manage their indicator!
