This article describes several ALARA measures and awareness programs which were implemented during the recirculation piping replacement project at the Philadelphia Electric Company's Peach Bottom Power Station Unit 3. Due to the potential for accumulating high individual and collective doses, an aggressive, project-specific radiological protection program was instituted to maintain doses as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Additionally, it was very important to ensure that the project was managed in such a manner as to keep total project exposure below the NRC-recommended guideline of 2000 person-rem for pipe replacement activities.
