Radiation protection management program at TMI-2 (Three Mile Island): Noteworthy practices and accomplishments: Final report
A successful dose reduction program must utilize disparate techniques such as sound technical understanding of contamination processes, through training in ALARA principles, management and worker commitment, and adequate tools. GPU Nuclear Corporation's cleanup program at TMI-2 represents a unique opportunity to test tools and techniques under real plant conditions not readily achieved in a laboratory. The dose reduction tools and techniques described herein have proven beneficial in the course of the accident cleanup. Each has potential for operating plant applications. This overview describes the problem that each technique was developed to address, how each tool was implemented, and how the implementation contributed to dose reduction.
