"Outside FEO, this is the AO. Vent service water header one Bravo using valve

Sierra Whiskey one seven."

Response by Outside FEO:

Point-to-Point Communication Systems

A point-to-point communication system allows only two work stations to

communicate on a communication line at one time. If a point-to-point circuit is used,

the sender and receiver identification need only be established on the initial contact.

Example point-to-point telephone communications concerning a Waste Evaporator

Distillate Tank:

Radwaste Facility Equipment Operator (FEO) to Control Room Operator (CRO):

"CRO, this is the Radwaste FEO. The Waste Evaporator Distillate Tank is full.

Request to pump the Waste Evaporator Distillate Tank to Waste Holdup Tank

Alpha."

CRO to Radwaste FEO:

"Radwaste FEO, pump the Waste Evaporator Distillate Tank to Waste Holdup

Tank Alpha."

Response by Radwaste FEO:

"Pump the Waste Evaporator Distillate Tank to Waste Holdup Tank Alpha."

Acknowledgment by CRO:

"That's correct."
