(1) Containment entry requirements in regard to Radiological and Industrial safety limits are well covered by this procedure,
however specific instructions for the mechanics of entry by the operator and prerequisites such as ensuring integrity, permission required, associated alarms, door interlocks etc.
are not included in this procedure.
i f-(2) Prerequisites are inter dispersed within the body of the step by step procedure section and therefore are not clearly dio-
'
cernible to the operator as to unat precautions must be observed j
or taken prior to proceeding to the next step.
(3) The procedure steps for containment purge for reduction of
activity prior to entry instruct the operator to ensure limits
,
j specified in Step 5.5.1 are met.
Limits specified in step 5.5.1 are requirements for minimum oxygen concentrations.
'
j i
l (4) Step 5.3 instructs the operator to ensure a purge of at least four building changes are performed prior to entry but does not' define what volume of air comprises a building change nor how to measure the volume or flow.
