ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.9 (THIS SPECIFICATION NUMBER IS NOT USED) 6.10 RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAM 6.10.1 Procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

6.11 HIGH RADIATION AREA 6.11.1 Pursuant to paragraph 20.1601(c) of 10 CFR Part 20, in lieu of the 'control device" orualarm signal' required by paragraph 20.1601(a) and (b), each high radiation area, as defined In 10 CFR Part 20, in which the Intensity of radiation Is equal to or less-than 1000 mR/h at 30 cm (12 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP). Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures (e.g., Health Physics Technician) or personnel continuously escorted by such individuals may be exempt from the RWP Issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned duties in high radiation areas with exposure rates equal to or less than 1000 mR~h, provided they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into such high radiation areas. Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following:

a. A radiation monitoring device that continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area; or
b. A radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate levels in the area have been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them; or
c. An individual qualified in radiation protection procedures with a radiation dose rate monitoring device, who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified Inthe Radiation Work Permit.

6.11.2 In addition to the requirements of Specification 6.11.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels greater than 1000 mR/h at 30 cm (12 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the Shift Manager on duty and/or health physics supervision. Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved RWP that shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work areas and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area. In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP, direct or remote (such as closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area.

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL (NUREG-0895) dated December, 1982, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1. No aquatic/water quality, terrestrial, or noise issues were identified.

Aquatic matters are addressed by the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements contained in NPDES Permit No. NHO020338 Issued by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (Region l) as amended. The NRC will rely on the U.S.E.P.A and the NPDES Permit for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
