5.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 5.8 High Radiation Area As provided in paragraph 20.1601(c) of 10CFR Part 20, the following controls shall be applied to high radiation areas in place of the controls required by paragraph 20.1601(a) and (b) of 10CFR Part 20:

5.8.1 High Radiation Areas with dose Rates Not Exceeding 1.0 rem/hour at 30 Centimeters from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation:

a.

Each entryway to such an area shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area. Such barricades may be opened as necessary to permit entry or exit of personnel or equipment.

b.

Access to, and activities in, each such area shall be controlled by means of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) or equivalent that includes specification of radiation dose rates in the immediate work area(s) and other appropriate radiation protection equipment and measures.

c.

Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures and personnel continuously escorted by such individuals may be exempted from the requirement for an RWP or equivalent while performing their assigned duties provided that they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry to, exit from, and work in such areas.

d.

Each individual or group entering such an area shall possess:

1.

A radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area, or 2

A radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the radiation dose rates in the area and alarms when the devices dose alarm setpoint is reached, with an appropriate alarm setpoint, or

3.

A radiation monitoring device that continuously transmits dose rate and cumulative dose information to a remote receiver monitored by radiation protection personnel responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure within the area, or

4.

A self-reading dosimeter (e.g., pocket ionization chamber or electronic dosimeter), and (i) Be under the surveillance, as specified in the RWP or equivalent, while in the area, of an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures, equipped with a radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area, who is responsible for controlling personnel exposure within the area, or (continued) 5.0-13 Amendment No. 44

5.8 High Radiation Area 5.8.1 High Radiation Areas with Dose Rates Not Exceeding 1.0 rem/hour at 30 Centimeters from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation (continued):

(ii) Be under the surveillance as specified in the RWP or equivalent, while in the area, by means of closed circuit television, of personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures, responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure in the area, and with the means to communicate with individuals in the area who are covered by such surveillance.

e.

Except for individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures or personnel continuously escorted by such individuals, entry into such areas shall be made only after dose rates in the area have been determined and entry personnel are knowledgeable of them. These continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry into such areas. This dose rate determination, knowledge, and pre-job briefing does not require documentation prior to initial entry.

5.8.2 High Radiation Areas with Dose Rates Greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 Centimeters from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation, but less than 500 rads/hour at 1 meter from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation:

a.

Each entryway to such an area shall be conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and shall be provided with a locked or continuously guarded door or gate that prevents unauthorized entry, and, in addition:

1.

All such door and gate keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the shift foreman, radiation protection manager, or his or her designee.

2.

Doors and gates shall remain locked except during periods of personnel or equipment entry or exit.

b.

Access to, and activities in, each such area shall be controlled by means of an RWP or equivalent that includes specification of radiation dose rates in the immediate work area(s) and other appropriate radiation protection equipment and measures.

c.

Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures may be exempted from the requirement for an RWP or equivalent while performing radiation surveys in such areas provided that they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry to, exit from, and work in such areas.

d.

Each individual or group entering such an area shall possess:

1.

A radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the radiation dose rates in the area and alarms when the devices dose alarm setpoint is reached, with an appropriate alarm setpoint, or (continued) 5.0-14 Amendment No. 44

5.8 High Radiation Area 5.8.2 High Radiation Areas with Dose Rates Greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 Centimeters from Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation, but less than 500 rads/hour at 1 Meter from the Radiation Source or from any Surface Penetrated by the Radiation: (continued)

2.

A radiation monitoring device that continuously transmits dose rate and cumulative dose information to a remote receiver monitored by radiation protection personnel responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure within the area with the means to communicate with and control every individual in the area, or

3.

A self-reading dosimeter (e.g., pocket ionization chamber or electronic dosimeter), and (i)

Be under the surveillance, as specified in the RWP or equivalent, while in the area, of an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures, equipped with a radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area, who is responsible for controlling personnel exposure within the area, or (ii)

Be under the surveillance as specified in the RWP or equivalent, while in the area, by means of closed circuit television, of personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures, responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure in the area, and with the means to communicate with and control every individual in the area, or

4.

In those cases where options (2) and (3), above, are impractical or determined to be inconsistent with the As Low As is Reasonably Achievable principle, a radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area.

e.

Except for individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures or personnel continuously escorted by such individuals, entry into such areas shall be made only after dose rates in the area have been determined and entry personnel are knowledgeable of them. These continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry into such areas.

This dose rate determination, knowledge, and pre-job briefing does not require documentation prior to initial entry.

f.

Such individual areas that are within a large area, such as the refueling building, where no enclosure exists for the purpose of locking and where no enclosure can reasonably be constructed around the individual area, need not be controlled by a locked door or gate nor continuously guarded, but shall be barricaded, conspicuously posted, and a clearly visible flashing light shall be activated at the area as a warning device.
