Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region V Suite 202, Walnut Creek Plaza 1990 North California Boulevard Walnut Creek, California 94596 Docket No. 50-206 Attention: Mr. R. H. Engelken, Director
Dear Sir:
I. E. Circular No. 76-03 Radiation Exposures in Reactor Cavities The subject IE Circular has been reviewed. The information presented below responds, as requested, to items 1-4 listed under "ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY LICENSEES".
- 1. A thorough review of plant high radiation areas was conducted.
All areas are properly identified in accordance with the criteria of 10CFR20.202(b). Weekly radiation surveys are performed to monitor such areas and detect any changes in radiation levels.
The results of all surveys are maintained for review as part of the station files.
- 2. All entryways into high radiation areas are conspicuously posted, locked and alarmed to clearly identify the nature of the hazard and control entry. When entry is required, administrative procedures control access. Prior to work in such areas, on-the-spot surveys are performed to provide more detailed information concerning radiation levels.
=C~E
- 3. Radiation protection procedures and training and retraining programs address the matter of control and access to high radiation areas. The Radiation Protection Training Manual and applicable station procedures all give guidance for controlling exposure during entry into high radiation areas.
- 4. Administrative controls are exercised each time access to a high radiation area is required. A Radiation Exposure Permit must be filed and approved prior to entry. This permit must be reviewed and approved by Radiation Protection Supervision.
Based upon the above, it is our opinion that adequate administrative and physical controls currently exit at San Onofre Unit 1 to prevent excessive exposure such as those described in the Circular.
Sincerely,
