5.8.1 Pursuant to 10 CFR 20, paragraph 20.1601(c), in lieu of the "control device" or "alarm signal" required by 10 CFR 20.1601, each high radiation area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, in which the intensity of radiation is equal to or less than 1000 mrem/hr at 30 cm (12 in) from the radiation source or from any surface which 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 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 mrem/hr, 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 which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area; or

b. A radiation monitoring device which 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 Zion Station 5-1 Amendment Nos. 188 & 175

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 in the Radiation Work Permit.

5.8.2 In addition to the requirements of Specification 5.8.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels greater than 1000 mrem/hr at 30 cm (12 in) from the radiation source or from any surface which the radiation penetrates shall require the following:

a. Locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry. The keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the operating shift supervision on duty and/or health physics supervision.

b. Personnel access and exposure control over activities being performed within these areas shall be specified by an approved RWP. During emergency situations which involve personnel injury or actions taken to prevent major equipment damage, continuous surveillance and radiation monitoring of the work area by an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures may be substituted for the routine RWP procedure.

c. Each person entering the area shall be provided with an alarming radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate (such as an electronic dosimeter). Continuous coverage by a radiation technician may be substituted for alarming dosimetry.

5.8.3 For individual high radiation areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels of greater than 1000 mrem/hr at 30cm (12 in.), that are located within large areas (with the exception of 5.8.4), including the containment outside the missile barrier, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and where no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual area, that individual area shall be barricaded (by a more substantial obstacle than a rope), conspicuously posted, and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device.

5.8.4 For individual high radiation areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels of greater than 1000 mrem/hr at 30 cm (12 in.), that are located within the containment inside the missile barrier, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking the individual area, the access control shall be per the following:

a. The missile barrier ingress/egress points shall be barricaded, locked and conspicuously posted to prevent access; or Zion Station 5-2 Amendment Nos. 188 & 175

b. 1. The missile barrier ingress/egress points shall be conspicuously posted and have direct or electronic surveillance that is capable of preventing unauthorized entry; and

2. Additional localized postings shall be provided in areas with normal personnel access inside the missile barrier to inform personnel of dose rates greater than 1000 mrem/hr at 30 cm (12 in.).
