A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area.

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 rates in the area have been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.

An individual qualified in radiation protection, 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 by the Manager Radiation Protection or designate in the Radiation Work Permit.

In addition to the requirements of 6.12.1 areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose greater than 1000 mrem** shall be provided with locked doors*** to prevent unauthorized

entry, and the hard keys or access provided by magnetic keycard shall be maintained under the administrati've control of the Station Shift Supervisor or designate on duty and/or the Manager Radiation Protection or designate.

Ooors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved RWP which shall specify in accordance with site approved procedures accordingly, the dose rate levels in the immediate work area and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area.

In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP, continuous surveillance, direct or remote, such as use of closed circuit TV cameras, may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities within the area.

For individual areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose in excess of 1000 mrem*'hat are located within large areas, such as the drywell, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the indi vidual areas, then that area shall be roped off, conspicuously posted and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device.

  • by accessible passage and permanently fixed ladders
    • measurement made at 18" from source of radioactivity
      • The requirement for locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry does not apply to areas which may temporarily exceed 1000 mrem/hr during the hydrogen water chemistry tests to be conducted during approximately a six-week period following startup from the spring 1986 refueling outage.
