These items are infractions.
A.
Technical Specifications 6.11 states in part;
" Procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared and adhered ~
to for all plant operations.
These procedures shall be formulated to main-tain radiation exposures received during operation and maintenance as far below the limits specified in 10 CFR 20 as practicable.
The procedures shall include planning, preparation, and training for operation and main-tenance activities.
They shall also include exposure allocation, radiation and contamination control techniques, and final debriefing."
Radiation Protection Operating Procedures, Paragraph III.C.1., Count Rate Meter (also called "Frisker"), states in part; "A COUNT RATE METER...is used by personnel when tiiey exit from contaminated areas to ensure that they are not carrying contamination with them....
Procedure for use of the count rate meter:
a)
Approach the probe (detector) of the unit with the hands, but don't pick it up until the hands are moved slowly near the probe (as close to the probe as possible without touching it).
If the alarm sounds, put on one of the pairs of gloves provided and continue with step b.
b)
Once hands are shown to be free from contamination or gloves have been donned, pick up probe survey the rest of the body by passing the probe slowly over the body.
Make a thorough survey of the bottoms of shoes...."
