Subject:
Inspection 50-213/78-27
This refers to your letter dated January 2,1979, in response to our
letter dated December 4, 1978.
You are correct in stating that the height requirements for High Radiation
Area barricades or doors is not addressed, however, the key part of
Technical Specification 6.13.1 is that the doors will "... prevent un-
authorized entry into such areas...."
In order to meet the requirements
of this specification, the locked doors or barricades must be substantial
enough to prevent unauthorized entry of a person without the use of any
tools or equipment to defeat the barricade.
Since you had correctly identified these High Radiation Areas, took
steps to meet the intent of Technical Specification 6.13.1 by locking
the existing gates, and no evidence of unauthorized entry into these
areas has been identified, this item of noncompliance is reduced to the
category of a deficiency.
We understand that corrective action is an progress to provide more
substantial barricades for the High Radiation Areas in question and that
entry into these areas will be control? ad in such a manner as to meet
the requirements of 10 CFR 20.203(c)(2)(iii)(3). These actions will be
examined during a subsequent inspection of your licensed program.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely.
