Subject:
Continuously Indicating Dose Rate Device Provided to Individual Permitted to Enter High Radiation Areas
SUMMARY
OF MEETING WITH PASNY ON NOVEMBER 30, 1978 On November 30, 1978, representatives of PASNY met with NRC Region I staff at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania to discuss compliance with the JAFNPP Technical Specification requirement to provide individuals with radiation monitoring devices which continuously indicate the radiation dose rate in the area during entries into high radiation areas.
Persons attending the meeting are identified in Appendix A.
The meeting was held at PASNY's request.
The licensee representative stated that a specific example is the operator who enters alone into saveral high radiation areas during each shift while making his rounds of the facility.
The licensee representa-tive stated that a digital radiation monitoring device that requires specific actuation by the operator before a reading is displayed is provided to the above individual.
Region I representatives stated that as currently used, this type of monitoring device does not meet the requirement for a continuously indicating dose rate device.
The licensee representative stated that an application will be initiated to change the JAFNPP Technical Specifications so that the above instrument may be used to comply with the above requirement, and meanwhile, the licensee will supplement each digital instrument with an ear phone to provide a continuous audible indication of the count rate, independent of the display, while the on-off switch is in the on position.
