Technical Specification 6.12.1 requires that each high radiation area, in which the intensity is greater than 100 mren/hr but less that 1,000 mrem /hr, shall be controlled by requiring the issuance of a radiation work permit (RWP) and be accompanied by one or more of the following: (a) a dose rate monitoring device that continuously indicates dose in the area, (b) a radiation monitoring device that continusouly integrates dose and alarms at a pre-set point; or (c) a health physics I
technician, with a radiation monitoring device, that provides positive control over activities in the area and provides surveillance and surveys I
at the frequency designated by.the fecility health physics supervisor.
