ON PERS0fiNEL SEARCH REQUIREf4ENTS September 30, 1977 The prefatory paragraoh of 10 CFR 73.55 as amended Septenber 29, 1977 states that the performance requirements of paragraph (d)(1) as they apply to searches of regular employees of the licensee at the site may be satisfied using only equipment caoable of detecting firearms, explosives and incendiary devices. Acceptable metal detectors and explosive searching devices of the types currently available are deemed capable cf detecting firearms, explosives and incendiary devices for regular employees of the licensee at the site. Such equipment, if not currently in operation, must be purchased and made operational as soon as possible if the licensee [ using this option is to be in compliance with the performance reouirenents of 10 CFR 73.55. A regular emnloyee of a licensee is one who is a full time permanent employee whose permanent wo.rk station is at the site or p + those employees of the licensee who report regularly to the site (at least once per week) and includes employees of licensee contractors who are regularly employed at the site. All other personnel
