ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.11 RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAM l

6.11.1 Procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

6.12 HIGH RADIATION AREA 6.12.1 In lieu of the " control device" or " alarm signal" required by 10 CFR Part 20.1601, each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem /h but less than 1000 mrem /h shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP)*. Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following:

a. A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area.

Health physics personnel or personnel esco.ded by health physics personnel shall be exempt from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned radiation protection duties, provided they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into high radiation areas.

WATERFORD - UNIT 3 6-22 AMENDMENT NO.116

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS HIGH RADIATION AREA (Continued)

b. A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate levelin the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.

c. A health physics qualified individual (i.e., qualified in radiation protection procedures) with a radiation dose rate monitoring device who is responsible for providing positive control over the 1

activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the facility Radiation Protection Superintendent-Nuclear in the RWP, 6.12.2 in addition to the requirements of Specification 6.12.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose greater than 1000 mrems*

but less than 500 rads" snall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the Shift Superintendent on duty and/or health l

physics supervision / designee. Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved RWP which shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work area-and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area. For individual areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months a dose in excess of 1000 mrems' but less than 500 rads ** that are located within large areas, such as PWR containment, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual areas, then that area shall be roped off conspicuously posted and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device. In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP, direct or remote (such as use of closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities within the area.

6.13 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP) 6.13.1 The PCP shall be approved by the Commission prior to implementation.

6.13.2 Licensee-initiated changes to the PCP:

a. Shall be documented and records of reviews performed shall be retained as required by Specification 6.10.3p. This documentation shall contain:

1. Sufficient information to support the chenge together with the appropriate analyses or evaluation justifying the change (s) and

Measurement made at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates.

" Measurement made at 1 meter from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates.

2. A determination that the change will maintain the overall conformance of the solidified waste product to existing requirements of Federal, State, or other applicable regulations.

b. Shall become effective after review and acceptance by the PORC and the approval of the General Manager Plant Operations.

l 6.14 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL (ODCM i 6.14.1 The ODCM shall be approved by the Commission prior to implementation.

6.14.2 Licensee-initiated changes to the ODCM:

a. Shall be documented and records of reviews performed shall be retained as required by Specification 6.10.3p. This document shall contain:

1. Sufficient information to support the change together with the appropriate analyses or evaluations justifying the change (s) and

2. A determination that the change will maintain the level of radioactive effluent control required pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1302,40 CFR Part 190,10 CFR 50.36a, and Appendix ! to 10 CFR Pau 50 and not adversely impact the accuracy or reliability of effluent, dose, or setpoint calculations.

b. Shall become effective after review and acceptance by the PORC and the approval of the General Manager Plant Operations.

l

c. Shall be submitted to the Commission in the form of a complete, legible copy of the entire ODCM as a part of or concurrent with the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period of the report in which any change to the ODCM was made. Each change shall be identified by markings in the margin of the affected pages, clearly indicating the area of the page that was changed, and shall indicate the date (e.g., month / year) the change was implemented.
