November 24, 1980 Note to Jack Wetmore, Licensing Guidance Branch, NRR I recently had an opportunity to look at a technical specification change section 6.13 (or 6.12) of the standard technical specification concerning high radiation area. The specification permitted one of the old specifica-tions to use the new standard technical specification language.
I have no problem with the change. However, looking at the standard technical specification language with respect to HP personnel footnote, the language is poor.
It intends to be circular in its reasoning and in view of some of the past overexposure cases, it may not be a good idea. When we can mutually arrange a convenient time, it would probably be a good idea to discuss it with Jim Lieberman.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS I
i 6.12 HIGH RADIATION AREA 6.12.1 In lieu of the " control device" or " alarm signal" required by paragraph 20.203(c)(2) of 10 CFR 20, each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than.100 mrem /hr but less than 1000 mrem /hr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permi Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shal be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following:
h A radiation monitoring device which continuousl-y indicates the a.
radiation dose rate in the area.
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 level in 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 activi-ties within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the facility Health Physicist in the Radiation Work Permit.
6.12.2 In addition to the requirements of 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 mrem shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative.s control of the Shift Foreman on duty and/or health physics supervision.
Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved Radiation Work Permit 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 one hour a dose in excess of.1000 mrem ** 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.
"Healtn Physics personnel or personnel escorted by Health Physics personnel shall be exempt.from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned radiation protection duties, provided they ar following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into high radia 'on areas.

v ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.11 RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAM 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 (OPTIONAL) 6.12.1 In lieu of the " control device" or "a'larm signal" required by
-paragraph 20.203(c)(2) of 10 CFR 20, each high radiation area in which t"e intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem /hr but less than 1000 -r a/hr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area vino entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring. issuance of a Radiati. Work Permit *. Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter su.a areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the followirg.
A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates ne a.
radiation dose rate in the area.
b.
A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received.

equipped with a radiation dose rate monitoring device. This indi-vidual shall be responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the facility Health Physicist in the Radiation Work Permit.
'6.12.2 The requirements of 6.12.1, above, shall also apply to each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 1000 arem/hr.
In addition, locked doors shall be provided to prevent unauthorized Entry into such areas and the keys shall be maintained under the adminis-trative control of the Shift Foreman on duty and/or the Plant Health Physicist.
" Health Physics personnel or personnel escorted by Health Physics personnel shall be exemot from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned radiation protection duties, provided they comply with approved radiation protection procedures for entry into high radiation areas.
