Administrative procedures shall be developed and implem'ented to limit the working hours of unit staff who perform safety-related j
functions; e.g., licensed Senior Operators, licensed Op.erators, i
health physics personnel, equipment operators, and key maintenance personnel.
The amount of overtime worked by Unit staff members performing safety-related functions shall be limited in accordance with the NRC Policy Statement on working hours (Generic Letter No. 82-12).
l 6.2.3 ONSITE NUCLEAR SAFETY GROUP (ONSG)
FUNCTION 6.2.3.1 The ONSG serves as an indcundent safety engineering group and shall i
function to examine plant operatin; characteristics, NRC issuances, industry lidvisories,' REPORTABLE EVENTS and other sources of plant design and operating i
experience information, including plants of similar design, which may indicate 1
areas for improving plant safety.
The ONSG shall make detailed recommendations for revised procedures, equipment modifications, maintenance activities, opera-ticris activities or other means of improving plant safety to the Manager of Nuclear Safety, and the Superintendent, Byron Station.
I COMPOSITION 1
6.2.3.2 The ONSG shall be composed of at least four, dedicated, full-time engineers located en site.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS HIGH RADIATION AREA (Continued) source or from any surface which the radiation penetrates 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).
Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures (e.g., Rad / Chem Technician) or i
personnel continuously escorted by such individuals may be exempt from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned duties in high radiation areas with exposure rates equal to or less than 1000 mR/h, provided they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into such high radiation areas. 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; or 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 levels in the area nave been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them; or c.
An individual qualified in radiation protection procedures'with a radiatien dose rate monitoring device, who is responsible for providiag positive control over the activities within the area and shall oerform periodic radia', ion surveillance ct the frequency specified in the Radiation Work Permit.
6.12.2 In addition to the requirements of Specification 6.12.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels greater than 1000 mR/h at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface which the radiation penetrates shall be i
provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative 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 RWP which shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work areas and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area.
In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP, direct or remote (such as closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area.
During emergency situations which involve personnel in ury or actions taken to s
prevent major equipment damage, continuous surveillance and radiation monitoring of the work area by a qualified individual may be substituted for the routine RWP procedure.
For indiv: dual high radiation areas accessible to personnel with radiation l
1evels of greater than 1000 mR/h that are located within large areas, such as PWR containment, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and where no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual area, that individual area shall be barricaded (by a more substantial obstacle than rope),
conspicuously posted, and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device.
