ATTACHMgNT A

SUBJECT:

LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 Revision to Administrative Control of High Radiation Areas BACKGROUND This Technical Specification contains requirements for positive control of high radiation areas as defined in 10 CFR 20. Each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 arem/hr but less than 5000 mrem /hr is controlled by the security computer system. High radiation areas not equipped with the computerized. card readers are maintained locked in accordance with 10 CFR 20.203(c)(4). A high radiation area not controlled in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 is contrary to the Technical Specifications.

DISCUSSION This Technical Specification change is pursuant to 10 CFR 20.203(c)(5) which permits LaSalle County Station to apply to the Commission for approval of alternate method of controlling access to high radiation

-areas.

Specification 6.1.1.1 is revised to allow a high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mesm/hr but less than 1000 mrem /hr to be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP). These areas are also barricaded and conspicuously posted.

Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures, or personnel continuously escorted by such individuals may be' exempt from the RWP issuance requirement provided they are following plant radiation protection procedures for entry'into such high radiation areas.

Specification 6.1.1.2 is revised to require 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 meem to be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a High Radiation Area and entry to be controlled by the security computer system.

Specification 6.1.1.4 is revised to make it consistent with Specification 6.1.1.1 and 6.1.1.2.
