" 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 I

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, i.e., a Rad / Chem technician, or 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 in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem /

hr* but less than 1000 mrem /hr*, 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 radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the a.

radiation dose 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, A health physics qualified individual, i.e., qualified in radiation c.

protection procedures, with a radiation dose rate monitoring device, who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the Health Physicist in the Radiation Work Permit (RWP).

6.1.1. 2 In addition to the requirements of 6.1.1.1, above, for 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 *, the computer shall be l

programmed to permit entry through locked doors for any individual requiring access to any such High-High Radiation Areas for the time that access is required.

6.1.1. 3 Keys to manually open computer controlled High Radiation Area doors and High-High Radiation Area doors shall be maintained under the Administra-tion control of the Shift Supervisor on duty and/or the Health Physicist.

6.1.1. 4 High-High Radiation areas, as defined in 6.1.1.2 above, not equipped l

with the computerized card readers shall be maintained in accordance with 10 CFR 20.203 c.2 (iii), locked except during periods when access to the area is required with positive control over each individual entry, or 10 CFR 20.203.c.4.

In the case of a High Radiation Area established for a period of 30 days or less, direct surveillance to prevent unauthorized entry may be substituted.

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.
