'
Upon entering the protected area the duty reactor operator was
issued his personal numbered' picture badge identification.
The

,
reader to gain access to the control room vital area. After
-

room the badge was reattached to the
,
operator's outer jacket.
The operator then removed his jacket
and. stored it, with the badge still attached,
in his personal
locker which is also located within the control room vital area!

-
