" control device" or " alarm signal" required 'by paragraph 20.203(c), each high radiation area, as defined in 10 CFR Part 20, in which the intensity of.

radiation is equal to or less than 1000 mR/h at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation 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 l

(RWP).

Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures (e.g., Health Physics 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 with exposure rates equal to on less than 1000 mR/h, provided they are otherwise~ following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into such high radiatfon 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 l

radiation dose rate in the area; or j

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 have been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them; or An individual qualified in radiation protection procedures with a c.

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.

qualified in radiation protection ' procedures to provide posit.ive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area.

For individual high radiation areas accessibla to personnel with radiation levels 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, conspicuously posted, and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device.
