SECTION 6 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.13 HIGH RADIATION AREA 6.13.1 In lieu of the "control device" or "alarm signal' required by Section 20.1601 of 10 CFR 20, each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation at 30 cm (11.8 in.) is greater than deep dose equivalent of 100 mRem/hr but less than 1,000 mRem/hr 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). NOTE: Health Physics personnel shall be exempt from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned radiation protection duties, provided they are following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into high radiation areas. An individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with one or more of the following:
- a. A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area.
- b. A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a pre-set 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.
- c. A health physics qualified individual (i.e., qualified in radiation protection procedures) with a radiation dose rate monitoring device who is responsible for providing positive exposure control over the activities within the area and who will perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency in the RWP. The surveillance frequency will be established by the management position responsible for radiological controls.
6.13.2 Specification 6.13.1 shall also apply to each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than deep dose equivalent of 1,000 mRem/hr at 30 cm (11.8 in.) but less than 500 rads in 1 hour at 1 meter (3.28 ft.) from sources of radioactivity. In addition, locked doors shall be provided to prevent unauthorized entry into such areas and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of operations and/or radiation protection supervision on duty.
