i during which individuals are in -the area, to less than 25 percent of the specified concentrations. The use of process and engineering
- controls to' limit airborne radioactivity concentrations in the facilities was discussed with licensee representatives and the use of
- such controls was observed during tours.
f.
!~ 10 CFR .20.103(b) requires that when. it is impracticable to apply 4
process or engineering controls to limit concentrations of radioactive material in - air below 25% . of the concentrations specified in
~
Appendix B, -Table 1, Column 1, other precautionary measures should be
!. used to maintain the intake of' radioactive material by any individual 1
within seven consecutive days as far below 40 MPC-hours as is reason-L ably J achievable. By review of records, observations and discussions with licensee representatives, the: inspector evaluated the licensee's respiratory' prgtection. program, including training and medical qualifications.

- d. Posting, Labeling and Control I
j 10 CFR 20.203 specifies posting and labeling requirements for l containers and areas. During facility tours on April 15, 1985,
- independent measurements by the inspector revealed radiation levels of l about.55 mr/hr at two inches and about 6 mr/hr at eighteen inches from l- a shielded radioactive materials sample storage cabinet in the -Fatigue j .and Fracture Laboratory .in' the Hot Cell Area of Building B. The '
i observed radiation levels constituted a radiation area as defined in i
10 CFR 20.202(b)(2) and as such required posting as .specified in 10 CFR 20.203(b). ' The area apparently.had been posted as a radiation. area
- .but the sign had fallen and was not visible. Licensee management was
- informed that . failure to post the area as a radiation area was a j violation .(85-01-01) of the posting requirements of 10 CFR 20.203(b).
The radiation area sign was replaced 'at .the time of -this -inspection.
i Licensee management informed personnel . present at the exit interview
, -that al_1 posting'should be determined to be as required by the regula-i tions. Containers were observed to' be labeled as required and high
-radiatien areas were lockad and the keys controlled by. Health Physics.
Storage areas - were secured against unauthorized removal ~ of licensed material'as required by 10 CFR 20.207. A Radiation Work Permit system
- .is in effect as required by the
- license and_ procedures. _
- e. Surveys 10 CFR.20.201(b) and 10 CFR 20.401(b) require that appropriate radia-tion-surveys be made and records maintained of the survey results. The finspector reviewed survey records and found that the surveys were being made .and recorded as required. . Leak tests have been performed as
- required and the results recorded.
