The following procedures established pursuant to Technical Specifications, Section 6.11 state in part:

" Responsibility of Workers").

+

2) "It is the responsibility of all personnel utilizing an RWP to l familiarlze themselves'with the radiological conditions listed, protective' clothing and dosimetry required, and any special instructions. Each RWP user will complete his own individual items as Name, Initials, Date, and Badge No. Individual completion of

! these items constitutes acknowledgement of the conditions and i

requirements as listed"-(Procedure AP-305-4, " Radiation Work Permits, paragraph 3.2.3.5").
