HNP - Response Entrances to the primary RCA signs bearing the radiation symbol and the words: CAUTION RADIATION CONTROL AREA RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AREA RWP Required for Entry
Radioactive Materials Area (RMA) are posted when outside the primary RCA and less than or equal to 2 mrem/hour with a sign bearing the radiation symbol and the words: CAUTION RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AREA Radioactive Materials Area (RMA) are posted when outside the primary RCA and greater than or equal to 5 mrem/hour with a sign bearing the radiation symbol and the words: CAUTION RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS AREA and add an "RWP Required for Entry" insert as well as required RA/HRA/LHRA/VHRA inserts or signs.

Fort Calhoun Station we post RCA with Caution, Radioactive Materials Area, RWP required for entry into RCA, TLD and dosimeter required for entry. If the conditions warrant then we add radiation area. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 2:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Powernet: Quick posting benchmark... At SONGS, we have an arrangement of posting phrases (RA,RMA, REP (RWP) Required, etc...) at our RCA boundary. We also have several satellite RMA's and RCA's at our site. In some cases, for satellite area's the signage can read the same, whether RMA or RCA. At your site do you use specific signage inserts that have the words "Radiologically Controlled Area" at your RCA boundary, or do you use some combination of other phrases (such as Radiation Area, Rad. Materials Area, RWP Required, etc...)? If you don't have specific verbiage (RCA) on your signs demarking a satellite RCA boundary how do you post to differentiate between a satellite RCA and a satellite RMA to alert workers as to what type of area they may be entering?
