Braidwood's UFAR states: "The contamination control program consists of multiple methods of controlling the spread of contamination to personnel and equipment within the plant. Routine smear surveys are periodically made of normally accessible areas of the plant and are recorded on survey sheets. These results are reviewed by a radiation protection supervisor or a health physicist. Special smear surveys are performed on an as needed basis for radiation work permits and for unconditional release of equipment, tools, and materials being removed from radiologically posted areas. Items which are contaminated are required to be decontaminated to within release limits or packaged and tagged in accordance with the station radiation protection procedures."
No mention of ropes, SOPs, etc... Jeffrey J.

A stepoff pad or other appropriate means may be used to prevent the spread of contamination." Followed by: "Nuclear Administrative and Technical Manual procedures incorporate those recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.39 which are considered applicable for housekeeping activities occurring during the operations phase that are comparable to those occurring during the construction phase (refer to section 1.8)." Following up to section 1.8, as mention above, give a detailed response to RG 1.39. Please let me know if you have more questions or would like the detailed given regarding RG 1.39.

For questions or concerns, please email the APS Cyber Defense Center team at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ____________________________________________________ At Vogtle 1&2 the FSAR contains the statement "that any area found contaminated is roped off or otherwise delineated with a physical barrier, posted with appropriate signs, and decontaminated as soon as practicable. In areas where the radiation level is high or where it is considered impractical to decontaminate the area to general radiation controlled area limits, a step-off pad is used to prevent the spread of contamination." This seems to contains more detail than necessary and requires a swing gate or rope at the ingress/egress area. The practice was questioned by INPO at boundaries in which a rope was utilized as the barrier. Question: Does your utility have that much detail in your FSAR for contamination control?
