Fermi contamination control in UFSAR:

Protective clothing is worn in contaminated areas. These areas are well marked, 
and stepoff pads are installed at the entrances to prevent inadvertent entry 
into the areas. The objective of this is to keep exposure to radioactive 
material as limited as possible.

D.C. Cook contamination control UFSAR: "The spread of contamination from one 
area to another is minimized by the use of step-off pads.
Bags are used to carry contaminated tools and equipment....Radiation protection 
personnel conduct routine contamination surveys of accessible areas of the
plant and the ISFSI. Any area contaminated above set procedural levels is 
posted appropriately and decontaminated as soon as, and if, practical."

So no, we don't have that much detail in the UFSAR.

________________________________
Palo Verde FSAR states the following for Contamination Control:  "Areas found 
contaminated beyond specified limits are roped off or otherwise delineated with 
a physical barrier, posted appropriately, and decontaminated as soon as 
practical.  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.

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?
