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.

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.

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?
