ion purposes includes portable 3diation survey instruments, personnel monitoring equipment, fixed and portable area and airborne radioactivity monitors, laboratory equipment, air samplers, respiratory protective equipment, and protective clothing. The number and types of equipment to be used are adequate, meet the criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.97, and provide reasonable assurance that the applicant will be able to maintain occupational exposures as low as is reasonably achievable. All permanent and temporary plant personnel will be assigned (beta-gamma thermoluminescent dosimeter badges or film badges) to be worn in restricted areas at all times. These badges will be processed (monthly), in accordance with Regulatory Guide 8.3, or more frequently if significant exposures are suspected. All personnel assigned (TLD or film badges) are also required to wear (direct or indirect) reading dosimeters when entering the controlled area. The readings from these dosimeters will be used to keep a running total of an individual's dose prior to TLD or film badge processing. Plant visitors wear self-reading dosimeters or are escorted by an individual wearing such personnel dosimetry devices. Appropriate caution signs, labels, and signals will be provided, in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Sections 20.203 and 20.204. Neutron film badges, neutron dosimeters, and alarming dosimeters will also be provided for personnel when necessary, in accordance with Regulatory Guide 8.14. Whole body counts of all plant personnel.will be conducted on .a scheduled basis and other bioassays will be provided when deemed necessary by the (Radiation Protection Manager), in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20.103. Records of surveys, personnel monitoring, and bioassay will be maintained in accordance with 10 CFR Part 20, Sections 20.102, 20.201, 20.202, 20.401, '0.402, 20.405, 20.407, and 20.408, as well as Regulatory Guide 8.7.
