Question 419: This question refers to the answer to
Question 129 in §20.1801. This is a very useful
interpretation, but it certainly is not evident in the
cited regulations. Is there related supporting
justification somewhere?
Answer: The answer to Question 129 is a statement as to
how this requirement will be enforced by the NRC staff
(i.e., in the same way as similar requirements have been
enforced in the past). As indicated in the answer to
Question 129, the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1801 and
20.1802 are essentially the same as the requirements of 10
CFR 20.207 (a) and 20.207 (b) except that 10 CFR 20.1801
and 20.1802 apply to controlled area as well as to
restricted areas. The answer is based on the NRC staff's
understanding of the intent of these requirements, as
reflected in the staff's enforcement of the similar
requirements of 10 CFR 20.207 (a) and 20.207 (b).
(Reference: 10 CFR 20.1801).
