Question 430: Question 373 concerns the minimum
requirements for height and access restrictions of barriers
used to prevent entry to locked high radiation areas (HRAs)
and very high radiation areas (VHRAs) at nuclear power
plants. Does this question and answer also apply to
non-power reactors?
Answer: No. The answer to Question 373 and Regulatory
Guide 8.38 which is referred to in the answer were all
written to address conditions at nuclear power plants and
are not necessarily adaptable to all situations at
non-power reactors, materials, or fuel cycle facilities.
Furthermore, the answer to Question 373 states that, in
general, there are no prescriptive, specific minimum height
requirements for barriers used to prevent entry to locked
HRAs and VHRAs. (Reference: 10 CFR 20.1601, 10 CFR
20.1602).
