If you mean in containment in general, yes we do. If you mean near the MIDS while it is running, the answer is no. For a general containment entry there are no special precautions and the dose isn't too bad after the detectors have decayed during the outage. We have done limit switch work near a detector after about a month of cooling time.

Subject: [Pwrrm] incore functional test
I’ve got a couple of questions related to the functional check of the incore system during outage.
1. Do you allow people in containment during the functional test?
2. If so, what type of barrier do you put in place to prevent inadvertent radiation exposure?
3. Is there a minimum decay time since the last flux map before this would be allowed?
Thank you in advance for any info you can offer.
