Cooper Nuclear Station uses the following for guidance: 7.1 Normally, Radiation Areas inside the RCAs are identified by a posting on a stanchion, wall, floor, or door at each approach to the area. Rope boundaries or barriers may be used, when necessary, to effectively indicate the extent of area.

We might use several Radiation Area postings on stanchions, placed around a B-25 that met the 5mR/hr at one foot criteria for being a Radiation Area, for example, without connecting all of the postings/stanchions using rad rope. Question: Does your site post Radiation Areas similarly, or do you require Radiation Area postings/stanchions to be linked together using rad rope?
