Please remember that a SEC claimant would qualify under the 250 days test even if the only occasionally went into the area. The days are to be "aggrated" or added together, not consecutive.
Example: a maintence man goes into area 800, (a SEC area) only 3 hours a day. This would add up to
15 hours/1 day a week. In one year, the maintence man had 52 days of exposure. Within five years, the maintence man has met the criteria for the 250 days.
Also note that the definition for a DOE facility includes the 'grounds'; so why wouldn't that definition also include the 'grounds' surrounding the area?
