12.1.1.10-2 Restroom and Eating Facilities

A restroom and kitchen or eating area should be provided within (preferably) or near the control room isolation boundary.

Additional Information:
Since formal breaks are not scheduled in most control rooms, it is important that personnel have access to these facilities without delay. It is preferable that they be used only by control room personnel. Provision should be made for communication if facilities are out of voice contact, so that an operator taking a break can be contacted as necessary by personnel in the control room (see Guideline 10.2.6-2).
