(b) When it is not practicable to apply process or other engineering controls to control the concentrations of radioactive material in air to values below those that define an airborne radioactivity area, the licensee or registrant shall, consistent with maintaining the total effective dose equivalent, as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), increase monitoring and limit intakes by one or more of the following means:

(1) Control of access;

(2) Limitation of exposure times;
