Radsafers and Denis,
We have a similar situation with a LSC.  We have blocked off the 
counter with 'cubicle dividers'.  NRC inspectors were in this office 
and checked the eff and MDA for the machine and did not question 
whether or not we ate or drank in the adjoining area.  No promises, 
but the dividers seem to have solved our problem with one inspection 
under our belt.

The above are my opinions and do not necessarily reflect the opinions 
of my employer.
