NRC INSPECTION REPORT 050-00133/05-003

Dear Mr. Oatley:

An NRC inspection was conducted between September 12-14, 2005 at your Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 facility. On September 14, 2005 at the conclusion of the site visit, an exit briefing was conducted with Mr. Roy Willis, Plant Manager and other members of your staff.

The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.

This inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection included reviews of your organization, management, safety reviews, audits, spent fuel pool safety, maintenance, decommissioning status, radiation exposure controls, environmental monitoring and radioactive waste management.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation involved handling of spent fuel contained in the central storage container without properly approved procedures. This violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A. of the Enforcement Policy. This violation is not being cited, in part, because your staff identified the violation and has entered the deficiency into the corrective action system. The NCV and the circumstances surrounding the violation are described in the subject inspection report. If you contest the violation or severity level of the NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U. S.

-4-Report Details Summary of Plant Status Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 is currently in decommissioning SAFSTOR status. Unit 3 received an operating license from the Atomic Energy Commission on August 28, 1962. This license was amended in 1965 for power increase. On July 2, 1976, Unit 3 was shutdown for annual refueling and seismic modifications. This work was suspended in December 1980, and in June 1983, PG&E announced its intention to decommission the unit based on economic analyses that showed that completing the necessary seismic upgrades would not be economical. Unit 3 has been essentially in SAFSTOR since July 1985. On July 19, 1988 NRC approved the licensees SAFSTOR plan and amended the license to a possess-but-not-operate status. The license will expire on November 9, 2015. The facility has undergone minimal decommissioning activity since shutdown.

During inventory of irradiated components stored in the spent fuel pool during the fall of 2003, the licensee found several fuel fragments. In response to questions raised regarding the accuracy of the special nuclear material (SNM) inventory, the plant manager initiated a reevaluation of the SNM possessed. During the reevaluation the licensee determined that the whereabouts of three approximately 18-inch long spent fuel rod segments was unknown. The reevaluation evolved into the SNM Control and Accountability Project. This project identified additional missing SNM in the form of one complete incore detector and three partial incore detectors The licensee completed the SNM Control and Accountability Project and issued its final report on May 27, 2005. The precise location of the missing SNM has remained undetermined. In response to the licensee notification of the missing SNM, the NRC conducted a Special Inspection. The final report of the special inspection was issued on August 19, 2005. The NRC concluded that regardless of whether the missing fuel segments were still located in the spent fuel pool, had been shipped off for reprocessing or had been transferred to a LLRW disposal facility, the overall risk was minimal to the health and safety of the public, workers or the environment. The NRC was evaluating the licensees response to the special inspection report and considering enforcement options at the time of this report.

1.0 Organization, Management and Cost Controls (IP 36801)

1.1 Safety Concerns Program a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the employee safety concerns program consisting of the implementing procedures, training and self-assessment performed of the program.

b.

Observations and Findings The safety concerns program in place at the Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP) was called the Employee Concerns Program (ECP). This program was controlled by

-5-Procedure OM3.ID3, Employee Concerns Program. Implementing instructions for the ECP program were included in Procedure OM3.NQ1, Employee Concerns Investigation and Reporting.

The HBPP ECP was administered as part of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant safety concerns program. Accordingly, the inspectors reviewed the most recent Diablo Canyon Power Plant Employee Concerns Program Self-Assessment, that had been performed for the calendar year 2005, for indications of the programs effectiveness. The self-assessment team was composed of two auditors from Diablo Canyon and two auditors from another nuclear utility. The self-assessment concluded that the ECP at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant was an effective program.

Each individual that obtained unescorted plant access at HBPP received training on the ECP during the initial General Employment Training (GET) course. Additionally, each employee received a copy of NRC Form 3, describing among other things the employees right to contact the NRC to report a concern. Annual re-qualification training also discussed the ECP and the employees right to contact the NRC with their concerns.

The licensee used a brochure entitled, Employee Concerns Program, to communicate the methods and phone number that were available to employees for contacting the ECP Coordinator. The brochure as well as posters describing the ECP program were conspicuously placed at various locations around the power plant.

The inspectors discussed the program with cognizant personnel on site and by telephone with the ECP Lead Investigator at Diablo Canyon. According to the ECP Lead Investigator, as of September 13, 2005 the ECP had received three separate concerns from Humboldt Bay personnel during the past year. The three concerns were not related to nuclear safety, however the concerns were actively being investigated by the ECP.

The inspectors selected four individuals from those observed onsite to interview regarding their knowledge of the licensee ECP. All four of the employees were aware that they could contact the ECP Coordinator or bring their concerns directly to the NRCs attention. All four individuals stated that they were comfortable raising concerns to plant management or to the ECP Coordinator. The one individual who had prior involvement with the program commented that although he/she was satisfied with the resolution of his/her concern it had taken longer than he/she expected to receive a response after his/hers initial contact with the ECP Coordinator.

The inspectors concluded that the licensees safety concerns program was being effectively implemented.

c.

Conclusion The licensees safety concerns program was being effectively implemented.

-6-1.2 Site Organization Qualifications a.

Inspection Scope The qualifications of the key members of the licensees plant staff were compared to requirements contained in licensing basis documents.

b.

Observations and Findings The inspectors reviewed site organizational requirements that were contained in Procedure L-3, Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR). The DSAR listed key positions in the plant organization along with minimum plant staff qualifications that were required to be maintained during the SAFSTOR period.

The qualifications for the key positions of Plant Manager, Supervisor of Operations, Radiation Protection Manager, Supervisor of Maintenance, Nuclear Quality Services (NQS) Supervisor and Engineering Manager were reviewed by the inspectors and found to meet or exceed the requirements contained in the DSAR.

c.

Conclusion Personnel qualifications for key management and supervisory positions at HBPP met or exceeded the minimum standards specified in the HBPP Defueled Safety Analysis Report.

2.0 Safety Reviews, Design Changes, and Modifications (IP 37801)

a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees safety review program, including selected requirements of the Plant Staff Review Committee (PSRC).

b.

Observations and Findings Licensee Procedure HBAP C-19, Licensing Bases Impact Evaluation (LBIE), contained instructions for performing 10 CFR 50.59 safety reviews at HBPP. Procedure HBAP C-19 also contained screening tools to ensure that potential changes affecting decommissioning activities, the Emergency Plan, the Physical Security Plan, the Fire Protection Program, the SAFSTOR Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and the SAFSTOR QA Plan were properly evaluated. Attachment 8.1 of Procedure HBAP C-19 was used to perform the safety screen of the proposed activity. Attachment 8.2 of Procedure HBAP C-19 was used in the event that a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation was required for the proposed activity.

The licensee provided a list of eight modifications and numerous procedure changes that had been approved since the most recent NRC inspection of the safety review program, that had been conducted during July, 2004. The inspectors reviewed the

-7-safety screen reviews associated with the eight modifications and selected 12 safety screen reviews from the licensee procedure changes. The inspectors found that the safety screen reviews for all of the aforementioned documents were in compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, the PSRC meeting minutes were found to document review and approval of the safety screen reviews for the eight modification packages. The licensee reported that no 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluations had been performed during the requested time period.

The SAFSTOR Quality Assurance Plan stated that the purpose of the PSRC was to meet on a regular basis to review overall operating and maintenance experience, proposed changes and tests, adequacy of procedures, and other matters that may have a bearing on nuclear or radiological safety on the plant. Procedure HBAP A-2, Plant Staff Review Committee (PSRC), described the organization of the PSRC along with its responsibilities and duties. The qualifications for the PSRC regular members were reviewed and found to meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the DSAR (see Section 1.2.b for additional details).

Attachment 7.1 of Procedure HBAP A-2 required that the PSRC meet at least once per quarter and that each meeting consist of a quorum of at least four regular members or three regular members and an alternate. Reviews indicated that the PSRC had met a total of 75 times since July 15, 2004. Attendance from eight selected PSRC meeting minutes were reviewed and found to contain a quorum of PSRC members present at each meeting.

The SAFSTOR Quality Assurance Plan, Section 2.1.3 and Procedure HBAP-2, Attachment 7.1, Function 3, required that the PSRC investigate any violation of the Technical Specifications and prepare and forward a report to the Senior Vice President, Generation / Chief Nuclear Officer and to the Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee covering their evaluation and recommendation to prevent recurrence. The inspectors asked the licensee to show how this requirement had been achieved for NCR HB3-04-QC-N004, that documented a Technical Specification violation. The licensee provided documentation that NCR HB3-04-QC-N004, including the corrective actions to prevent recurrence, had been approved by the PSRC and forwarded to both of the required recipients on July 7, 2005. The inspectors agreed that this met the intent of the requirement, however the wording could also be construed to require a separate report that included the evaluation and recommendation to prevent recurrence. The licensee decided to initiate a Systems Application and Processes Notification (SAPN) to evaluate if the wording in the requirement needed to be revised to more accurately reflect the method of documenting PSRC evaluation and recommendations.

c.

Conclusions The licensees safety review program was determined to effectively meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

The Plant Staff Review Committee (PSRC) meetings had been conducted in accordance with licensee requirements.

-8-3.0 Self-Assessment, Auditing, and Corrective Action (IP 40801)

3.1 Quality Assurance Audit Program a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees quality assurance audit program for compliance with regulatory requirements.

b.

Observations and Findings Licensee Procedure QASP-8, Audit Program, contained the requirements for a comprehensive system of planned and documented audits to verify compliance with the licensee Quality Assurance Program. Procedure TQ1.NQ1, Auditor Qualification and Certification, provided the requirements for the qualification and certification of quality auditors. A review of auditor qualification records indicated that all the individuals conducting HBPP audits were qualified to perform quality related audits.

The licensee provided reports for the eight programs that had been audited since January 9, 2004. Audits had been conducted of the Corrective Action Program, Security Program, Fire Protection Program, Plant Staff Performance Training & Qualifications, Quality Assurance Program, Technical Specifications & License Conditions, Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures, and the Radioactive Waste Processing & Process Control Program. The licensee had concluded that overall each of the programs had been effectively implemented. The audits appeared to be thorough and comprehensive.

Areas of good performance and areas for improvement were normally present in each of the licensee audits. The frequency of the audits reviewed met the timeliness requirements that were contained in Procedure QASP-8, Audit Program.

Documentation was provided that problems identified during the audit had been entered into the HBPP corrective action system as a SAP Notification (SAPN), as required by Section 4.4.2 of Procedure QASP-2.

The licensee had conducted assessments of in-process quality related work efforts during the inspection period. One assessment had been conducted for additional security measure implementation along with five separate assessments of the Special Nuclear Material (SNM) Inventory, Inspection and Control Project. A review of the assessments indicated that the Nuclear Quality Service (NQS) organization had identified positive areas, problems and weakness areas. Problems identified during the assessment were entered into the licensee corrective action program as a SAPN.

The Quality Department provided a summary of their periodic evaluations of quality performance at HBPP in the Quality Performance Assessment Reports. Each assessment report summarized the quality performance achieved at HBPP for a specific time period. The assessment reports for the periods between January 1, 2004 through June 15, 2005 were reviewed by the inspectors. The assessment reports identified strengths, weaknesses, issues and provided identification of improving or declining trends. Metrics or graphs of the corrective action program were provided with each report depicting the number, age and department associated with the corrective actions.

-9-The assessment reports were viewed as an appropriate tool to assist management in the identification of potential problem areas.

c.

Conclusion The auditors were certified in accordance with licensee requirements and were independent of the areas audited.

The Quality organization had effectively performed audits and assessments and provided HBPP management with tools for identification of potential problem areas.

3.2 Corrective Action Program a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective action program for compliance with regulatory requirements.

b.

Observations and Findings The licensees corrective action program was described in Procedure HBAP C-12, Problem Identification and Resolution. The program utilized a SAP Notification (SAPN) for the identification of equipment, material, procedural, and quality related problems and nonconformances at HBPP. The licensee had initiated a total of 1,581 individual SAPNs and 10 nonconformance reports (NCRs) since August 21, 2003. The inspectors selected a sample of 14 SAPNs to review. The SAPNs were found to identify the problem, document the evaluation, recommend corrective actions and document closure of the issue. The SAPNs reviewed met the licensee procedural requirements.

The 10 NCRs, written since August 21, 2003, were found to contain a description of the problem, the cause or root cause of the problem, an analysis of the problem, a reportability determination, investigative actions, immediate corrective actions, and corrective actions to prevent recurrence along with prudent actions to be taken. The PSRC was required to evaluate and concur with the NCR root cause and corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Records indicated that seven of the 10 NCRs had been completed and had received PSRC concurrence. The inspectors found that the PSRC meeting minutes associated with the seven approved NCRs, documented review and approval of the cause / root cause and the actions to prevent recurrence. The inspectors reviewed the seven PSRC approved NCRs and determined that the licensee assessments and actions to prevent recurrence appeared to be satisfactory. NCR numbers HB3-04-QC-N005, HB3-05-QC-N001 and HB3-05-QC-N002 were still in-process at the time of the inspection and therefore had not received concurrence from the PSRC.

c.

Conclusion The corrective action program met regulatory requirements.

-10-4.0 Spent Fuel Pool Safety (IP 60801)

4.1 SFP and SFP Liner Water Levels a.

Inspection Scope The surveillances for the spent fuel pool (SFP) water level and liner water level were reviewed for compliance with technical specifications requirements. A tour of the spent fuel pool area and the Unit 3 control room was conducted.

b.

Observations and Findings The SFP water level requirements had been last inspected in March, 2003. Technical Specification 3.1.1 required that the SFP water level be maintained at an elevation greater than 10.5 feet. Technical Specification 3.1.3, required the SFP liner water level be at an elevation of less than +9 inches. Surveillance Requirements 3.1.1.1 and 3.1.3.1 required that the SFP water levels be verified every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Control room personnel were responsible for recording the water levels of the SFP and the SFP liner approximately every 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. This information was documented on Procedure A-2, Attachment 5.1, Operational Log Sheets and Daily Water Inventory Report. During a tour of the refueling building the inspectors noted that the SFP level met the technical specification requirement.

Section 5.4.2 of the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) required that the SFP level monitors be calibrated and have their alarm set points verified annually. The licensee had two independent level monitors that provided an indication of water level and initiated an alarm when the water level dropped below a specified elevation of 10 feet-8 inches. Surveillance Test Procedure, STP 3.6.3, Calibration and Alarm Set Point Verification, was used to calibrate the SFP water level monitors and to verify the SFP low level alarms setpoints were correct. Documentation was available that indicated these instruments had been maintained in current calibration, since the last inspection performed during March, 2003.

The licensee performed Surveillance Test Procedure, STP 3.6.2, SFP Level Monitor Verification, on a monthly basis to compare the reported values between the two level monitor instruments. Additionally, STP 3.6.2 verified that the instrument readings were within the required accuracy range by comparing the readings to the actual measurements taken at the pool. The records indicated that STP 3.6.2 had been performed at the required frequency, since the last time this area had been inspected.

The inspectors noted that when test data identified instrument problems, the licensee had promptly conducted corrective maintenance.

c.

Conclusion The licensee had maintained the spent fuel pool water level requirements in accordance with applicable technical specifications.

-11-4.2 SFP Water Quality a.

Inspection Scope The SFP water quality sampling and analysis program was reviewed.

b.

Observations and Findings Table 5-2 of the DSAR specified the limits for spent fuel storage pool water chemistry and activity during SAFSTOR. Procedure STP 3.6.5, Monthly Spent Fuel Pool Water Quality Check, was used to sample and analyze the SFP water on a monthly basis.

The inspectors reviewed Attachment 8.1, Spent Fuel Pool Water Quality Data Sheet, of STP 3.6.5 that was maintained in the Unit 3 Control Room. Data sheets were available for ten water samples that had been collected and analyzed by the licensee during 2005. All the test results were within the DSAR specified limits. It was noted that the demineralizer resin used to maintain water quality needed to be replaced, however the licensee had experienced difficulties transferring the resin from the tank (see Section 5.0 for additional details). The licensee had developed several contingency plans to maintain water quality at acceptable levels, should the problems with the resin transfer persist. If the water quality exceeded the specified limits and the licensee was not able to restore the water quality to specified chemistry limits within 30 days, Section 5.2 of the DSAR required that a report be submitted to the NRC.

c.

Conclusion The licensee had maintained the spent fuel pool water quality in accordance with applicable technical specifications.

4.3 Siphon and Drain Protection a.

Inspection Scope The siphon and drain protection measures for the SFP were reviewed.

b.

Observations and Findings The inspectors reviewed the emergency plans to contend with loss of spent fuel pool water inventory. These plans included provisions to provide demineralized water, fire water and salt water from a remote location without having to access the refueling building. These plans were controlled by Procedure EOP-10, Loss of Pool Water Level, and Procedure ECA-01, Adding Salt Water to and repair of the Spent Fuel Pool.

Two surveillance test procedures were used by the licensee to verify their ability to makeup lost water to the SFP. These were STP 3.6.7, Annual Demin Water Tank Gravity Flow to Spent Fuel Pool Test and STP 3.6.8, Annual Spent Fuel Pool Emergency Makeup Flow Test. The inspectors reviewed the data sheets for STP 3.6.7 and 3.6.8 that had been conducted since 2003. The surveillances had been performed

-12-at the required frequency and met the acceptance criteria.

The licensee had evaluated the potential for SFP siphon and/or drainage in 1994 as part of their response to NRC Bulletin 94-01, Potential Fuel Pool Draindown Caused by Inadequate Maintenance Practices, at Dresden Unit 1. As noted in Section 4.c of inspection report 050-133/03-01, SFP drain valve 06-034, was identified by the licensee as the only credible path for draining the SFP. The licensee found that if SFP drain valve 06-034 had been utilized to drain the SFP, only enough water to cover the bottom 6-inches of the fuel would have remained in the SFP. Due to the age of the fuel, the only significant issue that could be attributed to the fuel having been uncovered in this potential draindown scenario, would be the substantial increase in radiation levels. To provide additional barriers that would prevent an inadvertent SFP draindown, the licensee had sealed the floor drains in the minus 14 feet elevation of the pipe gallery, placed a blind flange immediately downstream of the closed drain valve and locked the drain valve in the closed position. The licensee has also verified the integrity of the exposed piping from where it exited the concrete to the closed drain valve by performing an ultrasonic examination.

On September 13, 2005, the inspectors toured the pipe gallery and verified that SFP drain valve 06-034 was locked, there was a blind flange downstream of the drain valve, and that the minus 14 feet elevation floor drains were all plugged. The inspectors also verified that procedure HBAP C-9 #1 listed SFP drain valve 06-034 and the two minus 14 feet elevation valve gallery floor drains as sealed or locked components. The inspectors reviewed the sealed component Change Log for the period January 25, 2003 through September 1, 2005 and verified that SFP drain valve 06-034 had not been opened. The inspector concluded that potential drain systems for the SFP were being properly controlled and maintained to prevent drain downs.

c.

Conclusion Potential draindown systems for the SFP had been properly controlled.

4.4 Procedural Compliance a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed a procedural compliance problem that had been self-identified by the licensee.

b.

Observations and Findings From July 7-13, 2004, HBPP personnel had performed search activities for the three missing 18-inch fuel segments associated with assembly A-49. During this time frame, personnel removed items that were suspected to be nuclear fuel from the central storage container (CSC). In an effort to determine if the missing segments were located in the CSC, personnel raised the CSC and emptied the contents into another container to improve viewing conditions. Fuel movements and storage requirements were required to be controlled and authorized to ensure that they would not present a nuclear

-13-criticality concern. Movement of the fuel fragments during this time frame had been made without using properly authorized procedures.

HBPP Technical Specification 5.5.1.d. required in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained for fuel handling operations. Contrary to this, the licensee did not have a properly approved procedure that provided directions for the handling of the fuel contained in the CSC. This violation was self-identified by the licensee, entered into the licensees corrective action program as NCR HB3-04-QC-N004, and subsequently found to be bounded by the licensee fuel criticality evaluation.

This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation, consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy (NCV 50-133/0503-01).

c.

Conclusion A non-cited violation of NRC requirements was identified involving the handling of spent fuel without properly approved procedures.

5.0 Maintenance and Surveillance (IP 62801)

a.

Inspection Scope The licensees maintenance and surveillance program was reviewed for compliance with the Maintenance Rule requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.65.

b.

Observations and Findings Administrative procedures HBAP C-40, Maintenance Program and HBAP C-40 #1, NRC 10 CFR 50.65 Maintenance Rule Compliance, described the licensees program for complying with the Maintenance Rule. The licensee had identified 17 Structure, System or Components (SSCs) that were subjected to the Maintenance Rule. The licensee had developed surveillance test procedures to monitor the SSCs subject to the maintenance rule as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1).

HBAP C-40, Maintenance Program, classified preventative maintenance activities into three levels

Level 1 activities were encompassed by the Surveillance Test Procedures (STP)

and involved all equipment with limiting condition of operations (LCO) as specified in the plants technical specifications (TS), offsite dose calculation manual (ODCM), or Section 5 of the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR).

  • Level 2 maintenance activities were for equipment that support an LCO.
  • Level 3 maintenance activities were for all other equipment that the licensee had determined was required to be available during SAFSTOR.

The inspectors reviewed the implementation of selected STPs and associated Level 2

-14-maintenance activities to evaluate if the licensee was periodically evaluating and assessing the performance of their SSCs, as required by 10 CFR 50.65(a)(3).

The inspectors were briefed by the licensee on a problem encountered while performing a routine maintenance activity. The licensee had encountered problems while attempting to transfer partially used demineralizer resin from the SFP demineralizer.

The resin was losing its effectiveness in cleaning the SFP water, as observed by the increased levels in water conductivity and 137Cs activity. The spent resin was also radiologically contaminated. The procedure in use by the licensee required sluicing the used resin from the demineralizer to the disposal tank. On July 28, 2005, as in previous transfers, the resin bed was agitated with air and pressurized with water. Flow was observed in the sight glass when the discharge line was opened, but the flow stopped almost immediately. Problem report SAPN 1234343 noted that when repeated attempts to move the resin failed, the licensee decided to change their procedure to permit an increase of the water pressure from a maximum of 25 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) to 100 psig,. In order to provide the higher water pressure, the licensee introduced a modification to the SFP Demineralizer system by placing a manifold in the system that provided connections to service air, demineralized water and fire water sources. This modification was in place on August 3, 2005, when during the attempt to break up and sluice the resin, a gasket failed that provided a pathway for water and contaminated resin to spray into the SFP Demineralizer room. The liquid spill and area of contamination were limited to the SFP Demineralizer room. No individuals were contaminated during the gasket failure. The licensee initiated an additional problem report SAPN 1234472. At the end of the site visit the licensees event evaluation had not been completed and the spent resin had not been replaced. Because of the potential radiological consequences associated with this event and the need to ensure comprehensive and effective corrective actions, the licensees evaluation and corrective actions related to this event will be reviewed during a future inspection (IFI 50-133/0503-02).

c.

Conclusions The licensee had developed and implemented a program to comply with the requirements of the Maintenance Rule.

6.0 Decommissioning Performance and Status Review (IP 71801)

7.0 Occupational Radiation Exposure (IP 83750)

7.1 Audits and Appraisals a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors reviewed the licensees recent radiation protection program assessment and audits, and their radiological occurrence reporting system.

b.

Observations and Findings 10 CFR 20.1101 required each license to conduct, at least annually, a review of their radiation protection program content and implementation. The controlling procedure for conducting this review is Humboldt Bay Administrative Procedure HB-C200, Requirements for the HBPP Radiation Protection Program. Section 4.1.1 of this procedure stated, the HBPP Radiation Protection Program will be reviewed for content and implementation annually. This review should be performed by a combination of Radiation Protection Supervision, Quality Assurance, and Corporate or Contract audits.

It is recognized, that in some years, Quality Assurance and Corporate or Contract audits may not be performed. The typical elements of this annual review is to assess:

procedural compliance, technical performance, and the Radiation Protection program effectiveness and implementation.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee radiation protection program assessment for calender year 2004. This assessment had been prepared by the HBPP radiation protection department and was approved by the Radiation Protection Manager on June 17, 2005. The assessment identified milestones achieved, a summary of radiation exposures received by occupationally exposed individuals and members of the public, non-routine radiological work, a summary of the self-assessment performed on the free release of tools, and an assessment of radiation doses received by emergency responders and other visitors. The assessment concluded that the radiation protection program was appropriate for the status of the plant and that it was implemented in a manner that maintained radiation exposures to members of the public and to occupationally exposed individuals as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

-16-Audit Report 042240007, HBPP Radiation Protection, Radioactive Material Packaging

& Transportation, Radioactive Waste Processing & Process Control Programs Audit, was reviewed by the inspectors. This audit was conducted September 15 through November 19, 2004 and the report was approved and issued on November 23, 2004.

The inspectors concluded that the combined audit and review conducted in 2004 met the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 20.1101(c).

To document and evaluate identified radiation protection deficiencies, the licensee had established the Radiological Occurrence Report (ROR) system. This program was guided by Radiation Control Procedure RCP-2F, Radiological Occurrence Reports.

Records maintained by the licensee indicated that 9 RORs were issued in 2004 and 13 initiated to date in calendar year 2005. The licensee had effectively followed its process for reporting, documenting, and evaluating radiological occurrences.

c.

Conclusions The combined audit and review of the radiation protection program conducted in 2004 met applicable requirements. The licensees radiological occurrence report system had properly documented and evaluated radiation protection deficiencies.

7.2 Changes a.

Inspection Scope The inspectors interviewed the radiation protection manager and the radiation protection engineer to determine if any of the changes that had been made to the organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, programs, or procedures since the last inspection had a negative affect on occupational radiation protection.

b.

Observations and Findings The Senior Radiation Protection Engineer had indicated his intention to retire during the first quarter of calendar year 2006. A new radiation protection engineer had been added to the staff on July 15, 2005, to provide a transition period. This individual was in the process of completing his qualification requirements at the time of the inspection. With the exception of this new individual, there had been no other changes in personnel nor organization, since this area was last reviewed during the January 5-9, 2004 inspection.

The licensee had acquired two new radiation detection instruments for site use. New operating and testing procedures had been developed and implemented for these instruments. During the site visit, the licensee was also testing new alpha continuous air monitors. Subsequent to the site inspection, the licensee completed their evaluation of the air monitors and issued a procedure for its calibration and use.

Ten radiation protection procedures had been revised, received limited review or had been initially issued since this area was last inspected in January 5-9, 2004. The inspectors selected two of these procedures for review. The reviews indicated that procedure changes implemented by the licensee provided improvements or

-17-clarifications for the existing procedures. The inspectors concluded that these procedure changes had a positive effect on the program.

c.

Conclusions The inspectors concluded that changes made to the site organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, programs, and procedures since the last inspection had a positive effect on occupational radiation protection.

7.3 External and Internal Exposure Control and Other Radiation Protection Inspection Areas a.

Inspection Scope The licensees personnel radiation monitoring program and associated reports submitted were inspected for compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and commitments.

b.

Observations and Findings The inspectors interviewed the Dosimetry Coordinator about the occupational radiation exposure control program, and examined occupational dosimetry records from January 1, 2004 through September 14, 2005. The records indicated that only one individual had been classified as a declared pregnant worker, and that no planned special exposures had been conducted. Records maintained by the licensee indicated that the declared pregnant worker had received training per the guidance contained in Regulatory Guide 8.13 and radiological exposure to the embryo/fetus had been maintained below the limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1208(a).

As noted in inspection report 50-133/2003-04, the licensee used thermo luminescent dosimeters (TLDs) provided by the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. Diablo Canyon was accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program for the type of dosimeters used. This accreditation is valid through September 30, 2006.

During calender year 2004, the licensee had monitored 118 individuals with TLDs for external radiation exposure, and 43 individuals with breathing zone air samples for internal exposures.

. The licensee used Varskin Model 2 computer code to evaluate and assigned a dose of 0.004 rem

. The cumulative total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) during 2004 for all individuals monitored was 0.454 rem; 0.419 rem from external exposure, deep dose equivalent (DDE) and 0.035 rem to internal exposure or committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE). CEDE was derived based on the results from breathing zone air samples, lapel air samples. The individual with the highest exposure during calendar year 2004 received 0.063 rem TEDE, 0.048 rem DDE and 0.015 rem CEDE.

Other dose measurements for shallow dose, lens of the eye dose, and extremity dose were all below applicable limits.
