EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
.
,
.
,
Haddam Neck Station l
NRC Inspection Report No. 50-213/98-06
!
This routine inspection included aspects of licensee activities in preparation for dismantlement i
and decommissioning of the facility. The report covers a three-month period of inspection by j
resident and regional NRC personnel, and includes reviews and assessments of spent fuel
'
]
safety, engineering and plant support activities, and management effectiveness.
j Spent Fuel Safety:
j The licensee procedures and controls were adequate to protect important plant systems,
'
including the spent fuel pool and systems containing radioactive fluids, from freezing. Licensee performance was very good to implement the nuclear island modifications per its commitments
-
and administrative controls.
Y Enaineerina and Suonort Activities:
.
Licensee corrective actions following an inadvertent discharge of radioactive waste water on
)
June 20,1998 were not fully effective to preclude a similar vulnerability in another waste l
processing system.
i
}
Plant Suonort and Radioloalcal Controls:
I i
The licensee applied good radiological controls for normal activities; however, they were i
challenged by two events involving locked high radiation area doors. These two events
!
involved the same labor force and the licensee took immediate corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Radiation protection was effective in keeping workers' radiological exposures
'
!
ALARA throughout 1998.
l l
The licensee's corrective actions associated with preventative maintenance activities for the l
plant security program were reasonable, complete and effective.
