Are_~? __ Insp_ected:. Routine, unannounced inspection of the radiation protection
- program including:
organization, management controls and training, audits and appraisals, external exposure control, internal exposure control, control of radioactive materials, contamination, and surveys, and maintaining occt..:pational exposures_ALARA (IP 83750).
Also, reviewed were open items from past identified concerns (83750).
- Results:
During this inspection, one violation was identified for a failure tO-control, calibrate and operationally check health physics instrumentation (Section 8.a).
A violation was identified for a failure to control vendor manuals (Section 8.a). A non-cited violation was identified for a failure to implement adequate corrective actions (Section 8.b).
Weaknesses ~ere identified in the areas of management review of personnel qualifications (Section 4.a); training weaknesses associated with poor radiological work practices (Section 4.b); inadequacies of the radiation work permit system (Section 9); methodologies utilized to assess skin dose due to hot pafticle exposures (Section 6.b);.and the poor performance of contract radiation protection technicians (Sectiori 4.c, 5.a, and 8.b).
Strengths were identified in the areas of SGRP radiation protection performance, operational ALARA planning and in the field-management of radiation protection (Section 9).. Strengths were also identified in the 9104230028 910415 PDR ADOCK 05000255 G
