In March 1991, the former Manager of E&RC accepted a position with the Corporate Offic The inspector determined that the new Manager of E&RC had prior experience in a similar position and was adequately qualified to meet the requirements of Technical Specification (TS) 6.3.2, and Regulatory Guide 1.8, September 1975.

Audits and Appraisals (86750)
The inspector reviewed the licensee's quality control (QC)/surveillrce an qultyV assurance (QA)
activi*ties relative to solid Jradioactive wa ste processing activities and transportation of radioactive wast The last audit of solid radioactive waste activities was made in February 199 However, the audit report had not been issued prior to the inspectio The inspector reviewed the previous audit made in February 1990, the last QA/QC surveillance report 90-091 dated December 27, 1990, and an Ob-rvation Report dated March 7, 199 The reports dncumented personnel safety iss.ues and areas for improvement, however, there were no si Cificant findings concerning radicactive waste handling and shippin No viol ations or deviations were identifie.
Traini ng and Qualification of Personnel (86750)
The inspector determined that the licensee provided training and periodic Lrai ni n prcgrams to those employees managing, processing and shipping solid radicactive wast Classroom instruction included training on the appi cable radioactive waste shipping regulations and CPL radioactive wste shi pment procedure Training also included on-the-job training within an approved training/quaification progra The qualification program for radioactive waste shipment personnel addressed: collecting rep1-sentative samples for classification of radioactive waste; surveys of packages and transportation vehicand lacardingtransportat-ion veh-ices; documentation of radioogoical survey and preparation cf shipping manifests; shipment loading; selecting apprcpriate ccntainers and packages; classification; and applicable computer programs used by the staf The irspector ver-ifi.d that radioactive waste personnel had or were in the process of completing the r-adinactive waste shipment training objectives and were qualified for their dutie No violations cr devia tions were identifie.
Shipping of Low-Level Waste for Disposal and Transportation (86750)
CFR 71.5 requires that licensees who transport licensed material outside the confines of its plant or other place of use, or who deliver licensed material to a carrier for transport, shall comply with the applicable requirements of the regulations appropriate to the mode of transport of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR Parts 170 through 18 The inspector reviewed selected records of radioactive waste shipment performed during 1990 and 199 The shipping manifests exami ned were prepared consistent with 49 CFR requirement The radiation and contamination survey results were within the limits specified for the mode of transport and shipment classificatio The inspector selectively aerformed independent calculations using licensee's records of material
- radioactive nucl ide composition and verified that the shipments reviewed had been properly classifie No violations or deviations were identifie.
Control of Contamination (83750)
The inspector reviewed the licensee's cuntrols. for a temporary radiation control area (RCA)
established in the Turbine Building during the last refueling outag During the outage, licensee personnel removed the tubes from a componcnt cooling water (CCW)
heat exchanger (Hx)
for maintenanc The available clearance on either end of the CCW Hx would not permit full tube w ithdrawal.
On the and closest to the Turbine Building was a concrete block wall that had replaced a roll up door several years ag The licensee decided to remove the block wail and move the RCA out into the Turb Building about 20 fee The licensee constructed a U shaped wire mesh control wall around the RCA in the Turbine Buildin The walls Were lined with heavy plasti Following completion of the maintenance, the RCA was cleaned and removed and the shield wall was reconstructe The inspector determined thrcugh interviews with licensee personnel and reviews of radiological surveys that the licensee had not spread any radioactive coniaticn in the Turbine Building while the temporary RCA was ther The inspector surveyed the area after the outage when the shield wall was back in plac The inspector detected 30 cpm with a thin window GM and 16 uR/hr with another portable survey instrumen These are typical background radiaticr levels and close to what was reporte Licensee personnel reported that there had not been any radiological events or personnel contamirations resulting from the RCA extensio No violations or deviations were identifie.
