- Attended exit interview Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on April 25, 1980 with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 abov Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-9-1; 281/79-10-1) Failure to lock high radiation area The inspector reviewed the licensees response of May 15, 1979 and discussed high radiation area locks and key control with health physics representative The inspector also discussed diciplinary actions currently used when high radiation area gates are found unlocked with the Health Physics Superviso The inspector had no further questions in this are (Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-9-2; 280/79-10-2). Failure to post and barricade high radiation area The inspector reviewed the licensees response of May 15, 1979 to this item and had no question The inspector toured the auxiliary building on April 16 and found no unposted high radiation area c..
(Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-9-3; 281/79-10-3) Failure to label radioactive material container The inspector reviewed the licensee responses of May 29, 1979 to this item and had no question The inspector verified Assistant Health Physics Supervisors are touring the restricted controlled area daily to assure complianc The inspector noted these tours, in addition to assuring proper labeling of containers, will.also help assure proper posting and control of
-2-radiation and high radiation areas, assure adhereance to procedural requirements, and also help identify possible problem area (Closed) Noncompliance (281/79-10-5) Use of lead shielding on seismic pipin The inspector reviewed the licensees response of May 15, 1979 and had no question This response stated seismic analysis would be required prior to using shielding on any seismic system Since the initial response, a generic analysis, performed by a contractor, identifying quantity of lead v pipe diameter and unsupported span has been generate The use of this data and required reviews have been incorporated into a Health Physics Procedure HP-3.13, "Guidelines for the Implementation of an ALARA Program at Surry Power Station".
The inspector reviewed the January 16, 1980 revision of HP-3.13 and had no further question (Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-9-6) Failure to post containment as an airborne radioactivity are The inspector verified Unit 1 containment is posted as an airborne radioactivity area on April 17, 198 The inspector had no further question (Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-18~03; 281/79-26-03) Failure to post a radiation are The inspector reviewed the licensee's response of May 31, 1979, and conducted an independent dose rate surveys on April 15, 16, and 1 No unpasted radiation areas were foun The inspector had no further question (Closed) Noncompliance (281/79-29-01) Worker overexposur The licen-see's corrective actions are discussed in paragraph (Closed) Noncompliance (281/79-29-02) Inadequate usrve The licen-see's corrective actions are discussed in paragraph (Closed) Noncompliance (281/79-29-03) Failure to provide a radiation survey instrument to worker in a high radiation are The licensee's corrective actions are discussed further in paragraph (Closed) Noncompliance (281/79-29-04) Failure to make 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> written repor The inspector revi~wed the licensees corrective actions discussed in their response of September 4, 1979 and had no question (Closed) Noncompliance (281/79-29-05) Falilure to follow procedure The licensee's corrective actions are discussed in paragraph.
(Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-32-01; 281/79-50-01) Failure to provide a radiation survey instrument to workers in a high radiation are licensee's corrective actions are discussed in paragraph (Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-32-02; 281/79-50-02) Incorrect logging of RWP number.with respirator issue record The inspector reviewed
f-3-the licensees response of July 26, 197 The inspect~r verified procedural changes, incorporating use of a respirator issue ticket, have been implemente The inspector had no further question (Closed) Noncompliance (280/79-64-01; 281/79-84-01) Inadequate High Radiation area lock The inspector examined seventeen newly installed high radiation gates and verified the lock mechanisms were not readily opened without a ke The inspector had no further question.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspectio.
Other Followup Items (Closed) High Radiation Levels during Fuel Transfer (280;281/78-27-03)
The inspector reviewed surveys conducted during fuel transfer Localized high levels of radiation were identified streaming through gaps between shield blocks and containment wall The licensee is investigating the poss1bility of additional shielding and, in the meantime, posting health physics technicians to provide direct access control to the identified area (Closed) Saturation of G.M. tube process monitors (280;281/78-27-04).
The problem of G.M. tube saturation during a high level release has been corrected by the installation of high range effluent monitor Installation of the monitors was requested based on the review of events at Three Mile Islan (Closed) Pressure in SCBA cylinders ready for use (280/79-9-08; 281/79-10-6).
The inspector examined all cylinders ready for use on April 17 and noted no cylinders with pressure below the 1800 psi procedural limi An Assistant Health Physics Supervisor stated examination of cylinder pressures is performed normally an a daily basi The inspector had no further question.
Health Physics Control,Desk In response to several items of noncompliance and other concerns relating to use of radiation work permits (see paragraph 3), the licensee implemented use of a control point desk separate from the normal dosimeter issue1control poin This desk is manned by a health physics technician who is to ':asJ;uF~
that all personnel entering the restricted controlled area are familiar with RWP requirements, have proper dosimetry, survey instruments have been issued to workers entering high radiation area, and assure control require-ments for access through high radiation area gates are me The requirements and purpose of this "RWP-Service Desk" are discussed in section 2.1 of the Health Physics Manua T4e inspector reviewed this procedure addressing the RWP system, anq had no further questions concerning the RWP service des J

~4-Steam Generator Shipment The inspector reviewed activities concerning preparation of one steam
'generator, from the Unit 2 replacement project, for shipment to Battelle Pacific Northwest Laborator The inspector reviewed procedures and analyses in Engineering Task Assignment (ETA) No. 7000 The inspector reviewed surveys of radiation levels associated with the "used" gerierato Radiation levels of several hundred mrem/hr was measured on contact with the sides and a maximum of 800 mrem/hr was measured on contact wit the steel plate covering the upper end of the generato The inspector verified compliance with RWP and.plant procedural requirements concerning dosimetry posting, et No items of noncompliance or concerns were identifie The inspector toured the barge that was used to ship the steam gener-ator and noted installed shielding of 10 11: thick concrete wall In addition, a second 2" steel plate was ready to be welded to the upper end of the generator with I-beam cross-members to provide additional shielding and structural rigidity. It was also planned to install a chain link fence around the generator to limit access to the immediate area near the generator on the barg The inspector had no questions concerning the shipment and was informed that the barge left the site on April 20, 1980.
