Licensee-personnel stressed their conclusion that a lack of *management controls had led to a breakdown in the radiation protection program and that many steps had been taken to correct the proble The actions taken to improve the program included organization and staffing changes in the Health Physics organization at the site, implementation of the company's radiation protection plan, upgrading the training given to the HP staff, and implementation of a radiological assessment progra The licensee indicated that most of the actions outlined had been completed and that those remaining would be completed by the end of the yea Some of the acti ens or programs that had been
_initiated, even though considered complete*for purposes of followup to previous*
NRG inspections, would continue such as the assessment function performed by members of the corporate staf Following the presentation, the licensee conducted a tour of the radiologically controlled area (RCA).
The reclamation of previously contaminated areas and the orderliness of the radioactive material storage areas were stressed during the tou *
NRC representatives observed that VEPCO had made improvements during the past four months and that action had been taken to complete the majority of the commitments made to the NR The NRC stated that VEPCO's major task would be to continue to ensure that management was committed to the implementation of the radiation protection program and that all station personnel knew of and were convinced of the commitmen ~-**-- --* -** -* - **-*--*,. *-*--*.
