i Manacement Interview
-
The following items were discussed with Mr. Wise and Mr. Herbein at the conclusion of the inspection on September 22, 1972:
A.
Health Physics and Chemistry Procedures The inspector made note of an apparent reluctance to provide infor=ation on status of procedures and availability of completed procedures.

Wise stated that current considerat#ons relative to changes in for-9, cat and manual orientation were recponsible for this reluctance.
Wise further stated that decisions on these matters would be made in the very near future. (See Paragraph 8)
B.
Quality Control (Radiochemistrv)
Mr. Wise stated that a program would be estcblished and documented by procedure.
(See Paragraph 9)
-
C.
Radiation Monitoring Systems (Calibration)
-
Mr. Wise stated that the systems had been calibrated prior to installa-tion and that the calibration would be verified when the systems are placed in service.
(See Paragraph 10)
D.
Linc Loss Determinations (Primarv Vent Monitors)
Mr. Wise stated that line loss determinations would be made when in-stallation was cceplete.
The installation would also have ischinetic sampling capabilitier.
(See Paragraph 11)
.
E.
Bioassav Program Mr. Wis'e stated that whole body counting was not being considered this time, but a routine selective program was being considered.

Radiation Protection and Chemistrv Procedures

Mr. Herbein described the current philosophy and app'rcach to for=ulating That is to say, radiation protection procedures as one of incorporation.

of procedures was yet available that would identify subject or 1cca-tion of procedures.
It was noted that chemistry procedures were more oriented toward the chemistry program. An index, noted as not A tenta-being complete by the chamistry supervisor, was available.
Mr. Wise tive completion date has been established as January 1973.
stated that current philosophy on procedures was under consideration by the review ccomittees (PORC and GORB). and a resolution would be forthecoing in rSe near future.
Mr. Wise further stated that the ques-
tion of procedur orientation.would be taken to the review cccmittees.
In response to the inspector's comments on an apparent reluctance to make completed procedures available, Mr. Wise stated that this reluc-tance was generated by the fact that procedure philosophy was cur-rently under study, and suggested that after this was resolved pro-cedures would be readily available as they are completed.

Radiation Monitorine Systems (Calibration)
The process radiation monitors reportedly have been calibrated at the manuf acturers plant site. The calibration was acccmplished as a joint venture with Ihree Mile Island personnel in participation.
The calibration procedures, as described by Herbein, included the use of multiple known concentrations of radioactive liquids and gases to determine response, sensitivity and applicable curves.
Calibration data has been documented but was not yet'available for review.
In response to questions for verifying calibration, after installation at the reactor site, Herbein stated that these were currently under study, and at the moment, a decision had not been made as to method.
Mr. Wise stated that a procedure for calibration verification would be developed, 11.
Line Loss Determinations (Pr'imarv Vent Monitor)
Herbein stated that sample line and sarpling point had not yet been finalized, however, it would be consistent with providing capabil-ities for isokinetic sampling.
Guidance for installation would be as defined in ANSI, N13.1-1969 document.
The completed installation
would also be evaluated for line losses, according to Herbein.
Mr.
Wise confirmed this and stated that determinations would be documen-ted.
12.
Bioassav ProRram In response to questions by the inspector with respect to a bio-assay program, Herbein stated that this had not yet been firmed
'
up.
He stated that they tentatively were thinking in terms of a routine urinalysis program and a whole body count of selected re-presentative individuals. At this point in time they were not con-templating a program to establish baseline whole body count data on station personnel.
He stated that whole body counting would be ac-complished on individuals involved in suspected exposures to excess-ive air concentrations.
The inspector stated that whole body counting was a good method to measure the effectiveness of their air sampling and internal exposure control programs. Mr. Wise stated that they will further review this area.
