a.
Hand and Foot Monitor Ca.11brations Health Physics Procedure (HP) 1749 is Section 5.1, by reference to Figure 1749-1, requires the hand and fcot =onitors to be cali-brated during March, June, September and Eecember.
HP 1757
" Operation and Calibration of the Eberline EFM-3" in Section 5.6 requires application of a dated and initialed calibration sticker and also a record of the calibration in the instrument calibration book on completion of the calibration of the hand and foot monitor.
Observation of the calibration stickers and a subsequent review of the calibration records showed that hand and foot monitors, Serial Nos. 121 and 157, were in use on March 15, 1976 and that the most recent calibration was conducted on October 15, 1976, for each monitor. The inspector noted that the required date for recalibration was December, 1975, as described above.
,
The inspector identified this as an item of noncompliance.
The two instruments were calibrated on March 16, 1976.
Inspection of the instru=ent calibrction book and the instrument division
'
records of the calibrations did not indicate that any problem remained as of March 17, 1976. The licensee's representative stated that the scheduling would be reviewed with the purpose of preventing any recurrence of calibration problems.
b.
Personnel Dosimeter Calibration Checks and Leak Testing Procedure HP 1772 " Dosimeter Calibration and Leak Test" requires that dosimeter calibration and leak tests be recorded and all
,
unacceptable dosimeters be repaired or replaced.
HP 1749 sche-dules tests on semiannual intervals for dosimeters with Serial Nos. I to 300.
~~
Inspection of dosimeter calibration and leak testing records showed that none of a sample of 11 personnel dosimeters had ser-ial numbers between 1 and 300, and none had been checked for calibration or leakage on site.
The sa=ple included nine dosi-meters selected frem the rack where the offshift personnel left their assigned film badges and dosimeters on March 17, 1976, and the two desi=eters assigned to the inspector and an escort as of that date.
The licensee's representatives stated that manufacturer's certi-fications were required for all dosimeters purchased, and no other acceptance test was required before issuing a dosi=eter for use on site.
The licensee's representative stated that hereafter all personnel desi=eters in use will be scheduled for checks of calibration and leakage on a semiannual interval.

i The licensee's representative infor=ed the inspector by telephonc on April 15, 1976, that all of the dosimeters in use have been calibrated and leak tested since March 17, 1976; that calibration stickers are being used to control the issuance of dosimeters; and l
that procedure uP 1749 has been revised to require that only those dosimeters having current calibrations =ay be issued for use.
i This item will be examined on a subsequent inspection.
The inspec-tor has no further questions on this item at this time.

5.
gealth Phy' sics Staf fing I
Part of the inspection effort was to determine the adequacy of health
'
,
!,
physics staffing during the outage.
A review of the licensee's health physics organization was performed
,
during March 12-14, 1975 (IE Report No. 50-289/75-06).
Since that time no significant changes have occurred in the health physics staff.
i Several individuals were obtained on either a consulting or a contract
'
basis during the outage to supple =ent the TMI staff.
These included
,
l
'
personnel who assist the TM1 health physics supervisor and health physics technicians with such matters as collecting and distributing protective clothing and equipment, recording exposure data, assisting with access cot trol, conducting whole body counts, and bicassay sam-l ple collection.
,
I
^
Additional personnel were being processed at the time of the inspec-tion because of an added workload. The licensee revie".d each candi-date's resu=a and conducted an interview before acceptzng him.
Candi-dates who did not meet the licensee's requirements were turned down.
.
.
l Observation during tours of the facility did not identify any short-age of available personnel.
6.
Supolies
.
Part of the inspection effort was to determine the adequacy of supplies of instruments, protective clothing, and respiratory protection equip-ment.
Observrtion during tours of the facility did not identify any shortage of supplies.

Exposure and Contamination Controls, and Air Samoling i
Part of the inspection effort was to verify that exposures and contam-ination were controlled and that air concentrations were monitored for protection of personnel in compliance with requirements of 10 CFR 20.
,
Work in progress on RWP's was observed.
Access to radiation areas was inspected. Posting of controlled areas was observed during tours of the facility.
Records of air sampling were reviewed and discussed.
The licensee's evaluation of inhalation exposures, and subsequent corrective action,
were reviewed. No problems were identified.
,
8.
Surveys
.
Part of the inspection effort was to determine the licensee's compliance
{
with the requirement of 10 CFR 20.201 to make surveys as necessary to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.
,
..
The inspector reviewed current survey records and levels recorded on
.
'
'
RWP's and, on a tour of the facility, observed measurements performed by the licensce's representative as requested by the inspector for
,
verification of the survey results.
Exact confirmation was obtained at each point checked.
,
No problems were identified.
I
9.
Posted Information Recuired by 10 CTR 19.11 Part of the inspection effort was to verify that the licensee posted information required by 10 CFR 19.11.
The posted information was inspected and later it was discussed with the licensee.
No problems were identified.'
