Radiation Protection and Chemistrv Staff and Training a.
StaffLevel
.
Previous inspections of Radiation Protection and Chemistry
'
staffing, during September,1976 and February,1977, indicated that at those times the respective totals were 18 and 25 (for both Units 1 and 2 - Inspections Nos. 320/76-13 and 320/77-07),
and that Section 9 of the FSAR stated that a total staff of 38 would be provided when Unit 2 becomes operational.
Review during this' inspection indicated that the total staff was 28, and in addition, there are openings for four Radiation Protection Technician trainees and a Health Physics Engineer (offer outstanding).
The inspector reviewed the FSAR statement with the licensee representative, and the licensee representative stated that proper disposition is being made of this matter (Paragraph 8).
This matter wilt be reviewed at the next inspection (76-13-02).
b.
FSAR Documentation of Oroanization and Resumes The inspector noted that several personnel whose resumes were included in the FSAR documentation had left the Radiation Protection' and Chemistry staff, and their replacements were not included in the FSAR documentation.
In addition, the organization includ'es organizational levels that are not shown in the FSAR.

Technicians, Nuclear (5)
Technicians (10*)
Technician Trainees (5)
- Four of these technicians are. probationary Technicians, Nuclear.
In addition to the above personnel, there are licensed Senior Reactor Operators and Reactor Operators, as well as nuclear plant operators who are qualified to perform surveys and self-monitoring under specified limited circumstances, in coordina, tion with the Radiation Protection staff.
Based on the above information, the inspector found that the organization appeared to be acceptable and in accordance with the FSAR and the proposed Technical Specifications.
d.
Trainino The licensee representative stated that all TMI personnel were periodically appraised using a detailed form, that records were maintained of appraisals and of the completion of training and qualification, and that the technician trainees were assigned initially to six weeks of onsite lectures and in-house training and then to two weeks of offsite (B&W) chemistry training.

- The licensee representative stated that qualification as a technician involved the completion of the initial training and written examinations as well as verification of satis-factory job performance, and that the subsequent qualification as a nuclear technician included a recorded evaluation of satisfactory performance and knowledge of each of the addi-tional duties of this job classification.
The inspector reviewed records of training completion, train-ing curricular, and training schedules and found, based on the above information, that the radiation protection training appeared to be acceptable.

3.
Radioloaical Protection Procedures
,
The inspector reviewed the procedures and noted that three pro-cedures listed below had not been issued at the time of the inspection, and otherwise the procedures appeared to have been reviewed, approved by the PORC, and issued for use in TMI-2 activities.
Procedures Still to be Issued (TMI-2)
1621.2 Releasing Radioactive Liquid Waste
--
1622.2 Releasing Radioactive Gaseous Waste
--
1629.2 Health Physics Procedure for Liquid Waste Disposal *
--
- Approved, awaiting typing and distribution The licensee representative stated that these procedures will be
-
completed by the end of September,1977.
-
No other problems with procedures were identified.
Based on the above information, the inspector found that the radiation protection procedure status for Unit 2 appeared to be acceptable.
(76-13-01)
4.
Status of Precoerational Test and Surveillance Procedures for Bioloaical Shieldina, Radiation Monitorina Systems, and Effluent Monitorino Systems The inspector reviewed the following procedures for applicability to the facility, conformance with FSAR design objectives, and tech-nical and administrative adequacy to verify the operability of these systems.

5.
Observation of Facility Status The inspector toured the facility to observe the status of the area radia. tion monitors, liquid and gaseous waste systems and system radiation monitors, effluent monitors, and ventilatica systems and filters.
The inspector observed that the major components were in place but there were numerous connections, openings, block shield walls, and small parts being finished up throughout the auxiliary building.
Apparently the detectors had not been installed on two area radiation monitors and none of the radiation monitors were turned on and operat-
-
ing. None of the ventilation filters had been installed and workers were finishing up jobs (working) inside the ventilation ductwork.
None of the gaseous waste system appeared to be finished, and the liquid and gaseous waste system sample lines and radiation monitor circulating lines generally were not finished.
The licensee representative stated that the above systems had not yet been turned over for preoperational functional / testing but several (water) subsystems in the auxiliary building were under~
test during the inspection, and all preoperational tests were scheduled to be finished by October 15, 1977, even though hydro-testing of the reactor vessel (a schedule critical path item) was t
delayed by a leak at the vessel head seal-ring.

The inspector found that further inspection ' effort appeared to be necessary to verify the system calibrations and preoperable testing at appropriate times.
No items of noncompliance were identified by these tours of the facility.

.
The licensee representative stated that three portable continuous air monitors were in the facility but not in use at that time.
_
The licensee representative stTted that the quantities of protective clothing, self-reader dosimeters, and TLD badges available following the TMI-1 refueling made it unnecessary to order such items as these, which will be shared, until another outage is due at which time orders will be placed as needed.
The inspector found that further inspection effort at an appropriate time appeared to be necessary to verify the routine calibration of the portable survey instruments.

Respiratory Protec tion Prearam t tion program indicated that it Review of the TMI spiratory oro ec conforms to the req. rements and guidance of 10 CFR 20.103 " Exposure
- entrations of radioactive materials in air in of individuals to ct restricted areas," R iatory Guide 8.15 "Acceotable Programs for and WASH-1287 " Manual of Respiratory Pro-Respiratory Protect *
tection Against Air x,e Radioactive Materials" except that Metro-politan Edison Conge / employees are not specifically evaluated as to their physical and psychological fitness for work requiring the use of respiratory protection factors, and the contractor employees are not required to pass physical examinations or psychological fitness evaluations as prerequisites for such work.
The inspector noted, and the licensee representative acknowledged, that 10 CFR 20.103(f) requires the licensee to bring his respira-tory protective program into conformance with the above require-ments by December 30, 1977.
.
The inspector had no further questions on this item at this time.
I 8.
Exit Interview The inspector reviewed the scope and the findings of the inspection with the licensee representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on August 1,1977.
The licensee representative stated that updated organization, staffing and resume information had been prepared for timely FSAR submission and that staffing is being reviewed at the corporate level.
.
The licensee representative stated that their scheduling informa-tion would continue to remain available for timely arrangements by NRC to witness calibrations and tests. The licensee representatives stated that they were particularly anxious to avoid the unnecessary generation of NRC open or outstanding items, deviations, and defi-ciencies resulting in PORC reviexs, and that the PORC workload was a significant consideration at this time.
