The inspector reviewed the approved health physics radwaste shipping procedure and veri-fied that activity of radwaste shipments were being calculated by an approved method.
(Closed) (79-FI-05) - Inspection for service air contamination, followup on Information Notice 79-08. The inspector reviewed records indicating that the licensee received Information Notice 79-08 and routed it to appropriate personnel for their comments. The technical area covered by the notice was inspected during the health physics appraisal inspection (Report No. 80-06).
The inspector had no further questions or comments.
(Closed) 80-06-05) - Indepth performance audits. The inspector reviewed QC, QA, and internal health physics audits performed within the last year of health physics activities.
Based on these reviews and discussions with licensee representatives, the inspector concluded that adequate audits of onsite health physics activities were being conducted.
(Closed) (80-06-07) - Lack of technical depth.
The inspector reviewed.
personnel records of of fsite technical training attended by management level HP staff members.
The inspector also discussed with licensee representa-tives the technical qualifications of newly hired health physics personnel and concluded that the department appears to have an adequate amount of technical depth.
(Closed) (80-06-10) - Revise procedures.
The inspector discussed with a licensee representative the bases for the recommendations to modify certain site health physics procedures.
Based on these discussions and a review of Procedures HP-108, HP-10C, HP-13A, HP-13C, HP-14E, HP-34, HP-41, HP-44, HP-60, HP-62, HP-65, and HP-70, the inspector concluded that the recommended changes have been made, were not applicable, or the procedure has been deleted. No violations or deviations were found.
(Closed) (80-06-16) - Dose assessment for personnel contamination.
The inspector reviewed Procedure HP-72, " Determination of Dose to the Skin From Fixed Skin Contamination", and concluded that it establishes a method to adequately determine skin doses from fixed skin contamination.
The inspector had no further questions.

(Closed) (80 '-19) - Air sample results for pressurizer cubicle.
The inspector revi ad logs of air sample results in containment and had no further questions regarding pressurizer cubicle air samples. The inspector, however, reminded the licensee that during specific work, breathing zone air samples are required to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 20.103 and can best be attained by using a high volume grab si.mpler.
(Closed) (81-08-05) PAB 80-4 weakness:
PARA 3.8.(2).(d). Health Physics Manual and procedures do not address programs for complying with 10 CFR 19.12 instruction requirements.
The inspector interviewed health physics training personnel and reviewed training documents and procedures.
The licensee's training progran instructs radiation workers in the requirements of 10 CFR 19.12.
No violations or deviations were identified.
The inspector had no further questions.
6.
IE Bulletins and Circulars (Closed) (79-BU-19) - Packaging of low-level radioactive waste for transport and burial.
This item was partially reviewed in Inspection Reports 79-20 and 80-06. During this inspection, the licensee's written response to the bulletin was reviewed. The inspector observed that appropriate training was conducted and is scheduled to be conducted periodically. The inspector had no further questions.
.
(Closed) (80-BU-10) - Contamination of nonradioactive systems and resulting potential for unmonitored, uncontrolled release of radioactivity to environ-ment.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's response to this bulletin.
Systems that could have potentially become radioactive and cause uncon-trolled, unmonitored releases of radioactive material have been identified and a monitoring program has been established to ensure that no unmonitored radioactive release occurs. The inspector had no further questions.
(Closed) (80-CI-14) - Radioactive contamination of plant demineralized water system and resultant internal contamination of personnel.
The inspector verified that the licensee had received IE Circular 80-14 and routed it to appropriate personnel for comments.
The inspector noted that control of the demineralized water system at this facility is such that internal contamination of personnel as a result of its use is unlikely.
(Closed) (81-CI-07) - Control of radioactively contaminated material. The inspector verified that the licensee had received IE Circular 81-07 and routed it to appropriate personnel for comments. The inspector noted that
liquid scintillation portal monitors have been ordered for the radiation control area exits and will be installed in the near future. The inspector stated that these monitors are not replacements for good whole body frisking but must be used in conjunction with good frisking techniques. The licensee was reminded that contamination control is a continuous inspection item for the NRC health physics inspection progra *

7.
Radwaste Shipping The inspector reviewed radwaste shipping records for 1981 and 1982.
Twenty-nine waste shipments were made in 1931 totaling 8703 cubic feet containing 506 curies of radioactive material.
Low specific activity material accounted for 8036 cubic feet and 6.12 curies of the total.
Spent resins accounted for 654 cubic feet and 480 curies of radioactive material.
At the time of the inspection, four radwaste shipments had been made in 1982. No violations of NRC or DOT regulations were identified.
8.
Unit 2 Preoperation Inspection The inspector reviewed the health physics organization and staffing, a.
facilities layout, and instrumentation and equipment to determine their adequacy for compliance with regulatory requirements and FSAR commit-ments. A licensee representative scated that 11 additional health physics positions have been authorized due to the anticipated operation of Unit 2.
Although a total of approximately 40 health physics staff members appears to be less than normal for a two-unit site, the inspec-tor acknowledged that many fu1ctions considered at other facilities as health physics activities are maintained by the Chemistry Department at St. Lucie. The combined staffing plan for chemistry and health physics appears to be adequate. However, the inspector stated that hiring must begin promptly if an adequately trained staf f is to be avai'lable by fuel load.
b.
The inspector accompanied by licensee representatives toured the Unit 2 facility and evaluated the location and layout of inplant facilities related to radiological protection. A licensee representative stated that many operations will be shared with and controlled by Unit 1 (e.g., tool decontamination, radwaste shipping, laundry, etc.).
The inspector stated that there appeared to be a lack of an adequate number of electrical outlets around the plant for friskers.
A licensee representative stated that it would be best to backfit these in after fuel load. The inspector also noted that the spent resin fill area is very similar to Unit I requiring resin liners, with no weather protec-tion, to be filled outside using flexible hoses.
A licensee recre-sentative stated that engineering modifications have been studied to improve this operation and design changes will be discussed for both units at a later time.
,
c.
The inspector reviewed planned instrumentation and equipment programs to determine that they are consistent with the commitments in the FSAR.
The licensee's program wili be identical to that of Unit 1.
The inspector had no further questions concerning instrumentation and equipment programs for Unit 2.
The inspector noted that the fi<ed instrumentation system will be a state-of-art computer based system
