• F. Christianson, Senior Resident Inspector, NRC P. Gwynn, Resident Inspector, NRC The inspector also contacted other licensee personnel, including Rad / Chem Technicians, during the inspectio * Denotes those present at the exit meetin . General This inspection, which began at about 11:00 a.m. on June 14, 1982, was conducted to review the radiation protection program including, organiza-tion, training, procedures, instruments and equipment; adherence to require-ments of Byproduct Materials License No. 34-07251-04; corrective actions of items identified during previous inspection; and progress made in preopera-tional testing. Tours were made of the reactor, radwaste, auxiliary, and turbine buildings to observe construction progress on selected systems and component . Open Items (Closed) Open Item (358/79-18-01): Concerning the need to provide a method for monitoring airborne radioactive materials in the laundry. The licensee intends to install and operate a constant air monitor in the laundr (Closed) Open Item (358/79-18-02): Concerning the need to provide effluent monitoring capability for the SBGT system. The licensee intends to monitor this effluent pathway in accordance with NUREG-073 (Closed) Open Item (358/80-02-01): Concerning training of operators, and others permitted to do self-monitoring, in the use of portable survey in-struments.

(0 pen) Open Item (358/81-10-02): Concerning the need to revise two radia-tion protection procedures concerning the respiratory protection progra No problems were noted during the inspector's review of revised procedure RC.RPP.7.101, "Use of Respiratory Protective Equipment." Revision of RC.RPP.2.160 " Bioassay" is in progress and will be reviewed during a future inspectio . Radiation / Chemistry Organization Since previously reported (358/80-02), the following Rad / Chem related organi-zational changes have been mad , As part of a station management reorganization, the title Rad / Chem i Engineer has been changed to Superintendent, Radcontrol and Chemistry Division. This Superintendent, along with four other Division Superin-tendents, now reports directly to the Station Manager. The Radeontrol 1 and Chemistry Division now includes station chemistry, radiation pro-tection, radwaste, and building service A Radiation Protection Specialist position has been adde J. Stieritz, l'

former Senior Rad / Chem Technician, has been promoted to the new posi-tio A Radwaste Engineer position has been added and filled.

There are currently 23 Rad / Chem Technicians (13 Senior Technicians, 7 Tech-

,

nicians, and 3 Junior Technicians). Senior Rad / Chem Technicians are con-sidered by the licensee to be ANSI N18.1-1971 qualified. The inspector will review qualifications during a future inspection.

3 5. Rad / Chem Technicians (RCT) Training The RCT training program remains as previously reported (50-358/80-02).

l The licensee has sent, or is scheduled to send, all senior RCTs who have not had significant previous operational experience to an operating reactor facility to observe and participate in an operational Rad / Chem program.

i The operational experience is for about five weeks and usually at a BWR l during refuelin The RCT training program appears to be very goo . Radiation Protection Procedures Review of the following selected new and revised radiation protection pro-cedures and station administrative directives was performed. No significant problems were noted during review of the following procedure R0. SAD.01 Revision 1 Radwaste Management Program TR. SAD.05 Revision 0 Radiological Self-Monitoring Training Program I

Minor problems were noted during review of the following procedures. The licensee agreed to make needed correction R0. SAD.02 Revision 0 Dry Waste Segregation and Controls RP. SAD.05 Revision 0 Occupational Radiation Exposure Controls RC.RPP.S.110-4 Revision 2 Calibration of Eberline HFM-3 Hand and Foot Moni-tor RC.RPP.5.111 Revision 1 Calibration of Eberline PMP 42 Portal Monitor 7. Solid Radwaste The inspector discussed with the licensee the desirability of performing a management controlled audit of radwaste packaging and shipping before power operation. The licensee stated that they would perform an audit, using IE Bulletin 79-19 " Packaging of Low-Level Radioactive Waste for Transport and Burial" as audit criteria, before power operatio (358/82-09-01)

8. Preoperational Testing None of the remaining liquid processing and monitoring, gaseous monitoring, or ventilation preoperational tests that are assigned to this inspector were ready for revie . Byproduct Materials License No. 34-07251-04 Licensee adherence to regulatory requirements imposed pursuant to Byproduct Materials License No. 34-07251-04 was reviewed. The license permits pos-session and use of material in any form having an atomic number from 1 to 83 (not to exceed 2 millicuries per nuclide and 1 curie total) and also permits the possession and use of specified sealed source The inspector observed licensee provisions for storage and use of licensed material and checked material on hand against possession limit Sources, except for sealed sources housed in the Eberline Model 1000 Gamma Calibra-tor, are stored in locked shielded cabinets or storage pigs, or are within the locked and posted instrument calibration facility.

include receipt, inventory, Icak test of sealed sources, portable survey instruraent calibrations, and personal monitoring result On June 14, 1982, the licensee received a 47.4 millicurie Kr-85 source which was sent by Eberline Instrument Corporation, Santa Fe, New Mexico, for use in gaseous effluent monitor calibration. The licensee's byproduct materials license permits possession of ten mil 11 curies of Kr-8 The 11-censee, who had not ordered the radioactive material, immediately reported the matter to NRC Region III; has requested, application dated June 14, 1982, a license amendment to authorize possession; and is keeping the material in locked storage. The inspector notified NRC Region IV of the shipmen No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie . Exit Meeting The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in Section 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on June 17, 1982. The inspector summarized the scope and findings of the inspectio In response to the inspector's comments, the licensee stated that a manage-l ment controlled audit, using IE Bulletin 79-19 as part of the audit criteria,

would be performed before power operatio (Section 7)
