Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings Not inspected.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved item were not identified during this inspection.
5.
Staffing The inspector discussed with a licensee representative the present Chemistry and Health Physics Group staffing level with an eye toward its adequacy to start a second unit. The licensee representative stated that he believed that the present level of 63 people (including 4 supervisors, 8 foremen, 30 technicians, 15 nuclear operators and 5 rad detection men) was adequate to cover an operating plant plus a startup of a second unit. The inspector had no further questions concerning this matter.
6.
Facilities From the available health physics related facilities, the inspector chose the following for detailed consideration:
a.
Decontamination Room. The equipment decontamination room is by design a common facility and, at present, the equipment (a turbulator, four ultrasonic sinks, and various conventional sinks) in this room is

s operational (effluents being routed to the unit one side). A licensee representative stated that present plans call for starting Unit 2 without additions to this facility.
The inspector had no further quutions concerning this facility.
b.
Counting Room The licensee has, in the unit one counting room, two GeLi detectors with associated electronic equipement, two internal proportional counters, one liquid scintillator and a GM system. A licensee repre-sentative stated that although present plans call for obtaining an additional GeLi detector and an additional, more powerful computer, the unit two counting room could be temporarily run with a spare GeLi dete.-tor (making a total of three) and associated equipment presently available; the licensee representative further stated that there are no plans to obtain an additional internal proportional counter or liquid scintillator since the present equipment is not being fully utilized.
The inspector had no further questions concerning this matter.
7.
Fixed Monitoring Equipment
"
a.
Area Radiation Monitors The inspector toured the facility and observed the physical placement of the following Unit 2 area radiation monitors described in FSAR Section 12.1.4:
R-2, containment; R-4, charging pu=p room; R-5, spent fuel Building; R-6, sampling room; R-7, in-core instrumentation area; and R-8, drumming station.
The individual monitors are in various states of readiness with R-5 being the only one presently functional
-
since it is being used to monitor new fuel being stored in the spent fuel pool. The inspector noted that the monitors are the type (GM)
and have the range described in the FSAR. At the request of the inspec-
"
tor, a licensee representative exposed R-5 to a check source and the inspector verified that the local alarm functioned properly.
The inspector had no further questions concerning this matter at that time (80-17-01).
b.
Airborne Radioactivity Monitors The inspector toured the facility and observed the physical placement of the airborne radioactivity monitors (R30, R31, R32, R33), described in FSAR Section 12.2.4, which monitor the ventilation at various levels in the Auxiliary Building. The inspector noted that the monitors are the type described in the FSAR (particulate and gaseous) and that they are in various states of readiness with none presently calibrated.
The inspector had no further questions concerning this matter at that time (80-17-02).

Portable Equipment a.
Radiation Survey Equipment The inspector reviewed with a licensee representative his present inventory of portable radiation suvery equipemnt and compared it against the measurement capabilities descirbed in FSAR Table 12.3-1.
The inspector noted that the licensee possesses measurement capabilities equal to or in excess of the following types described in the FSAR:
G?i and ion chamber exposure rate (high range and low range); alpha and beta gamma count rate (contamination); neutron count rate and dose equivalent rate; and IR and 200mR pocket ionization chambers. The inspector had no further questions coicerning this matter.
b.
Respiratory Protection Equipment The inspector reviewed with a licensee representative his present inventory of respiratory protection equipment, which includes: air purifying full face, 200; pressure demand SCBA's, 30 (with approxi-mately 110 additional air cylinders); pressure demand or cor tinuous.
flow air-line respirators, 60; and hoods and suits, 30. A licensee representative stated that although additional respirators of various sorts will be obtained, he felt that the present inventory was adequate to supply an operating plant as well as one in start-up; the inspector agreed and had no further questions.
9.
Procedures The inspector reviewed with a licensee representative the state of prepara-tion of the Unit 2 health physics procedures and found that almost all health physics procedures were originally written to be common to the two units.
The inspector chose two procedures (FNP-2-RCP-112, Operation of Containment Breathing Air System; FNP-2-RCP-372, Sampling Radiological
,
Process Streams for Analysis) specific to Unit 2 and discussed them with the responsible licensee representative who, in each case, stated that they are not fully developed because these facilities are not yet complete. A licensee representative stated that these procedures plus some minor revi-sions to existing ones are all that is needed to complete the unit 2 health physics procedures. At the time of the exit interview, a licensee representa-tive stated the procedures would be completed prior to startup. The inspector had no further questions concerning procedures (80-17-03).
10.
Access Control Primary access control into Unit 2 is to be accomplished using the present access control point which is by design common to the two units. One other access point being considered for emergency use will be locked and administra-tively controlled.
The inspector had no further questions concerning access control.
