Docket Nos.
50-387 50-388 Mr. Harold Senior Uice President - Nuclear Pennsylvania Power and Light Company 2 North Ninth Street Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101
Dear Mr. Keiser:
Subject:
Susquehanna Steam Electric Station ALARARecognition Program Thank you for your September 3, 1991, letter that provided clarification of existing Pennsylvania Power and Light Company ALARAincentive programs.
We also appreciate your actions in reemphasizing the ALARAprinciples as company priorities to your Nuclear Department management personnel.
We do not doubt your sincerity regarding this subject.
The inspection findings contained in Inspection Report 91-03 reflect SSES worker perceptions regarding ALARAincentive programs.
To the majority of the SSES radiation workers that we interviewed, there was no obvious reward or incentive for an ALARA initiative. This has been mentioned before in previous inspection reports from our office where reference has been made to the lack of ALARAconsciousness posters or employee publicity for ALARAjobs well done.
ALARAincentives or recognition programs for workers or ALARAreminder posters were only mentioned as examples that other licensees have successfully used in communicating management's commitment to ALARA. The average worker should believe that valuable ALARAideas have an avenue for consideration, development and implementation into the plant's work methods, which was our main point in the referenced inspection report. It is, of course, not our position to suggest a requirement for any ALARApublicity campaign, but we do feel that you should work to improve employees'nderstanding of management's concern in this area.
Based on your letter, it appears that you are working toward this goal.
