" Attended the exit interview on February 6, 1986.
Additional licensee employees were contacted or interviewed during this inspection.
1.2 NRC Personnel A. Cerne, Senior Resident Inspector 2.0 Purpose The purpose of this preoperational inspection was two-fold.
First, an additional review of the status of the licensee's operational readiness for fuel receipt was conducted.
Second, an update on the degree of readiness of the health physics, radioactive waste, and chemistry depart-ments for future detailed preoperational and start-up inspections was obtained.

3.0 Fuel Receipt The inspector reviewed the implementation and adequacy of radiological controls for fuel receipt with respect to criteria contained in the following:
10 CFR 19.12 " Instructions to Workers"
10 CFR 20, " Standards for Protection Against Radiation"
Special Nuclear Material License (SNM) No. 1963, dated
December 19, 1985.
The evaluation of licensee performance in this area was based on:
ob-servation of fuel receipt activities, discussions with cognizant per-sonnel, and review of documentation.
During the receipt of fuel the following activities / items were observed:
performance of radiological surveys of shipping containers and
transport vehicle presence of the following equipment with current calibration
stickers:
survey meters for alpha and gam.ma radiaticas
counting instruments for alpha and beta radioactivity a
portable area radiation monitor with audible monitor
personnel frisking station
portable air sampler
personnel dosimetry badges and self-reading pocket dosimeters a
control point for entry into the radiologically controlled area a
(RCA) set up for fuel receipt and handling operations radiation work permit (RWP) issued for fuel receipt activities in
the RCA use of barriers and posting to establish the limits of an RCA
During discussions with cognizant personnel, licensee representatives made the following statements:
The general employee training (GET) programs for site personnel and
for radiation workers were established and implemented; all site per-sonnel have not yet received their initial trainin.
.
Majority of H.P. technicians (Operations) meet the selection
criteria in Regulatory Guide 1.8, " Personnel Selection and Training" and ANSI /ANS 3.1-1978, " Selection, Qualification, and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants" for full qualification.
Prior to the initial receipt of fuel, a simulated receipt of new
fuel was conducted.
The following documentation was reviewed:
General employee training manual
Outlines for general employee training and for radiation worker
training Radiation worker training manual (57 Health Physics for Technicians)
General Employee Training-Objectives
Outline for providing accelerated-access training to NRC personnel
Bill of Lading for new fuel received on February 5, 1986
Radiological. receipt surveys for receipt of new fuel
Training / qualification manuals for selected H. P. technicians (Oper-
ations) who performed receipt surveys Calibration records for selected radiological protection instrumen-
tation used during fuel receipt HP Procedure Status Report
The approved Radiation Protection Prcgram Manual
Approved Radiation Protection Standard Operating Procedures
including:
H00951.03, "HP Tech Training and Qualification"
H00955.01, " General Count Room Guidelines"
HD0955.05, " Operation of Portable Rad /Contam Instr."
H00958.02, " Rad & Contamination Survey Techniques" H00958.03, " Personnel Survey & Decontamination Techniques"

procedures addressing:
the issue, control, return, and
evaluation of personnel dosimetry; use of HP instrumentation used during fuel receipt; and calibration of HP instrumenta-tion.
Within the scope of this review, no violations were identified, and, in general, the licensee performed acceptable radiological controls for new fuel receipt.
4.0 Readiness for Preoperational Testing and Operational Preparedness Inspec-tions - Radiological Controls / Update During the previous inspection (50-443/85-28), dates for the licensee's readiness for preoperational inspections in the radiological controls area were obtained.
The inspector reviewed the previously-obtained dates with licensee radiological protection, radioactive waste, and radiological chemistry personnel.
The date for inspection readiness in the area of training and qualification for radiological protection personnel is now late February 1986.
5.
Exit Interview The inspector met with the personnel denoted in Section 1.1 at the con-clusion of the inspection on February 6, 1986.
The scope and findings of the inspection were discussed at that time.
At no time during this in-spection was written material provided to the licensee by the NRC inspec-tor.
