and staffing, staff stability, effectiveness of procedures, anf other management techniques used to implement these programs and experience concerning self-identification and correction of program implementation weaknesse '

The current radiation protecticn staff consists of twenty-seven permanent and eleven contractor operational radiation protection technicians and thirteen permanent and fifteen contractor radiological support technician The RPM stated it is their intent to have thirty-six permanent technicians for radiological cperations and eighteen support technicians for instrument maintenance. Five cf seven Radiation Protection Shift Supervisor positions are currently fille Since October 1986, five professional / technical radiation protection staff members (technicians, engineers, or shift supervisor) terminated and five were internally transferred or promoted to positions outside the radiation protection department. Of the five terminations, three were forced tenninations reportedly due to poor performance or related reasons. Nineteen individuals, primarily technicians, have been hired to fill tDe vacated positions and to partially fill the support technician positions recently created (18 total) to provide radiological support for instrument maintenance. The everall radiation protection staff turnover does not appear excessiv Technical / professional support (non-technician) for the Radiation Protection Group is provided by radiological engineers, an environmental group, and radiological support supervisors. The licensee does not h?ve a

The lack of professional health physics support cuuld have a negative effect on the radiation protection program and appears to be a weaknes This matter was discussed at the exit meeting and will continue to be reviewed during future inspections (0 pen Item 461/87028-01).

No violations or ~ deviations were identifie . Radiation Work Pernit (RWP) Program

'

l To establish radiological controls for routine radiological control area entries and work, the licensee requires the use of Specific and Blanket RWPs. The- Specific RWP is used for performance of specific work activities and is normally apprcved for the length of the job, not to exceed seven days. Blanket RWPs are issued for a period of up to 30 days to cover routine operations, inspections, and surveillance in areas where radio-

! logical conditicas are not expected to change significantly. _ Personnel Time Records _(PTRs) are currently used to document daily exposures for dose tracking, and are initiated for each shift when RWP work is performe SRD exposures are recorded for each ingress cnd egress from RWP area Exposure data from the PTRs are accumulated in daily dose reports compiled by the dosimetry staff. The daily dose reports specify weekly and quarterly dose margins which workers use to track doses and maintain their exposures within limit During the inspectors' review of the kWP system, which included discussions with several station employees, weaknesses were noted in the use of the I system concerning the duration of RWPs and the frequency with which PTRs are generated. The licensee has recognized the need to improve the system l and intends to revise the current RWP system in Oct.ober, 1987. This matter was discussed at the exit meeting and will be reviewed during future inspections. (50-461/87028-02)

No violations or deviations were idenM fie . Radiation Improvement Reports (RIRs) l The inspectors noted that the licensee gives' sufficient management attention and investigation'to. followup of RIRs. S.ection 8.0 of CPS Procedure No. 1919.21. " Radiological Improv'ement Reports," indicates J that RIRs should be submitted when any individual observes a work practice which does not confonn to established radiological control practices, identifies a method to reduce personnel exposure, or identifies a method

' External Exposure Control The inspectors reviewed portions of the licensee's external exposure control and personal dosimetry programs, including adequacy of personnel, procedures, and of the dosimetry program to meet routine and emergency needs; and required records, reports, and notification Temporary contractor support by a Certified Health Physicist was provided to review the technical adequacy of the dosimetry program and assist the new dosimetry supervisor (hired in March 1987).

The inspectors noted improveinents in the operational aspects of the dosimetry group including the development and implementation of a Dosimetry Work Practice Manual. The manual consists of various process procedures for uompleting administrative tasks and streamlining the overali processir.g of dosimetry and related records. Administrative support for tne dosimetry program continues to be provided by three full-time clerk Personal external exposure monituring is provided through the use of thermolutninescent dosimeters (TL0r) and self-reading dosimeters (SPDs).

TLDs are provided and processed by a vendor on a monthly basis; SRDs are maintained by the licensee. The inspectors reviewed the licensee s 3 dosimetry program to verify compliance with NRC requirements (Form NRC-5)

which Specify that whole body doses be datermined using a maximum absort'er thickness of 1000 mg/cm2 when eye protection (/ 700 mg/cm2) is provided and a inaximum of K0 mg/ca2 without eye protection requirements. The licensce's (vendor's) dosimetry program employs the use of a 3-chip TLD system (identical LiF, TLO-100, chips) each shielded by various filter thicknesses. One chip is shielded by a thin filter (10 mg/cm2) and accumulate; both penetrating and most non-penetrating dose compcnent The second and third TLD chips are shielded by 285 mg/cm2 filters and accumulate both whole body dose and high energy beta components that constitute priinarily skin dose. The third chip is not processed for the licensee, but is available for neutron exposure determinations. The station's official record of whole body exposure is determin d and reported through a tissue equivalent absorber of 285 mg/cm (Eye protection is not routinely required for access into radiologically controlled areas). This complies with Form NRC-5 requirements for whole body dose determinatio Vendor dosimetry literature indicates that beta particle dosimetry performance testing (calibration ) is based upon the relatively energetic beta particles from strontium-yttrium-90 (0.55 MeV and 2.27 MeV maximum energics, respectively). This calibration would be appropriate for personnel exposed to beta particles from fission products such as strontium-yttrium-90, cerium-praesodym1um-144, and ruthenium-rhodium-106, but would not be appropriate for most plants where fuel integrity has been

,

maintained because the average beta particle energy is considerably lower

.

-

(approximately 0.3 MeV maximum energies). The licensee indicated that l the vendor has adjusted the beta calibration to conform to the plant's energy spectrum; however, this could not be verified, This matter will l be reviewed further during a future inspection (0 pen item 461/87028-03). ;

Exposure records of plant and contractor personnel were selectively

,

reviewed for 1987 through June. No exposures greater than 10 CFR 20.101 l or the station's quarterly whole body administrative limit of 1.0 rem

'

were noted. The licensee reported a $ tal plant exposure for 1986 of ,

2.42 rem and 20.33 rem for 1987 through May; the full power license was i granted in April 1987. Approximately 1500 individuals are currently

,

issued TLDs. The inspectors selectively reviewed Forms NRC-4 and NRC-5

'

for personnel issued dosimetry in 1987, to date, and termination reports i pursuant to 10 CFR 20.408/20.409 for personnel who terminated in 198 No problems were noted. Issuance of termination reports has been expedited since implementation of the Dosimetry Work Practice Manua No violations or deviations were identifie . Exposure Control Program - Internal .

'

The licensee uses two commercia'ily available chair-type whole body counters. The counters include lung, trunk, and thyroid sodium iodide detectors, which through collimation can selectively count different sections of the torso. Data collected by a spectrum analyzer are i processed to give total activity and percent of MP08. Results are based q on standard man parameters and are not corrected for beight and weight variances. The system will be calibrated yearly; channe) energy and efficiency checks are performed daily and in eccordance with ANSI N343-1978 recommendations, Calibrations and checks are done using vendor supplied phantoms with NBS traceable quantaties of several isotopes. The phantom sources are used to generate efficiency curves as a function of gamma energie Procedures for operating the whole body counter are available et the counting facility. The facility in which the whole body counter is located has shower facilities, and friskers are provide During this inspection, the inspectors discussed methods for converting i whole body count data to MPC 'nours with the whole oody count specialist l (contract employee). No licensee procedure is available for making the i conversion, and the specialist's conversion did not agree with the inspectors'. After further discussion the specialist corrected his i conversion methodology. While other licensee perscnnel onsite were able l to correctly convert whole body count data to MFL-hours, it appears that a licensee procedure addressing the conversion methodology is needed. This matter will be reviewed during a future inspection. (0 pen Item 461/87028-07).

Control of Radioactive Materi_als and Contamination, Surveys, and Monitoring

' The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for control of radicLctive materials and contamination, including adequacy of supply, maintenance, and calibration of contamination survey and monitoring equipment; effectiveness of survey methods, practices, equipment, and procedures; adequacy of review and dissemination of survey data; and effectiveness of methods of control of radioactive and contaminated materia'i The licensee's principal access and egress control point to the radiologically controlled areas (RCA) is located near the entrance to the

.

power block from the service building. Personal frisking and equipment l surveys performed at this control poir.t can be observed from the radiation l

safety office. Another control point has been established in the radwaste and machine shop building; this control poit.: does not normally have radiation protection technicians in attendance. These egress control points use beta-sensitive whole body friskers (WBFs) to identify personal j skin and clothing contamination. Hand held, beta sensitive friskers -

(HP 210s) and gamma sensitive portal monitors (IRTs) are also used to identify personal contamination events, and are located throughout the station and in the gatehouse; these monitoring devices are not as effective as the WBFs for detection c4 low level contamination. The practice of I having controi points which allow significant numbers of personnel to I egress without radiation protection personnel in attendance appears to be !

'

a weakness in the licensoe's contamination control program. This matter was discussed at the exit intervie The licensee has continued to irnplement the radiological housekeeping and

.

contamination control program as part of the station ALARA program. A )

l contaminated area and decontamination schedule is issued daily to the i Plant Manager and the radwaste department assigns contract workers to l implement the program. The effectiveness of the licensee's contamination l control program is evidenced by the relatively small total p3 ant square ]

footage controlled as contaminated area ,

During this inspectica, it was rioted that tygon tubing was used in several l areas to control valve and pipe leakage. The inspector cauticned the licensee about the continued use of this practict and stated that other stations which have used this method to control contamination and allcw j the practice to continue without a permanent fix of the leaking systems ,

have encountered significant contamination control nroblems. This matter

'

was discussed at the exit intervie ]

Hot particles have been identified at several fac'lities and found to consist predominantly of nanocurie to microcurie quantities of cobalt-6 l If these particles migrate onto workers or their clothin'g, localized skin i or extremity dose equivalents can be as much as several rem. Historic data shows that the number of particles increase when BWR primary systems are opered, with particles concentrated around the drywell entrance and on the refuel floor. Thus far, the licensee has not developed a program for identifying / quantifying hot particles. In doing so, consideration should i

r .

,

i

.

'

be given to methods for identifying and reducing transport of the particles

,

and thereby minimizing personnel contamination occurrences, to systematic methods to identify and quantify the particles on personnel and clothing, and to method (s) to calculate dose equivalents to the skin. This matter was discussed at the exit meetin No violations or deviations were identifie . Facilities and Equipment The inspectors toured selected areas of the plant related to radiation- .)

protection and redwaste including access control areas, decontamination 1 facilities, whole body count room, radwaste building, and various office l areas. The licensee appears to have sufficient space to adequately conduct i cperations and an adequate supply of portable survey instruments, air samplers, protective clothing, and personal dosimeters. Numerous storage areas for protective clothing were noted throughout the plant.

l The licensee reported that respirator and prctective clothing cleaning I

equipment is operating satisfactorily and indicated they plan to purchase a laundry monitor to improve PC frisking activitie No violations or deviations were identifie . ALARA The ALARA committee continues to function as intended, ALARA goals have  !

been developed to limit total person-rem, number of persons entering RWP l areas, personal and clothing contamination events, areas controlled as i contaminated, number of radwaste shipments, and gaseous and liquid  !

effluent releases. The committee has identified a needifor better water management controls and intends to improve in this are j The new ALARA coordinator was a former Radiation Protection Shift Supervisor and reports to the Radiation Protection 0 apartment. The coordinator participates in all stages of planning for maintenance outages to ensure radiological considerations have been properly incorporate No violations or deviations were identified, I ?. . Audits and Appraisals The inspectors reviewed report's of audits and appraisals of the.radwaste program conducted by the licensee's Quality Assurance Department in late 1986 and 1987, to date. Four audits were conducted during this period as follows: A November 1986 audit reviewed activities 'to support solidif.icati of liquid radwaste and to verify that findings identified in two previous audits were adequately addressed. Three previously identified findings regarding the lack of a preventive maintenance

program for the solidification trailer and two' findings for procedural inadequacies were satisfactorily corrected. The audit detennined

.that effective programs were established by Associated Technologies Incorporated (ATI) to support solidification of liquid radwast The inspectors identified no problems with the corrective action An audit was conducted on January 9 - February 3,1987, to evaluate the effectiveness of activities performed by radwaste personnel to meet the requirements of the. station's operational QA program-(10 CFR 50, Appendix B criteria). This audit included a review of the Process Control Program, station water management, preventive maintenance, housekeeping, and radioactive material shipping. Six findings were identified for failure to adhere to procedures, housekeeping concerns, lack of procedures, incomplete records, and an apparent Technical Specification / Process Control Program discrepanc Corrective actions taken or planned for these findings appear to be adequate. The Technical Specification / Process Control Program discrepancy pertained to 10 CFR 61.56 compliance issues for waste stability and void content. The licensee's Process Control Program and waste solidifics. tion process are approved by the NRC; however, the vendor's (ATI's) 10 CFR 61 waste form topical report is pending NRC approval. Until the waste form topical report is approved, the licensee cannot transport ATI solidified liquid wastes without approval from the burial site operator. The state of Washington has reportedly authorized interim approval for ATI solidified waste (via their bitumen process) to be transferred to the Richland, Washington burial site, pending approval of the waste form topical repor An audit was conducted in June 1987, to determine the ability of ATI to perform solidificadon of liquid radwaste in accordance with the PCP and the ATI QA program. Six findings were issued to ATI for procedural infractions, failure to implement procedures, lack of acceptance criteria for flush water to minimize internal contamination of equipment, failure to calibrate monitors, and unavailability o'

records. Corrective actions have been planned and partially implemented for most of the findings; no problems were noted with these actions. The effectiveness of the corrective actions are required to be verified by the licensee prior to audit closure and are subject to further NRC revie d. An audit was conducted in July 1987 at ATl's North Carolina facility to determine the adequacy of implementing ATI's QA manual with emphasis on operation of the waste solidification trailer. .Four findings were identified for failure to fully implement procedures and the measuring and test equipment program, and for computer software problems. Corrective actions for these findings are pending . The audit determined that the administrative controls for ,

the program were not fully effective. NRC review of corrective action implementation for these audit findings will continue to be reviewed during future inspections. Although administrative controls need to be strengthened, there is no indication that waste is not being prepared pursuant to PCP requirement _ _ - _ _ - _ _ _ _

The licensee's QA audit program appears adequate to assess technical performance and regulatory and procedural compliance of the radwaste progra No violations or deviations were identifie . Radiological Controls for_ Drywell During Spent Fuel Movement During spent fuel movement, drywell access is procedurally limited to areas at or below the 781-foot drywell elevation; no access is allowed above the 781-foot elevation. The biological shield extends up to the 794-foot drywell el.mtion. In addition to the drywell, two other accessible areas exist with potential for-significant (lethal) radiation exposures during spent fuel movement: (1) The Containment Valve Room {an enclosure housing the blind flange and upper isolation valve); and (2) the Fuel Building Mid Support Room (Block House). These areas are posted as Very High Radiat-lon Areas and require a specific RWP and issuance of two unique keys for entry. The keys Fe controlled by the Director, Flant Radiation Protection. Access to both areas is further controlled by interlocks which monitor entrance shield blocking device positions. If the shield blocks are opened slightly, interlocks activate alarms at the fuel handling operator panels and deenergize the inclined Fuel Transfer System (IFTS), halting all further fuel transfer. Prior to operation of the IFTS, procedures require confirmation that all personnel are clear and blocking devices installed and locked for the valve room and mid support roo CPS Procedure No. 7410.78 requires installation of the Dropped Fuel Bundle Warning System prior to fuel movement. The warnWg system is comprised of three portable area radiation monitors located at various azimuths of the 767-foot level tf the drywell and includes remote audible alarms located at the 743 and 774-foot drywell elevations and visible alarms at the personnel drywell airlock and equipment hatch. In addition, a modification has recently been completed to permanently install warning signs near the Dropped Fuel Bundle Warning System's audible.and vi.sible alarms; the l warning signs instruct personnel.to evacuate should alarms activat The licensee indicated that a fuel-shute shield or similar transfer canal shield is not necessary, the water and design (concrete) shielding is reportedly sufficient to protect workers occupying accessible areas of the drywell. The FSAR indicates that four inches of lead shielding is permanently installed in the vicinity of the refueling pool bellows and covers a 180 sector around the fuel transfer gate. With this shielding in place, the radiation levels in the accessible areas of the drywell are calculated at less than 160 mrem /hr when a spent fuel assembly passes over the bellows. This matter is unresolved pending further NRC review (Unresolved Item 461/87028-04).

There are currently no procedure limitations or prohibitions on spent fuel movement to ensure fuel is not moved close to the reactor pressure vessel innur wall when the drywell is occupied at or below the 781-foot elevatio Since the bottom of the active fuel extends down to approximately the 761-foot drywell elevation, this could represent a potential radiological

hazard to individuals working around unshielded piping penetrations in the biological shield. Existing radiation protection procedures do not specifically address drywell access during spent fuel movement; however, an operating procedure requires radiation protection be notified prior to installation or removal of any items from the storage pools or the reacto vessel. Radiological controls for the drp ell are primarily exercised through specific RWP; the use of alarming dosimeters or similar devices for drywell workers is evaluated on a case basis. These matters are unresolved pending NRC review of fuel handling procedures, projected l radiation levels through penetrations, and drywell radiological controls I

(Unresolved Item 461/87028-05). The licensee's initial refueling outage is tentatively scheduled for late 198 There currently exists no formalized training program to provide all affected workers an understanding of the potential radiological hazards associated with working in the drywell during spent fuel movemen Individuals working in the drywell are required to read, understand, and adhere to the area postings and the RWP controlling the job. To' address the concern for formal training, the licensee's training department internally committed to develop and present training to radiation protection, chemistry, and maintenance staffs regarding radiological hazards associated with fuel handling. The-. training should also be '

provided to affected operation / refuel workers and include evacuation plans in addition to potential hazards and work restrictions. This matter was discussed at the exit meeting and will be reviewed during,a future inspection (0 pen Item 461/87028-06).

No violations or deviations were identified.

14. Solid Radioactive Waste l The inspectors reviewed the licensee's solid radioactive waste management l program, including detennination whether changes to equipment and procedures were in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59; adequacy of implementing

'

procedures to properly classify and characterize waste, prepare manifests, and mark packages; overall performance of the process control and quality i assurance programs; adequacy of required records, reports, and notifications; and experience concerning identification and correction of programmatic weaknesses.

15. Liquids and liquid Radioactive Wastes-The inspectors reviewed the licensee's reactor liquids and 1 management programs, including determination whether liquid ,iquid radwaste radioactive waste effluents were in accordance with regulatory requirements; adequacy of required records, reports, and notifications; and experience concerning identification and correction of programmatic weaknesse The program was reviewed for calendar year 1987 to date. The inspectors ,

reviewed a draft of the semiannual effluent report for 1987, and (

selectively reviewed effluent records for the same period. .No.significant problems were identified during this review. Liquid effluents' are released on a batch basis (following sampling and analysis) to a single telease path which is monitored (alarm and isolation functions). The 1_i,q0id,radwaste-effluent flow combines with the plant service circulating W6ter flow in the seal well prior to entering the discharge fiume to 1.ake Clinton to 7 provide adequate dilution to assure that the effluent reaching the cooling lake is below MPC for the mixture of all nuclides released. Mcst .olant liquids, including chemical waste liquids, are processed and reclai'med by use of filters, radwaste evaporators, and resin beds. Batch discharges released to date are the result of_inleakane from the makeup condensate system, main condenser waterbox overflow, and condenser tube letku Due to chemistry problems associated with processing lake water thr6 ugh radwaste systems, the regeneration waste from the radwaste demineralizers was also discharge Analyses of batch liquid releases include counting a sample of the recirculated liquid _using a GeLi system to identify and determine the concentration of the gamma emitting nuclides required by Technical Specification Table 4.11.1- For pure beta emitters, including strontium 89 and 90, iron 55, and hydrogen 3, the composite samples are sent to a contractor for beta analysis. The concentrations of each nuclide, as well as the actual discharge and dilution flow rates, are fed into a computer program which provides the MPC fraction for each nuclide, the sum of MPC fractions, the allowable radwaste discharge flow rate, and the setpoint (above background) of the monitor on the discharge line, which has alarm and isolation function The average dilution flow from the plant service water used in the calculation for the release rate to the cooling lake ranges between 20,000 to 30,000 gpm. The maximum release rate from the effluent line is 250 gpm. Selective review of release records for 1987 to date identified ,

17. Calibrations and Functional Tests of Gaseous and Liquid Process Effluent Monitors l The inspectors selectively reviewed calibration and channel functional test records for process radiation monitors (PRMs) on the liquid system l (including the radwaste discharge, service water discharge,. component i l

7 cooling, fuel pool heat exchanger, and shutdown service water monitors) j l and the HVAC, SGTS, and pre and post-treatment air ejector off,-gas I

monitors on the gaseous system. Technical Specification (T/S) 4.3.7.11 l requires that channel calibration of the liquid PRMs described above be i

'

1l/

L performed at 18-month intervals, requires daily channel checks, monthly source checks, quarterly functional tests, and source checks prior to

. /'

each release. Similarly, T/S 4.3.7.12 requires channel calibration of the

'

- . gaseous monitors at 18-month intervals, source checks at monthly intervals,

'

/ and channel functional checks at quarterly interval /

7 During this review, it was noted that the initial licensee calibration of the liquid process monitors was performed in the latter part of 1986 and involved determination of an efficiency using two concentrations of cobalt-60 liquid source Equipment manufacturer calibrations reportedly

< > used cesium-137 and cobalt-60 sources. It was further noted that on

'

'f d April 21, 1987, engineers in the licensee's Nuclear Safety Engineering  ;

s

-

Department (NSED) identified that the liquid PRMs may not have been 1

,

'

I calibrated over the intended energy range of the monitors as required by T/Ss. Although NSED initially identified the apparent T/S violation, i apparently other cognizant staff members were not fully aware of the problem. The monitors were not declared inoperable by operations until ,

July 30, 1987, when they became aware of the T/S. violation as a result 1 of an independent technical review of CPS procedures concerning PRM channel

, / functional tests. During the period February 26 (initial criticality)

L' f' through July 30, 1987, less than 80 batch liquid discharges were made, l consisting of less than 2 millicuries of radioactivity. Failure to

'

j

>. s perform the initial channel calibration of the liquid PRMs using

-

reference standards which permit calibrating the system over its intended

'

range of energy is a violation of Technical Specification 4.3.7.11 (Table 4.3.7.11-1, footnote 3). Although the apparent violation was initially identified by the licensee in late April 1987, no actions were

.,

taken to verify and correct the problem until July 30, 1987, when the

h Until the liquid process radiation monitors are calibrated in accordance

'

7 with Technical Specification 4.3.7.11, further liquid effluent discharges ( cannot be made unless the licensee complies with the action statement in l s Technical Specification Table 3.7-11- Vendor and licensee primary calibrations have been perfo'nned in 1987 on the normal and accident range HVAC and SGTS gaseous effluent monitor ', The calibrations were performed using xenon-133 and krypton-85 gases a various solid sources to determine detector response, measure energy response values, and to reasure the linearity of the detectors over the

The inspectors reviewed selected LERs to determine that deportability l, . requirements were fulN11ed and adequate and timely corrective action

,m was accomplished, including actions to prevent recurrence. In addition, t each event was evaineted for previous similar events, root cause, and

LER 461/87-034-00: " Violation of the Plant's Technical Specifications Due to Utility Personnel Error Resulting From Inadequate Communications." On July 7,1987, a process radiation monitor was declared inoperable end placed in a tripped condition one hour and seventeen minutes after failing its channel functional test. Technical Specification 3.3.2 requires the monitor be placed in a tripped condition within one hour. Due to miscommunication between Utility Operations and Radiation Protection Personnel, and compounded by material unavailability (electrical jumpers),

the monitor was not placed into a tripped condition within the required time constraint j Involved personnel were counseled regarding the communication problems l contributing to the event, and additional training was provided to l Radiation Protection Department Staff on the Plant's Technical Specifications and related requirements and terminology. Also, additional equipment was obtained to ensure appropriate supplies are available to place Technical Specification instrumentation in a tripped condition.

LER 461/87-037-00: " Violation of Plant's Technical Specifications Due to a'

lJtility Personnel Error." On two separate occasions in July 1987, the licensee identified that two shiftly Technical Specification surveillance (channel checks) were not performed on the Containment Purge Ventilation i 1 Radiation Monitor. The events were caused by intermittent communication l l problems between the monitor and its computer control terminal (CCT),

l procedural inadequacies, ar6 isx communications between and within Radiation Protection and Control and Instrumentation staffs. These events !

were evaluated by the licensee and determined not to be safety significant'.
