The inspector noted additional efforts by the. licensee to: increase the- ,
effectiveness of the ALARA program. 'Among these:were programs'to trend low radiation dose areas and ultrafiltration of the reactor coolant system (with chemistry as the lead group). Through computerized dose tracking, the licensee was able to review exposures. associated with each RWP; daily, and to compare the results with the prejob estimates per. formed by.the i ALARA group to determine whether additional precautions or changes in ,
instructions to workers needed to be mad The licensee's actions were sufficient to' address the NRC's concerns in- !
this area. Additional elements of the ALARA program are discussed in-paragraph t

-4- Organization and Management Controls (83750)
The inspector reviewed the. licensee's organization and management. controls to determine compliance with' Technical Specification (TS) 6.2, commitments ;
in Chapter 13.of the Updated Final- Safety Analysis Report-(UFSAR),: and -
agreement with Regulatory Guide-(RG)-1,3
'
,
Functionally, the licensee's organization remained the same'as:during-the {
previous inspection, although there had been-personnel reassignments,- 'An !
-
additional engineering position had just been approved:forithe ALARA - ;
group, as discussed in paragraph For added support for the Unit-2 outage, the 1_icensee' employed , 4 approximately 53 contract senior HP technicians, 22 contract junior'HP!
technicians, and increased the. number of contract decontamination _ workers to approximately 6 The inspector reviewed copies of radiological occurrence reports;and-radiological controls ' deficiency reports and noted 'an example of 'an ,
. individual apparently deliberately disregarding the: instructions o_f both j the RWP under which entry into the RRA was made and an HP providing .1 coverage. The individual entered a high contamination area. which was not _ 4 permitted by the RWP, and in direct conflict with the instruction of the- ;
H The individual was: sighted by HP personnel, via television camera, climbing up a steam ' generator platform and was notified by' radioi speaker -
to leave the area. The individual was then escorted from the:RRA~and '
access-pr_ivileges were-revoked. The-inspector: determined;that this was an
-
isolated case and it appeared that HP's control worked adequately to cope with the situatio No violations or deviations were identified.- Training and Qualifications (83750)
The inspector reviewed selected' resumes of contract HP technicians and-determined that they met the commitments in Chapter 12 of, the UFSA No violations or deviations were identifie . Outage Activities (83750) 'k The inspector reviewed the licensee's~ activities duringithe Unit- refueling outage to determine' compliance with TSs 6;11'and 6.12; the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 19.12, 20.101,:20.102,;20.103,:20.105, 20,201, 20.202, 20.207, 20.301,.20.401, 71, and 49hCFR: Parts;171-through 178; the commitments of Chapter 12 of the UFSAR and the recommendations of RG 1.8,.8.8, 8.10, 8.15, NUREG-0041,' Industry Standards-ANSI Z88.2-1980, ANSI /GCA G-7.1-1989'and ANSI'N323-197 The inspector attended meetings of the work control organization and noted that there was a free exchange of.information among departments'regarding

The inspector attended prejob meetings conducted by HP,.
Participants i particular work evolutions were briefed'on the_ radiological. conditions'_in j
the areas in which they were to work. .. Instructions also= included al1~
requirements listed on their respectiveLRWPs and industry events involving !
similar work. Briefings were thorough;'however, repeated entrances 11ntol ' !
the briefing room (which also served as La break room) by. uninvolved 1 personnel were distractin h Certain RWPs required that(individuals attend'the prejob meeting 4n receive special instruction; however,-the inspector noted that(there were' ,
no means of ensuring that individuals actually received.-the required > '
briefing The inspector compared the. lists of meeting attendees with, lists of personnel assigned to the respective-RWPs, but did notJidentify:
specific problems. Licensee representatives acknowledged'the lack;ofc .;
positive control and initiated a change in: procedure, which required _the '
confirmation of attendance. of a prejob: meeting, prior to'the addition o an individual onto the computerized access-list for'that specific.RW j Licensee representatives also discussed, as a long-term. solution,. changes 1 i to the computer program at access control which.would prevent entry o personnel not meeting the RWP criteri ~ .

The inspector attended a meeting concerning the use of a strippable; coating on the reactor cavity walls. The coating-is' intended asia 4'
person-rem reduction item by reducing both' decontamination = time.a'nd'sourcez term. The first leyer of coating was applied before the cavity was; flooded and a second coating will be applied to seal:in; contaminants. The entire coating will be removed prior _to resumption of operations and dispesed as waste. The inspector-reviewed portions of an1 engineering safety evaluation of the process' performed' prior to its use.. The
'
inspector noted that charcoal filter' systems in the. heating.cVentilation, and air conditioning r>ystems were' tagged out of. service, by procedure, during the application of the coating, thus preventing _ vapors from being l drawn through the filters and damaging the The inspector deteimined that, in an effort to keep radiation ex'posure low the licensee had conducted mockup training for several jobs including steam generator nozzle dam installati0n, steam generator shotlpeening, _and reactor coolant pump work. HP restric'.ed access to certain areas during a crud burst proceeding the outage and used lead-blankets extensively as temporary shielding of hot spots. The inspector also noted the extensive use of television cameras for contro11' ng various ' areas and job g Monitors were located at the RRA access control and HP control point '
The inspector reviewed the access con' rol point of the RRA and noted that it was more open, with fewer solid wa 1s, than the. control point in:

Unit 1, which made it easier for HP technicians-to observe workers as they i exited the RRA and performed contamination- check '
The inspector verified that portable radiction survey instruments and i portable air samplers were'available.- The inspector.noted that.a tool '
monitor had been installed in the exit area of the RRA :Such monitors
.
were not available during the last outage for: Unit l'. The-inspector also
-
-
t noted that the unit frequently was not functioning properly. Hand-hel frisking units were also at the exit of. theLRRA and: personnel were required to frisk their ankles and tops of'the their, shoes, in the event
-
contamination might'have been present in an areaLsbielded from the:
beta-sensitive detectors of the_ personnel contamination' monitor The inspector reviewed the respiratory. protection equipment issue process and storage' area and confirmed that individuals working:there were familiar with the licensee's procedures. -Additionally, the~ inspector-reviewed the qualifications of selected = individuals:and confirmed that they were qualified to. receive the respira_ tory protection equipment issued:
to them. By use of a computer terminal, controlitechnicians could check
.
to ensure that, within the preceding year, worker.C had received respiratory protection training, fit tests, and medical, evaluations.1 The inspector noted some inconsistency in. the form in which the'information -
-
was presented, in that the-dates of completion of two of the items were listed along with the due da;.e for the thir The inspector observed HP's'cov9 rage of jobs-in the reactor. containment l building, including.the liftir.g of the upper internals and 0-ring removal,_ ,
i-
'
and work on the incore dete:. tor drive mechanism The tasks required prejob instructions by Hr as:well as continuous coverage. 'HP technicians appeared to perform their duties wel l The licensee took additional precautions to-lower the number of personnel contaminations during the outage. Precautions included theluse of shoe covers by all individuals within containment evenLin areas with contamination levels below 1000 disintegrations per minute, increased use of plastic sheets covering.potentially contaminated areas'and~ components,.
increased distances between. walkways and controlled areas. 'The licensee's goal was to limit the number of personnel contamination occurrences to 100. As of November 1, 1990, the' licensee had recorded 25. personnel contaminations, with only 5 resulting in skinLexposures calculated as being greater than 10 millire The collective exposure goal for the outage was 125 person-rem. As o November 1,1990, the -licensee had accrued 82 person-re The inspector reviewed posting and performed confirmatory measurements, but did not identify problem areas._ Licensee representatives related to ;
the inspector the details of a recent occurrence involving an area which was anticipated would be a~ locked.high radiation area during the course of the outage. TS 6.12.2 requires that enclosed areas in which radiation 3
