~Pur ose
This management
meeting
was held at the request of NRC Region I to
discuss:
the weaknesses
identified during
NRC Combined Inspection
Nos.
50-387/87-19,

the licensee's
perceptions
as to the cause of
the identified weaknesses;
and the licensee's

the weaknesses.
In particular, the following weaknesses
were discussed:
frequent rotation
of radiological control supervisory
personnel;
poor worker frisking practices;
poor contaminated
material control practices;
lack of procedures
for high
radiation area
access
control; weak oversight of in-plant radiological
work activities;
and lack of well defined on-going job ALARA review criteria.

Discussion
Licensee
personnel
discussed
the circumstances
and apparent
causes
asso-
ciated with the weaknesses
identified in
NRC Combined Inspection
Nos. 50-387/87-19,
50-388/87-19.
The licensee
placed the findings in
perspective
relative to the findings of their own internal
assessments
of
program adequacy
and effectiveness
and highlighted what actions
were being
taken to address
the identified weaknesses.
The licensee
discussed
his efforts to establish
a permanent highly quali-
fied staff, increase
worker involvement and raise station work practice
standards,
upgrade
the contamination control
program and improve contain-
ment work management.
4.
Concludin
Statements
The licensee
acknowledged
the existence of the weaknesses
identified, but
stated that the overall Radiological
Controls program was in conformance
with regulatory requirements
and guidance
and that
no significant program
breakdown
had occurred.
NRC management
acknowledged
the licensee's
efforts and indicated the
licensee's
efforts appear to be well directed
toward addressing
the
identified weaknesses
and that
NRC would review the effectiveness
of
these actions during future inspections.
