Dear Mr. DelGeorge:
,
SUBJECT:
MANAGEMENT MEETING AND RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION AT DRESDEN
This refers to the Management Meeting between me and other members of the NRC
staff and Mr. M. Lyster and other members of his staff on September 24, 1993,
at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station to discuss concerns identified in
Inspection Reports No. 50-237/93022(DRSS); 50-249/93022(DRSS) regarding outage
emergent work exposure control and outage contamination control.
Findings
from a plant inspection prior to the Meeting are also discussed in the
enclosed report.
Discussion by your staff at the Meeting indicated adequate corrective actions
had been taken for the previously identified concerns.
Additional effort,
however, appeared necessary to reduce non-outage dose received by workers
under general radiation work permits.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation is being cited because of the longstanding
problem with controlling the placement of material and equipment on
contaminated area boundaries and controlling contaminated equipment.
This
problem and the problem of inadequate control of equipment discussed in
Inspection Reports No. 50-237/93020(DRP); 50-249/93020(DRP) represent a need
for workers to understand and implement management expectations and for
management to spend time in the plant to ensure that the expectations are
being met.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
. Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
in the NRC Public Document Room.
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
