INSPECTION
REPORT 50-397/95-16
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Messrs;
Blaine Murray and
Michael
P.
Shannon of this office on May 22-25,
1995.
The inspection
included
a review of activities authorized for your Washington Nuclear Project-2
facility.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
the findings were discussed
with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed
report.
The radiation protection
program
was examined during this inspection.
Within
this area,
the inspection consisted
of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observation of
activities in progress.
The purpose of the inspection
was to determine
whether activities authorized
by the license
were conducted
safely
and in
accordance
with NRC requirements.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
two apparent violations were
identified and are being considered
for escalated
enforcement
action
accordance
with the "General
Statement
of Policy and Procedure for NRC
Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy),
10 CfR Part
2, Appendix C.
The
apparent violations involved the failure to:
(1) maintain continuous health
physics oversight of work activities in
a high radiation
area
and
(2) provide
proper instructions to radiation workers.
Accordingly,
is presently
being issued for these
inspection findings.
In addition,
please
be advised that the number
and characterization
of apparent violations
described
in the enclosed
inspection report
may change
as
a result of further
NRC review.
In addition, it was identified that workers entered
the radiologically
controlled area without proper dosimetry,
and this was in violation of
Technical Specification 6.8.1.
This violation is not being cited because
the
criteria in paragraph
VII:B.2 for licensee-identified
violations of Appendix
C
to
10 CfR Part
2 of the
NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
were satisfied.
This
violation was
an isolated
occurrence
and your staff took prompt and effective
actions to correct the problem.
An enforcement
conference
to discuss
these
apparent violations has
been
scheduled
for June
28,
1995, at 8:30 a.m. at our office.
This was confirmed
950b200237 950bi3
ADOCK 05000397
8
Public
Power
Supply System
on June
5,
1995, during
a telephone call between
Nr.
K. Perkins of this office
and yourself.
The decision to hold
an enforcement
conference
does not mean
that the
NRC has determined
that
a violation has occurred or that enforcement
action will be taken,
The purposes
of this conference
are to discuss
the
apparent violations, their causes
and safety significance;
to provide you the
opportunity to point out any errors
in our inspection report;
and to provide
an opportunity for you to present your proposed corrective actions.
In
addition, this is
an opportunity for you to provide
any information concerning
your perspectives
on:
(1) the severity of the violations,
(2) the application
of the factors that the
NRC considers
when it determines
the amount of a civil
penalty that
may
be assessed
in accordance
with Section VI.B.2 of the
Enforcement
Policy,
and
(3) any other application of the Enforcement Policy to
this case,
including the exercise of discretion in accordance
with Section
VII.
You will be advised
by separate
correspondence
of the results of our
deliberations
on this matter.
No response
regarding
these
apparent violations
is required at this time.
A concern
was identified involving the implementation of your specific
radiation work permit program.
Your radiation work permit program appeared
to
be ineffective in that sufficient radiological
information was not included
on
some specific radiation work permits.
This concern is discussed
in
Section 2.4.6 of the enclosed
inspection report.
Please
discuss
your
assessment
of this concern during the June
28,
1995,
enforcement
conference.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter
and its enclosure will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
Should you have
any questions
concerning this inspection,
we will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
Docket;
