NRC Inspection Reports 50-315/98006; 50-316/98006

This inspection included a review of the radiation protection program, including the personnel

monitoring and portable instrumentation programs.

Also reviewed was a January 26, 1998

transportation event where radioactive material was shipped without shipping papers and

emergency response information. The following specific observations were made:

Pin Su

The licensee failed to maintain positive control over a radioactive material shipment,

resulting in its leaving the site without the driver having the required shipping paperwork

or emergency response instructions.

Two apparent violations of regulatory

requirements were identified. (Section R1.1)

Rugs with low levels of contamination build-up on them were being cleaned outside of

the protected area.

The contamination to the soil was identiTied and remediated, and

corrective actions were appropriate.

(Section R1.2)

The overall calibration and maintenance system for the portable instrument program

was effectively implemented with the exception of the inspector identified RM-14/RM-20

response check weakness.

(Section R2.1)

Material condition of the Aptec PMW-3, PCM-1B whole body friskers and portal monitors

was good, and workers used this equipment appropriately.

Calibrations and tests were

performed at the required frequencies and response test results were good.

Independent reviews indicated that the monitoring instrumentation was capable of

detecting the established external and internal personal radioactive contamination limits.

(Section R2.2)

A procedural violation was identified for workers who did not check their electronic

dosimetry prior to entering the radiologically controlled area to ensure that they were

turned on. The licensee's review of this matter had not sufficiently considered the

procedural requirement that workers check their electronic dosimetry.

(Section R4.1)

A worker's failure to contact radiation protection after alarming the security gate house

portal monitors was a procedural violation. Additionally, of concern, was the licensee's

conclusion regarding where the hot particle had come from. The condition report

concluded that it had come from outside the radiologically controlled area and even

possibly outside the buildings but did not address other more likely scenarios.

Further,

the inspectors were concerned

that the condition report addressing the procedural

violation had not been responded to at the time of the inspection.

(Section R4.2)

tl "

Ck

A procedural violation was identified when workers in the lower ice condenser were

found not wearing two pairs of gloves as required by the radiation work permit. This

violation, as well as the violations cited in sections R4.1 and R4.2, in the aggregate,

indicate a decline in radiation worker performance.

Of further concern was the fact that

workers had been disregarding the RWP dress requirements for two to three weeks and

RP had failed to identify this practice.

(Section R4.3)

The licensee was effective at identifying problems, but was not as effective in resolving

and/or documenting them.

The inspectors reviewed the circumstances

surrounding and the licensee's investigation

regarding a January 26, 1998, occurrence of a shipment leaving the licensee's facility

without the proper shipping paperwork and without the truck having the proper placards

displayed.

s

On January 26, 1998, the licensee prepared for transport, a shipment consisting of two

reactor coolant pump motor air coolers (one package), one reactor coolant pump motor

oil cooler, and one drum of oil. The reactor coolant pump coolers were classified as

radioactive material, surface contaminated objects, 7, UN2913, SCO-II; the oil was not

radioactive.

The truck was properly loaded and the required surveys were performed by

radiation protection (RP) personnel.

The truck was placarded and the driver was

instructed by the radiation materials specialist to wait for him to return and give the

driver the completed package of shipping paperwork.

Shortly thereafter, a licensee individual gave the driver a copy of a shipping

memorandum which briefly described the shipment contents, but did not discuss the

radioactive contamination or contain emergency response instructions.

The driver

assumed that this memorandum was the required paperwork and contacted his

dispatch.

Based on the information contained in the memorandum, the driver was

instructed to remove the placards and proceed.

Although the driver was inside the licensee's owner controlled area (but outside the

protected area), he was not required to be escorted and, therefore, there were no

licensee personnel to question the decision to remove the placards and prevent him

from leaving with the shipment.

Upon completion of the shipping paperwork, approximately two hours later, the licensee

discovered that the driver had left the site without the appropriate shipping paperwork or

emergency response information. RP personnel contacted the driver's dispatcher who

contacted the driver and instructed the driver to pull over and replace the placards.

The

proper shipping paperwork was also faxed to the driver before the shipment was allowed

to proceed.

The shipment subsequently arrived at its intended destination without

incident.

I S

49 CFR 172.200 requires, in part, that each person who offers a hazardous material for

transportation shall describe the hazardous material on the shipping paper in the

manner required by this subpart (subpart C). The failure to include shipping papers is

an apparent violation of 49 CFR 172.200 (EEI 50-315/980Q6-01 and 50-316/98006-01).

Additionally, 49 CFR 172.600 requires, with exceptions not applicable here, that no

person may offer for transportation, accept for transportation, transfer, store or

otherwise handle during transportation, a hazardous material unless emergency

response

information conforming to subpart G of 49 CFR Part 172 is immediately

available for use at all times the hazardous material is present.

Pursuant to 49 CFR

172.101, radioactive material is classified as hazardous material. The failure to include

the emergency response information with the shipment is an apparent violation of 49

CFR 172.600 (EEI 50-315/98006-02 and 50-316/98006-02).

Following this event, the licensee implemented corrective actions which included the

requirement that all drivers of radioactive shipments, prepared outside of the protected

area, be escorted until the required paperwork had been delivered and the shipment

was prepared to leave the site. The licensee indicated that this corrective action would

be evaluated to determine the need for alternate or additional actions.

ggnnl,isis>>;

The licensee failed to maintain positive control over a radioactive material shipment,

resulting in its leaving the site without the driver having the required shipping paperwork

or emergency response instructions.

Two apparent violations of regulatory

requirements were identified.

The inspectors reviewed an occurrence where the licensee identified that rugs with low

levels of contamination were being cleaned outside of the protected areas.

ati

F'

s

On January 11, 1998, workers removing two rugs from the Radiation Protection Access

Control (RPAC), alarmed the security portal radiation monitors.

RP personnel

responding to the event, identified contamination between 50-200 corrected counts per

minute on the rugs.

Subsequent

surveys, identified similar contamination levels on

other rugs located throughout the facility. The licensee believed the contamination

resulted from long-term buildup of residual activity.

Because the rugs were routinely cleaned in a utilitygarage outside the RCA, the

licensee performed soil sampling near the cleaning area.

Two of these samples were

contaminated with 4.8E-8 and 7.4E-8 microcuries per gram (uCi/g) of cobalt-60. About

144 cubic inches of soil was removed and subsequent

sampling identified no additional

contamination.

The affected soil was later disposed of as radioactive waste.

The licensee sent the contaminated rugs to an offsite facility (NRC licensed) for

cleaning.

The licensee's corrective actions in"luded changing the cleaning procedures

to require that the rugs be cleaned in place and the water disposed of into a

decontamination area sink. Rugs from the office building will be surveyed by RP prior to

removal for cleaning.

~lid

The licensee identified that rugs with low levels of contamination build-up on them were

being cleaned outside of the protected area.

The contamination to the soil was

identified and remediated, and corrective actions were appropriate.

The inspectors reviewed the operation and calibration methodology for the portable

beta~amma

monitoring equipment.

The inspectors walked down some of the

calibration facilityand equipment, observed radioactive source condition, compared

results from an independent calibration of certain instruments to the licensee's results,

and reviewed detector operability history, other calibration and test results, and selected

procedures.

rva '

i din

Calibration and instrument tests were performed as required, and equipment was as

described in the Final Safety Analysis Report.

The portable monitoring/survey

equipment consisted mainly of geiger-mueller (GM) and ion chamber detectors.

In

general, calibration and test methodology was technically sound for all portable

monitoring equipment reviewed during the inspection.

Neutron monitoring instruments

were calibrated by a vendor and all other portable monitoring equipment was calibrated

and tested by the licensee.

With the exception of the RM-14 and RM-20 detectors, all

portable instruments were calibrated using radioactive sources and were tested weekly

to ensure they responded within the + 20% of the known value. An experienced and

dedicated group of calibration technicians provided ownership over the calibration

program.

The RM-14 and RM-20 detectors were calibrated electronically at one point on each of

four scales on a yearly frequency.'he inspectors noted that although no radioactive

source was used to verify the electronic calibration results during the actual calibration

regimen, radioactive strontium-90 (Sr-90) sources were used to verify the instrument

was responding to within the prescribed tolerance limits before issuance.

This protocol

I

j

was required by the instrument issuance procedure (12 THP 6010RPI.500) and the

results of the verification were recorded on the test result sheet as "Satisfactory" or

"Unsatisfactory".

There was no documentation which identified the actual recorded values found during

the verification test using the Sr-90 sources.

During an independent verification of four

RM-14/RM-20 detectors, the inspectors noted that all four detectors responded at the

very low end of the + 20% allowed tolerance limitwhen using the most radioactive of the

two Sr-90 sources.

This observation was discussed with the licensee who investigated

the matter and found that the source in question had not been appropriately decay

corrected.

The lack of documented actual recorded values from the response checks

may have contributed to the licensee's unawareness

of the problem.

Corrective actions

taken to ensure proper detector response of the RM-14/RM-20 instruments willbe

reviewed during a future inspection.

(Inspection Follow-up Item(IFI) 50-315/98006-03

and 50-316/98006-03)

The inspectors noted that the relevant portable instrument calibration procedures

address actions that should be taken when the "as found " results were outside of the

acceptable tolerance limits. To prevent use of portable instruments that have possible

degraded detector performance, the licensee performed a weekly test using the primary

"Shepard Calibrator" to ensure all non-RM-14/RM-20 portable instruments respond to

within + 20% of the tolerance limits.

Qgg~s~in

With the exception of the inspector identified RM-14/RM-20 response check weakness,

the overall calibration and maintenance system for the portable instrument program

was effectively implemented.

The inspectors reviewed the calibrations of the Aptec PMW-3 and PCM-1B whole body

friskers and the Gamma 40 security access portal monitors. The inspection included a

walkdown of the monitors, interviews with the RP staff, a review of test and calibration

records, observation of a whole body frisker (Aptec PMW-3) calibration, a review of

alarm set point methodology, and an independent review of the passive internal

monitoring program and whole body frisker and portal monitor sensitivities.

bserv tion

nd Fin in

During the walkdowns, the inspectors observed the monitors to be in good condition and

operable.

Workers were observed to be using the monitors correctly and in accordance

with station requirements.

The technicians performing the calibrations and testing were

part of a dedicated group who provide ownership of the program.

Completed calibration

records documented that required calibrations were accomplished at the appropriate

frequency and performed in accordance with procedures.

Whole body frisker test

results indicated they alarmed with about 100 % frequency at the set point limits of 5000

disintegrations per minute for each zone.

Portal monitor test results indicated they also

alarmed at an average frequency of 85% using an approximately 125 nanocurie source;

the radioactive source used to test both types of monitors is about equivalent to the set

point value.

The Passive

Internal Monitoring Program consisted of monitoring for internal

contaminants using the whole body friskers and the walk-through portal monitors.

These monitors were capable of detecting internal radioactive contaminates that would

produce 1% of the annual limiton intake (ALI)from gamma emitting isotopes.

Because

these monitors could not detect non-gamma emitting radioisotopes,

the licensee

performed an engineering review demonstrating that by using the stations known

radioisotopic mix to calculate the ratio of beta emitters to the gamma emitters, the

internal dose for all plant radioisotopes could be calculated.

This conclusion was

considered technically sound by the inspectors.

The inspectors also reviewed the

licensee's technical study used as the basis for implementing the passive internal

monitoring program, and the test results used to ensure the system was capable of

detecting 1% of the ALI. In addition, the inspectors performed an independent technical

review considering established whole body frisker monitor efficiencies, and known plant

gamma-emitter energies and abundance to ensure that the monitors were capable of

meeting the licensee's expected monitor response.

The results of this review also

indicated that the monitoring system should be capable of detecting 1% of an ALI.

~Co clos

Material condition of the Aptec PMW-3, PCM-1 whole body friskers and portal monitors

was good, and workers used this equipment appropriately.

Calibrations and tests were

performed at the required frequencies and response test results were good.

Independent reviews indicated that the monitoring instrumentation was capable of

detecting the established external and internal personal radioactive contamination limits.

The inspectors reviewed a November 6, 1997, event in which two workers entered the

Unit 2 regenerative heat exchanger room, a EHRA, with their electronic dosimetry (ED)

turned off. The inspectors reviewed the licensee's investigation of the matter, including

the adequacy of the radiation protection staft's actions, and discussed

the event with

applicable members of the RP staff.

On November 6, 1997, two workers entered the Unit 2 regenerative heat exchanger

room, a EHRA, with their EDs in the offmode.

The workers identified that their EDs

were not on after having been in the room for about seven minutes.

Both workers

notiTied the coverage radiation protection technician (RPT) and left the radiologically

controlled area (RCA).

An investigation performed by RP personnel determined that the EDs had been turned

offwhen a contract RPT had tried to adjust the dose rate and accumulated dose

settings.

The workers were working under radiation work permit (RWP) no. 97-1138

which had several different tasks, each task required different dose rate and

accumulated dose settings.

The RPTs had the capability to change these settings as

needed, based on the radiological conditions of the work area using a dosimetry reader.

However, the contract RPT who adjusted the EDs had never been trained on the use of

the dosimetry reader.

When. the contract RPT removed the EDs from the dosimetry reader he never looked at

the display to verify that they were functioning normally. Additionally, the workers never

verified that the EDs were on prior to entering the RCA. Each worker was assigned

31

mrem based upon a calculation using stay times and area dose rates.

Technical Specification (TS) 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radiation

protection be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be

approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation

protection.

Procedure No. 12 THP 6010 RPP.120, Revision 0, "Issue and Control of

Dosimetry", requires that the individual using an ED confirm that it is operating properly

by ensuring that it is ON prior to RCA entry. Failure to follow the procedure is a violation

of TS 6.11 (VIO 50-315/98006-04; 50-316/98006-04).

The inspectors reviewed the corrective actions documented

in condition report (CR) 97-

3153. Contract RPTs will be trained on the use of the dosimetry readers and will be

required to demonstrate proficiency on them prior to use.

Additionally, an operator aid

was to be developed to provide guidance on the use of the dosimetry readers.

The

inspectors were concerned that none of the corrective actions addressed

the procedural

violation even though the CR identified that no one checked the EDs to verify that they

were on (See Section R7.1).

The inspectors concluded that workers did not check their EDs prior to entering the RCA

to ensure that they were turned on, which is a procedural violation. Acceptable

corrective actions were taken to address the lack of training for contract RPTs who used

the ADR, however, the licensee's review of this matter had not sufficiently considered

the procedural requirement that workers check their EDs.

The inspectors reviewed the November 10, 1997, event in which a worker had a hot

the adequacy of the radiation protection staff's actions, and discussed the event with

applicable members of the RP staff.

On November 10, 1997, a worker exited the protected area through the security gate

house portal monitors. The worker alarmed the monitors twice then went through again

and passed the third time. The worker was not aware at that time that he was required

to notify RP ifthe monitor alarmed twice. The worker was outside the protected area for

only a few minutes before reentering and monitoring again. After again alarming the

monitors, he contacted RP who subsequently identified a hot particle on his head.

Although the RP staff counseled the individual, the licensee was developing further

corrective actions.

Two CRs were written concerning this incident. One regarding the

RP evaluation of the hot particle and the other regarding the workers failure to notify RP

after twice alarming the monitors.

RP performed a thorough investigation as to how the worker was able to exit the RCA

without alarming the personnel contamination monitors (PCM) at the entrance/exit to the

RCA. Using a phantom, the hot particle, and information from the worker, RP

personnel simulated his exit. Results of the simulation indicated that the monitors would

have alarmed 100% of the time ifthe individual was wearing his hard hat.

Based on

these results and discussions with the worker the licensee concluded that the hot

particle got onto the workers head sometime between when he exited the RCA to when

he alarmed the security monitors. The RP staff calculated the worker's shallow dose

equivalent to be about 2.9 rem, which was significantly below the NRC limitof 50 rem.

The worker went from the monitors to the change area in the RPAC, after he had

dressed

he went directly to the gate house.

The RPAC was surveyed and no hot

particles were found. The RP staff stated that they had considered the possibility that

the worker had not worn his hard hat through the monitor at the RCA entrance/exit;

however, this possibility had not been documented

in the CR. RP indicated that they

would consider adding this possibility to the CR.

The inspectors interviewed the worker concerning his not informing RP of the alarms he

had received and he stated that he was not aware of this requirement at the time.

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that procedures

be established,

implemented and

maintained covering activities referenced

in the applicable procedures recommended

in

Appendix "A"of Regulatory Guide 1.33, revision 2, February 1978. Appendix "A"of

Regulatory Guide 1.33, recommends that procedures

be established governing

contamination control activities. Procedure No. 12 PMP 6010 RPP.300, revision 8,

"Contamination Control Program," requires, in part, that ifa contamination alarm is

'J

received a second (validation) count can be performed; and ifa second (VALID)

contamination alarm is received then notify RP (radiation protection) and wait in the

immediate area until RP arrives.

The failure to followthe procedure is a violation of TS 6.8.1. (VIO 50-315/98006-05 and 50-316/98006-05).

Additionally, the inspectors were also concerned that the CR had not been addressed

at

the time of the inspection, although the due date assigned was December 25, 1997.

The work group assigned to complete the investigation were unable to show the

inspectors that any work had been completed towards addressing the CR or to explain

how this had been overlooked.

During the exit meeting, plant management

requested

that RP accept responsibility for completion of this CR.

~Cnclu~si

The workers failure to contact RP after alarming the security gate house portal monitors

is a procedural violation. Additionally, the inspectors were concerned with the

conclusion regarding where the hot particle had come from. The CR concluded that it

had come from o'utside the RCA and even possibly outside the buildings, but did not

address other more likely scenarios.

Further, the inspectors were concerned

that the

CR addressing

the procedural violation had not been responded to at the time of the

inspection.

On February 12, 1998, while observing work being performed in the lower ice condenser

the inspectors identified several workers who were not wearing two sets of gloves as

required by RWP No. 981040.

Additionally, the ice crew workers stated to the

inspectors that this practice had been occurring for two to three weeks.

The inspectors

were concerned that RP had failed to identify this during their walkdowns of the area.

The workers were removing staples from a netting material and indicated that the nature

and detail of the work made wearing two sets of gloves impractical. The inspectors

discussed this with RP management who stated that workers having problems

performing their job while following RWP dress requirements are expected to discuss

the issue with RP management so that the requirement could be re-evaluated.

The job

was stopped and the workers supervisor was counseled.

Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radiation protection

be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and be approved,

maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation protection.

Procedure No. PMP 6010 RPP.006, revision 7, "Radiation Work Permit Program,"

requires, in part, that all personnel are responsible for understanding and complying with

the requirements of the posted revision of the RWP. Failure to followthe procedure is a

violation of TS 6.11 (VIO 50-315/98006-06 and 50-316/98006-06).

The inspectors were concerned with the nature of the above mentioned violation as well

as the violations cited in sections R4.1 and R4.2.

In the aggregate these three

violations indicate a decline in radworker performance.

In addition, the workers had

been disregarding the RWP dress requirements for two to three weeks and RP had

failed to identify this practice.

R7

Quality Assurance in RP&C Activities

The inspectors reviewed five condition reports (CRs) related to events that were

reviewed during this inspection.

Of the five, the inspectors identified concerns with the

following CRs:

CR 97-3153, concerning the workers in the EHRA with their EDs turned

off(section R4.1); CR 97-3204, concerning the licensee's investigation of a hot particle

event (section R4.2); and CR 97-3203, concerning a worker who twice alarmed the

security radiation portal monitors without contacting RP as required (section R4.2).

The specific concerns raised by the inspectors were:

CR 97-3153 did not consider corrective actions specific to the procedural

violation (i.e., that the workers verify that the EDs were operable prior to entering

the RCA);

CR 97-3204 did not fullydocument the licensee's investigation, specifically,

regarding the likelihood of the particle originating from inside the RCA and

whether the worker appropriately monitored via the PCM; and

CR 97-3203 was still open past the assigned due date of December 25, 1997

and the licensee could not determine why it had not been appropriately closed.

Based on these concerns, the inspectors concluded that the licensee was effective at

identifying problems, but was not as effective in resolving and/or documenting them.

This was discussed with licensee management,

who planned to evaluate the issue.

This matter willbe reviewed during a future inspection (IFI 50-315/98006-07; 50-

316/98006-07).

calculations used to determine the workers reportable dose for this hot particle exposure

for 1997. The calculation used 7 milligrams/centimeter'mg/cm') as the density

thickness of the skin of the foot, as required by 10 CFR Part 20, a tube sock was

measured by the licensee and that was determined to have a density thickness of

36.195 mg/cm'. The hot particles were decay corrected for a more accurate

assessment

and the final number assigned to the worker was 51.1 rem. Additionally the

licensee performed the analysis using 40 mg/cm's the density thickness of the foot,

by International Council on Radiation Protection Report 23

(ICRP 23). No density thickness was determined for the sock however an air gap of 1
