Occupational Exposure (83750)

a.

Audits and Appraisals

Technical Specification (TS) 6.1.C.3. a requires audits of facilities

to be performed under the cognizance of the Quality Assurance (QA)

Department encompassing conformance of facility operation to

provisions within TSi.and applicable license conditions; at least

once per 12 *mon.ths for the *Radiological Environmental Monitoring

Program, and once every 24 months for the Process Control Program,

Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, and implementing procedures.

The inspectors reviewed the following audits and discussed the

findings with licensee representatives:

0

0

0

S89-19, Radiation Protection Program, April 21, 1989

S90-03, Radiological Environmental Monitoring/Offsite

Dose Calculation Manual, February 12, 1990

2

The inspectors found the audits *to be well planned, comprehensive,

and adequately documented.

Responsible departments were required to

respond to each finding identified and complete appropriate actions

to resolve the finding.

The inspectors noted that QA not only

performed followup on all corrected findings, but, in a majority of

cases, reverification at a later date found that the finding had not

recurred.

Findings that were not easily resolved were placed on the

station Commitment Tracking List for resolution.

The inspectors

found the licensee program for self-identification and resolution of.

problems to be a program strength.

b.

Training and Qualification

The licensee is required by 10 CFR 19.12 to provide radiation

protection training to workers.

TS 6.1.B requires that each member

of the facility staff meet or exceed the minimum qualification of

ANSI NI8.1-1971 and Regulatory Guides 8.13, 8.27, and 8.29 outlines

topics that should be included in such training.

The inspectors discussed training of licensee and contractor

personnel in radiological controls with licensee representatives.

In

1989, the licensee initiated Advanced Radiation Worker (ARW) training

.for workers as one element of becoming a qualified maintenance team

  • -:* member.

Quality maintenance teams were comprised of personnel that

were qualified to. perform certain inspection and radiological

functions independently.

Classroom and on-t_he-job traini-ng require

one week after which time the ARW candidate was requireq to pass a

written examination on the material presented.

In addition, the

licensee started a pilot training program to include contractors

in ARW training.

A licensee representative stated that since the

inception of the program, 85. percent of maintenance personnel have

been qualified as ARWs.

The inspector attended a portion of the

classroom ARW training and noted that the material presented was

practical and covered subjects such as how to perform all types of

radiological surveys, respiratorY-:Pr<>tection, changes in radiological

conditions and radiation instrument-qtialification~

The inspectors also attended portions of two classroom training

  • sessions for health physics (Hp.)?te~~n*:ician. ba~ic -training/ahµ_ for

entries into containment when sub-atmospheric.

The. inspectors noted

that the instructor~ presented material effectively, training aids

were good, as were the lesson _plans and instructor guides __ used for

the 1 ecture.

.

In discussions with the Operations Supervisor and Superintend~nt of

Radiation Protection, the inspectors learned that the six .HP

supervisors had each visited a different facility to gain a broader

knowledge of licensee radiation protection programs.

The inspectors

were* informed that this had benefited the program and that HP, which

3

is organized into six shifts, with one shift in training all the

time, had committed to send entire training shifts to other utilities

to observe their radiation protection program for a week.

Each

training shift consisted of a shift *supervisor. and five HP

technicians.

To .date two of the six shifts have completed their

visits to different utilities.

The inspectors determined that the

licensee training program conti"nued to improve performance at the

station and received good managefuent support.

c.

Outage Planning and Preparation

The inspecto*rs reviewed the planning and preparation by _the Radiation

Protection Department for the nine week refueling/maintenance outage

scheduled to start in October 1990.

Licensee representatives stated

that in parallel with refueling, *major \\l!Ork to be .performed included:

inservice inspection, valve repair, steam generator primary and

secondary maintenance, fuel transfer cart overhaul, and cavity seal

replacement.

HP was preparing radiation work permlts (RWPs) and

planned to have over_ 1,000 ready for the outage start date.

H.P

personnel preparing RWPs were required to use a new*standard set of

codes for RWP instructions to ensure a consistency among personnel

preparing RWPs and consisting of job site requirements.

  • To con.trol

the outage work scope, the licensee placed a freeze on accepting any

design change packages after July 19, 1990 ~

Licensee personne 1

further stated that to reduce .collective dose . during the Unit 1

outage, plans called for. increased.borationduring hydrogen peroxide

injection,* increased use of temporary shielding and nioldable

shielding, hot spot and system flushes, and better coritrol of worker

dose using digital alarming dosimeters.

d.

External Exposure Contra l

10 CFR 20~202 requires each licensee to supply appropriate personnei

.monitorin[ equipment to specific individuals.and requires the use of

such equipment.

During tours of the Auxiliary Building*, the inspectors _observed the

use of digital alarming dosimeters _(DADs)~

Individuals, wore. the

DADs on the outside of the prote*c:tive .:clothing whichJillowed:' for.

frequent monitoring of their dose.

licensee representatives stated

that workers had become more conscious of dose rates due to alarm set

points used, and that for some repetitive jobs the collective dose

for workers had been lower than when the DADs were tiot used.

The inspectors surveyed radiation levels and contamination -levels in

the auxiliary buildi.ng over a three day period.

When compared, the

inspectors' measurements- were in agreement with licensee surveys and

postings.

The inspectors al so reviewed RWPs for appropriate

radiological job protection requirements and monitored the Auxiliary

Building for unlocked very high radiation doors.

No discrepancies

were identified.

Internal Exposure Control (83750)

(1)

Respiratory Protection

10 CFR 20.103(b) requires the licensee to use process or other

engineering controls to the extent practical, to limit

concentration of radioactive material in air to levels below

that specified in 10 CFR Part *20, Appendix B, Table 1, Column 1.

10 CFR 20.103(b) also requires that when it is impracticable to

apply process or other engineering controls to limit

concentrations of radioactive material, other precautionary .

procedures shall be used.

The precautionary procedures include

respiratory protective equipment.

The inspectors verified that the licensee issued respirators for

use after determining the user's training and qualifications for

the type of respirator issued; the date of.last medical review;

the user's respirator fit testing date; in-vivo bioassay

results,

and

the

user's total

maximum

permissible

concentration-hours. (MPC-hrs) in the last seven days.

The

inspector toured the respirator fit testing facility and

observed two individuals being tested~ The licensee utilized an

automated fit testin*g* apparatus (Dynatech System 2000) which

automatically determined an average fit factor after cycling the

respirator user through six different exercises (normal

breathing, deep breathing, move head side to side, move head up

and down, talking, and frown or laugh).

After a selected

records review of individuals who had been exposed to

concentrations of radioactive material during 1990 and

discussions with licensee representatives, it was determined

that no individual had been exposed to concentrations of

radioactive material greater than 40 mpc-hours.

(2)

Internal Assessment

10 CFR 20.103(a) requires the licensee to perform appropriate

bioassays and assess intakes of radioactivity.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for frt-vitro

bioassays, * including procedure HP-5.2B.30, "Collection and

Analysis of Urine and Fecal Sa~ples,

11 dated December 12, 1985.

The licensee had a routine sample collection program for urine.

Twice a year approximately 30 individuals are randomly selected

from six different departments and are requested to supply a

urine sample [operations (8), mechanical (8), instrumentation

(4), electrical (4), chemistry (2), and health physics (6)].

Non-routine samples are* collected on a case-by-case basis

depending on whole body counting (WBC) results. and/or the

nature of the event.

5

In addition, the inspectors reviewed the WBC equipment and

operation, and discussed counting, calibration, and quality

control (QC) checks with equipment users.

Approximately eight

months ago, the litensee purchase a Nuclear Data (ND) stand-up

counter [People Mover (trademark)].

A major equipment

acquisition of this nature was considered a significant program

improvement.

The licensee still maintained a ND chair system as

back-up .. The license's stand-up unit provided rapid screening

capabilities and the capability to quantify the body burden of

radioactive materiar, however it only provided crude activity

localization capabilities.

The inspectors reviewed calibration

data and associated records for the stand-up WBC which was

performed on December 22, 1989.

The calibration was performed

in accordance with HP-5.2B.62,

11Whole Body Counter Calibration

Standup and Chair/ND9900,

11 dated December 21, 1989.

The

inspectors reviewed the efficiency plots for the upper and lower

detectors and observed no anomalies.

The license used National

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified

calibration sources (Mn-54, Cs-134, Cs-137, Co-60, Ba-133,

I-131).

The licensee indicated that the standup unit would not.

be calibrated annually, however it would be recalibrated only

after the unit failed its QC test.

This practice was a.

departure from the normal practice of performing an*. annual

calibration.

It was noted that the licensee**had a rather

comprehensive QC Program.

The licensee performed QC data checks

one per shift via HP-5.2B.42,

11Whole Body Counter Startup and

Performance Checks,

11 dated December 21, 1989.

The inspector

reviewed QC data accumulated during 1990 including energy

calibration, centroid determination, efficiency check, and

resolution (full-width-half-maximum) check.

The licensee used

an Eu-152 source to perform the quality control checks. If any

of the QC parameters failed the control limits of+/- two sigma of

the parameter mean value several times then a recalibration of

the system would be performed.

In addition to tracking the QC

parameters noted above, the licensee also performed a background

check one per shift.

There ~~re no obvious.problems_as~ociated

with the QC data.

The QC: and calibration records were*:well

organized and maintained.

During the review, it was noted that

the licensee did not participate in a formal cross-check

program.

The last cross-check was performed in the third

quarter 1987.

The licensee's bioassay action levels were described in

HP-5.2B.11,

11 Bioassay Data Evaluation and Followup," dated

December 12, 1985.

Based on discussions with the licensee and

selected records review there were no WBC results which*exceeded

the* action levels prescribed in HP-5.2B.11 within the last

12 months.

The licensee's 1owest action level is a maximum

permissible organ burden (MPOB) greater than or equal to

5 percent.

It was noted, however, that during an airborne

f.

6

radioactivity event in the Auxiliary Building on March 26, *1990,

several individuals had uptakes with measurable MPOB's tanging

from 1.1 - 2.1 percent MPOB.

This event was dcicumented in. IR

50-280, 50-281/90-18.

The inspectors reviewed HP-5.2B.11 to

determine what actions the licensee would take at the various

action levels of 5 percent, 10 percent, 25 percent, and

50 percent MPOB.

The procedure was cumbersome, and it appeared

difficult to use if an analyst was required to take appropriate

action for a particular action level.

The i.nspectors and

licensee representatives discussed the use of a matrix or flow

chart in order*to better define the action levels and streamline

the appropriate actions.

The inspectors had no further

questions.

Maintaining Dose ALARA

10 CFR 20.l{c) states that persons engaged in activi'ties under

licensees issued by the NRC should make every reasonable effort to

maintain radiation exposures ALARA.

The recommended elements of an

ALARA program were contained in Regulatory Guides 8.8, "Information

Relevant to Ensuring that Occupational Radiation Exposure at Nuclear

Power Stations will be ALARA," and Regulatory Guide 8.10, "Operating

Philosophy for Maintaining Occupational Exposure ALARA.11

The inspectors reviewed the 1 i censee' s program for ma i nta i n*i ng .

occupational radiation dose to workers a.s low as reasonably .

achievable.

The licensee established a goal of 607 person-rem, or

less, for 1990. Through July 18, 1990, the licensee's projection for

collective dose was 111.241 person-rem and actual collective dose was

95.611 person-rem; .14.1 percent below projection.

Licensee

representatives stated that they were confident that they would

remain under the dose projected through the Unit 1 outage.

Also,

that a number of initiatives taken this year, in response to NRC

identified ALARA issues and self-identified changes. to the* station's

ALARA program, were responsible for being under the projected

collective dose.

Examples of self-identified changes incl~ded

eliminating the buddy system for locked high radiation gate'entries,

individual exposure tracking sheets that are filed out for :workers

exceeding 5 mrem for the day, revision of RWPs to reduce unijecessary

radiation surveys, use of remote .television cameras, reduction of*

hot spots, high radiation, and contaminated areas.

The licensee had increased the ALARA staff with the additior(-0f two

experienced HP technicians and were working closely with newly

appointed department ALARA coordlnators.

The ins~ectors noted that

the ALARA coordinator was actively involved with ALARA meetings among

Region II utilities as well as on the national level.

The

inspectors determined that station collective dose was being managed

by plant management and supervision and the station's overall program

. was effective; however, source term reduction was still the *major

challenge for Surry 1 and 2.

Licensee representatives discussed a *

7

draft five year source term reduction plan with the inspectors and

stated that a meeting was scheduled at the corporate level on Aug,,ust

15, 1990, to establish priorities and make task assignments.

g.

Solid Waste (84722)

10 CFR 20.311 (d)(l) requires that any generating license who

transfers radioactive waste to a land disposal facility prepare all

waste so that the waste is classified according to 10 CFR 61.55 and

meets the waste characteristic requirements of 10 CFR 61.56.

.

.

The

inspectors

reviewed

radioactive waste

classification

documentation for selected radioactive waste shipments made in 1990

and determined that the waste had been properly classified and met

the waste characteristic requirements.

The licensee used a.

vendor-supplied computer program (RADMAN)* which processed input

information obtained from a package of waste to determine package's

waste classification and transportation type.

The program identified

the non-gamma emitters based on the site-specific scaling factors for

the particular waste steam from which the waste was generated.

The

program correlated radiation levels and activity contents as .a

function of time and generated a form for use in preparing shipping

papers .

During tours of the. licen~ee's waste processing areas and thro~gh*

interviews with radwaste personnel, the inspectors observed that:the

licensee had adequate provisions for the onsite storage of radwaste.

The licensee had established a temporary low level radwaste storage

facility which was used to store low specific activity (LSA) material

in boxes and 55 gallon drums.

At the time of this inspection, the

licensee had stored a collective total of approximately 1.25 curies

of LSA material in the facility.

In addition, the licensee has.

stored onsite four 55 gallon drums of mixed waste containi~g oil,

kerosene and water with measurable quantities of lead, chromium,.

cadmium, and cesium-134, -137 and coba1t-60.

The licensee was

awaiting guidance from the Commonweath of Virginia with regard to

obtaining a storage permit for the mixed waste until final

disposition was determined.

The inspectors observed that the)icensee's current *waste.processing

activities were limited to dewatering resins and filters in

preparation for shipment directly to Barnwell and sorting _and

segregating dry active waste (PAW) for shipment to an offsite

supercompaction facility.

The inspector and licensee representatives toured the New Radwaste

Facility (NRF) still under construction at the Surry Site.

The

licensee indicated that the construction was approximately 90 percent

complete.

System testing was scheduled to begin in April 1991.

The

following processing systems were located at the NRF:

(1) liquid

  • waste system; (2) laundry drain system; (3) DAW System; (4) Spent

ion-exchange resin handling system; and (5) asphalt solidification

system.

In addition, the NRF will have storage capability for

containers of primary resins and filters.

h.

Shipping of Low-Level Wastes for Disposal and Transportation

10 CFR 71.5 requires that licensees who transport licensed material

outside the confines of its plant or other places of use, or who

deliver licensed material to a carrier for transport to comply with

the applicable requirements of the regulations appropriate to the

mode of transport of the Department of Transportation (DOT) in *

49 CFR Parts 170 through 189 ..

The inspectors reviewed the records of selected shipments of

radioactive material and radioactive waste performed in 1990.

The

shipping manifests examined were prepared in accordance with

49 CFR 170-189 and 10 CFR 20.311 requirements.

The radiation and

contamination survey results were within the limits specified for the

mode of transport and shipment classification.

Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the shipping records associated

with radioactive materials shipment SH-1989-064. * In that shipment,

three pressurizer safety valves were shippe.d in a DOT Specification

7A package.

The *inspectors reviewed records of the licensee's

determinations that the package had been fabricated in accordance

with an approved design as specified in DOT specifications and that

the licensee had on file the documentation of an engineering

evaluation and testjng demonstrating that the package met those

specifications as required by 49 CFR 173.415(a).

The inspectors reviewed the applicable procedures which incorporated

quality control checks

to ensure the appropriate waste

classification, stability characteristics and manifest reporting were

reviewed prior to each shipment.

In genera 1 , the procedures were adequately deta i 1 ed to ensure

compliance the applicable requirements.

The inspector discussed with

licensee representatives the new Hazardous Materials Regulations

(HMR) for emergency response information on shipping papers, and

placement of emergency response* information on vehicles and at

transportation facilities.

Although the licensee was aware of the

new requirements, the licensee had not incorporated the new

requirements in the procedures since the new HMRs have not become

effective.

The* inspectors also reviewed the quality assurance audits and

assessments that focused on radioactive waste control shipments

(S90-03, 3/30/90:

Radiological Environmental Monitoring, ODCM and

PCP).

Discussions were held with the station QA audit supervisor and

the lead auditor for conducting the audits of waste processing and

transportation.

The audit was found to be well planned and well

documented, containing items of substance relating to the

radwaste/transporation program.

The reports of audits findings to

management were also reviewed and found to contain responsive

  • commftments by management to effectively *corrective actions for the

few* deficiencies which had been noted.

The inspectors reviewed records.and interviewed radwaste_personnel to

determine if any transportation incidents had occurred within the

last year.

The licensee indicated that there had been no violations

cited by the State of South Carolina for radwaste shipments made to

Barnwell during the past 12 months.

The inspectors a 1 so reviewed the training program for personne 1

involved in radwaste and shipping.

The inspectors- reviewed selected

.portions o_f the training records of three radwaste specialists and

the supervisor.

It was noted that the individuals received .. ,

specialized training in radioactive waste packaging, transportat_,ion,

disposal, and classification from a vendor (Chem;...Nuclear ",Sy'sJeins,

Inc.).

Based on the records review individuals recefved' 'this

training approximately once per year.

In additlon,. ~iri-:h*ouse *,:

continuing training was provided in the area of vehicle loading

requirements, waste cl ass ifi cation, radioactive waste management, *

radioactive material control, packaging, and transportation~~iAll*of

the radwaste specialists were scheduled to receive addit:fonal**

specialized and continuing training before the end of calendar year

1990..

No violations or deviations were identified.

Attion of Previous Inspection Findings (92701, 92702)

a.

(Closed) VIO 50-280/89-24-04 and 50-281/89-24-04:

In August 1989,

the licensee experienced two separate events where licensee personnel

failed to adhere to station radiation protection requirements when

entering a high radiation area.

These events were pr~ceded by four

similar events in May ~nd June.

b.

The licensee subsequently took the following corrective actions to

resolve the violations and have not experienced recurrence.

(1) All station personnel (1150) were required to attend training-

sessions by plant and upper management on management

expectations of worker compliance with radiation protection

requirements and access requirements for high radiation areas.

(2)

Personnel involved in the violations received disciplinary

actions.

(3)

A human factors analysis of the problem resulted in the purchase

of, and use of

11 talking

11 high radiation warning signs for the

applicable areas.

(4)

The event descriptions and ~oot causes, as well as, corrective

actions were added to general Employee Training material and the

events were discussed at safety meetings.

(Closed) !FI 50-280, 50-281/89-24-06:

Followup on licensee

evaluation of differences in dosimetry readouts.

On August 17, 1989, the licensee informed a resident inspector that a

maintenance worker received a radiation dose in excess of* his

assigned *adminstrative 1 imit when_.working on a check valve in: the*

Unit 2 containment.* The exposure was r~c:orded onthe'worker's .gonad_

dosimetry as being approximately 821 mrem. * Thi"s dose, *when added to

the worker's previous exposure, totaled 1802 mrem for the quarter; 52

mrem higher than the assigned administrative limit of 1750 mrem.

The

1 i censee conducted an investi gatiori **;nto the exposure and concluded

that all actions* taken by the mechailcs and HP technicians on the job

were appropriate.

The licensee further concluded that all-personnel

i nvo 1 ved were familiar with the exposure rates in the . area. and

responded proactively to staytime limits and SRO readings.

Howe~er,

the licensee was in the process of evaluating the differences between

the readings of the SRDs and the TLDs when the report period ended.

The inspector reviewed the .licensee's evaluation,

11 SRD and TLD

Correlations" dated September 15, 1989.

The licensee concluded that

the self-reading dosimeters (SRO) in use at the station were

apparently performing as designed.

This conclusion was supported by

the fact that the average percent difference for all 75 discrepancies

11

associated with the exposure event of August 17, 1989 was 9 percent.

This average compared favorably to the 10 percent criteria used when

SRDs were tested for accuracy and compared to TLD measurements.

The

largest observed difference was 22 percent which was still within the*

30 percent correlation criteria described in H.P.-5.1.30,

11Dosimetry

Processing and Dose Determinations.

c.

(Closed) IFI 88FRP-08: HP Supervisor Visitation tfr Sites of Superior

HP Performances

The licensee sought to increase HP supervisors expertise level and

standards by visiting sites where radiation protection performance

was considered good.

The licensee has completed sending all six HP supervisors to

different sites and now is sending the HP supervisor and training

shift (5 HP technicians) to six additional sites.

This item is considered closed.

(Closed) IFI 50-280/89-03 and 50-280/88-49-03:

Followup on Action

Plan Developed to Improve Station Activities, Planning, and

Management.

Based on revie\\'1s of Inspection Reports regarding Surry's Radiation

Protection Program and discussions with region based inspectors and

resident inspectors, RII Management has determined that satisfactory

progress has been made and that radiation protection activities at

Surry now warrant only routine, rather than special attention.

Exit Interview

The inspectors and Chief, Facilities Radiation Protection Section, met

with licensee representatives denoted in Paragraph 1 at the conclusion of

the inspection on July 20, 1990.

The inspectors summarized the.scope and

findings of the inspection with licensee management_ *. No dissenting

comments were received from the licensee.

The licensee did not identify,

as proprietary, any of the materials provided to, or reviewed by the

inspectors during the inspection.

Licensee management was informed that

the items in Paragraph 3 were considered closed.
