Occupational Exposure During Extend'ed Outages (83729)

a.

Unit 2 Refueling Outage

The licensee took the Unit 2 reactor off line September 10, 1988, for

a 81 day routine refueling outage.

Significant work planned for the

end of cycle 9 included the removal and replacement of four

recirculation spray heat exchangers, various non destructive testing,

extensive containment decontamination, eddy current testing on A and

C steam generators, motor inspection on reactor coolant pump

2-RC-P-18, residual heat removal (RHR) pump motor work, and control

rod guide mechanism cable upgrade.

The licensee planned extensive

2

decontamination of Unit 2 containment walls, floors, and components

during the first six days of the outage.

The licensee also removed

insulation on components requiring non-destructive testing and wiped

down exposed piping to lower contamination levels, reduce the need

for extra protective clothing and respirators, and to minimize the

spread of any hot particles.

Unit 1 was taken off line on September 14, 1988, to correct problems

associated with emergency diesel generators, repair a steam generator

tube leak and to replace a failed fuel assembly in its cycle 10 fuel.

The unscheduled shutdown of Unit 1 was impacting the 1 i censee

I s

outage planning and schedule for its Unit 2 refueling during the

inspection.

No violations or deviations were identified.

b.

Organization and Management Controls

The inspectors reviewed the licensee

1 s organization, staffing level

and lines of authority as they related to the outage radiation

protection programs.

The inspectors determined that the licensee had

established a new plant health physics organization.

The previous

health physics organization had two major work sections, technical

services and operations.

The section supervisors, senior staff

health physicist, and ALARA coordinator reported directly to the

Health Physics Superintendent.

The new organization includes four

major work sections that report directly to the Health Physics

Superintendent.

In addition to the technical services section and

operations section, the licensee

1 s health physics group now has a

radiological engineering section and a radwaste/decon section.

The

operations section is responsible for routine health physics shift

coverage and planning and scheduling.

The technical services section

responsibilities include dosimetry, bioassay, counting room and

environmental monitoring, respiratory protection, and instrumentation

programs.

The radwaste/decon section is responsible for facility and

equipment decon, contaminated laundry operations, radioactive waste

movement, and preparation of radioactive material for shipment. The

senior health physicist staff, and the ALARA Coordinator were

assigned to the new health physics supervisor of radiological

engineering.

The purpose of the reorganization was to increase the technical

ability of the plant

1 s health physics staff by adding the

radiological engineering section and to improve management efficiency

in the radwaste/decon section by combining two functions or work

groups, which work closely together, into one section.

In the past,

the licensee has experienced problems in filling professional health

physics positions.

The licensee temporarily assigned a licensed

operator * to supervise the techni ca 1 engineering sec ti on and two

contract health physicist were employed in the section until the

positions could be filled.

The licensee had also assigned a former

3

senior reactor operator shift supervisor to the Radwaste/Decon

Supervisor position temporarily until a permanent selection could be

made.

The licensee also had fourteen vacancies in the decon section

that were filled with contract support personnel.

No violations or deviations were identified.

c.

Training and Qualification

10 CFR 19.12 requires that all individuals working in or frequenting

  • any portion of a restricted area be provided basic radiation

protection training.

'

The inspectors discussed, with licensee and contractor management

personnel, the licensee's program for the evaluation and training of

contract health physics (HP) technicians.

The inspectors also

reviewed Training Administrative Guideline (TAG) 4.2,

11Contract

Health Physics Technician Training,

11 Revision 1.

Resumes of contract technicians were reviewed by the licensee and

independent reference checks performed prior to acceptance of

individuals.

Once onsite, the acceptance of a contract HP technician

was contingent on the successful completion of a series of training

classes, practical factor (job performance measures) sessions, and

associated tests, including 10 CFR Part 20 topics, General Employee

Training (GET) and HP site-specific training.

The site-specific

training also included hot particle training. The inspectors reviewed

the site-specific and GET tests and determined that they included

appropriate topics at an adequate level of difficulty.

Job

Performance Measures were also reviewed.

Selected training records

of contractor HP technicians were reviewed to verify completion of

10 CFR 20 testing, GET, and site-specific training.

Technical Specification 6.1 requires that each member of the facility

staff meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI 3.1-1987 for

comparable positions. Section 4.5.3.2 of ANSI 3.1-1987 requires that

HP technicians have a minimum of two years experience one of which

shall include nuclear power plant experience.

The inspectors

reviewed selected qualification records of contractor HP technicians

and verified that all those reviewed met or exceeded the minimum

experience requirements.

No violations or deviations were identified.

d.

External Exposure Control and Personnel Dosimetry

(1)

10 CFR 20.202 requires each licensee to supply appropriate

personnel monitoring equipment to specific individuals and

requires the use of such equipment.

4

During the inspection, licensee representatives reported an

. unusual dosimetry response to the inspectors.

On the evening of

August 20, 1988, a contractor employee performed a steam

generator (S/G) jump on

11A

11 S/G in Unit 2 to install lamps and

nozzle dams.

The jump consisted of a forty second entry into

the hot leg side and a forty second entry into the cold leg

side.

Upon exiting the hot leg, the individual

1s self-reading

dosimeters (SRDs), located on his head, elbows, chest, groin,

and knees, were read by an HP technician on the S/G platform.

The technician stated that the highest reading, at that time,

was 180 millirem (mrem) from the head SRO.

Since this was well

below the licensee established control limit of 500 mrem for the

job, the SRDs were replaced and the individual was allowed to

enter the cold leg for forty seconds.

Survey data for the cold

leg indicated a maximum contact dose rate of 20 Roentgen/hour

(R/hr) and a general area dose rate of 15 R/hr.

Licensee

personnel stated that the job went as planned with no obvious

abnormal events.

Upon exiting the S/G platform, higher than

expected readings were observed on the individuals SRDs with the

chest reading 800 mrem and the groin area SRO reading 880 mrem.

The thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) packaged with each SRO

and the TLD placed on each wrist were immediately processed.

The maximum dose recorded by the TLDs was 1590 mrem from the

chest TLD.

The TLD exposures were unusually high based on licensee survey

dose rates for the steam generator and the actual measured

exposure time.

Since the jumpers personal dosimetry

measurements were greater than anticipated the licensee halted

the steam generator work and initiated an investigation.

The

investigation included the testing of all TLDs and SRDs used by

the i ndi vi dua 1, multiple re-surveys of the S/G, and interviews

with the individual receiving the unexpected exposure, his

helper 1 ocated at the manway, and the two HP technicians

covering the job.

Licensee representatives stated that, based on the investigation

results, they believe the chest TLD result of 1590 mrem was an

anomalous reading possibly due to prior exposure remaining on

the TLD ribbon after the ribbon's last processing or high

activity surface contamination on the TLD casing.

Therefore,

the 1067 mrem from the right e 1 bow TLD was added to the

individual's whole body dose record.

A review of the

individual

1s NRC Form 4 indicated that he had zero dose for the

quarter prior to his arrival at the site.

Licensee

representatives stated that the individual had received

approximately 17 mrem, based on SRO results, since arriving

onsite.

The

inspectors

discussed,

with

licensee

representatives, the basis for

discounting the chest TLD

results.

5

The licensee's investigative efforts to identify the source of

the abnorma 11 y high exposure, 1590, mrem verses an expected

500 mrem exposure,

routinely observed for nozzle ~am

installation, were unsuccessful.

The inspectors reviewed survey

data, TLD/SRD calibration data, pre-job br1efing documentation,

HP technicians' qualifications, worker GET training, and RWP and

ALARA controls used.

The individual performing the S/G jump,

his helper, and their supervisor were also interviewed by the

inspector.

Inadequate or inappropriate actions by the licensee

which may have led to the elevated exposure where not identified.

During a telephone conversation on September 27, 1988, between

1 i censee representatives and NRC Region II management, the

licensee stated that S/G work would be restarted and delineated

actions which were being taken to preclude recurrence of higher

than norma 1 exposure for S/G work.

Licensee representatives

also stated that corrective actions were currently being planned

for those areas which may have caused the erroneous TLD

response.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(2)

10 CFR 20.203 specifies the posting, labeling and control

requirements for radiation areas, high radiation areas, airborne

radioactivity

areas

and

radioactive material

areas,

and radioactive material. Additional requirements for control of

high radiation areas are contained in Technical Specification 6.4.B.

During tours of the* plant, the inspectors reviewed the

licensee's posting and control of radiation areas, high

radiation areas, airborne radioactivity area, contaminated

areas, radioactive materials areas, and the labeling of

radioactive material.

The inspectors determined that the posting and controls for the

various radiological control areas was adequate to meet

regulatory and procedure requirements.

However, the inspectors

did identify a prob 1 em with the control of contaminated

equipment that is discussed in Paragraph 2.f. of this report.

No violations or deviation were identified.

e.

Internal Exposure Control

(1)

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

engeneeri ng controls to the extent practi cab 1 e, to 1 imit

concentrations of radioactive material in air to levels below

that specified in 10 CFR Part 20 5 Appendix B, Table I, Column 1

or limit concentrations, when averaged over the number of hours

in any week during which individuals are in the area, to less

than 25 percent(%) of the specified concentrations.

6

The use of process and engineering controls to limit airborne

radioactivity concentrations in the plant was discussed with

licensee representatives and the use of such controls was

observed during tours of the plant.

(2)

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

process or engineering controls to limit concentrations of

radioactive material in air below 25% of the concentrations

specified in 10 CFR Part 20 Appendix B, Table 1, Column 1, other

precautionary measures should be used to maintain the intake of

radioactive material by any individual within seven consecutive

days as far below 40 maximum permissable concentration (MPC)

hours as is reasonably achievable.

When the use of respiratory protective equipment is used to

limit the inhalation of airborne radioactive material,

10 CFR 20.103(c) requires the licensee to use respiratory

protection equipment that is certified or had certification

extended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and

Hea 1th Admi ni strati on/Mine Safety and Hea 1th Admi ni strati on

( N IOSH/MSHA) .

MSHA regulations in 30 CFR 11, Subchapter B, Section 11.2(a)

states that respirators, combinations of respirators, and gas

masks shall be approved for use in hazardous atmospheres where

they are maintained in an approved condition and are the same in

all aspects as those devices for which a certificate of approval

has been issued under this part.

During a tour of the licensee's Unit 2 containment on

September 21, 1988, the inspectors observed the 1 i censee

I s

pressure regulator settings on air distribution units for

supplied air respirators (hoods).

Supplied air distribution

system number seven which had been used on a steam generator A

jump the previous day indicated that a pressure setting of

13 psig was required to provide a respirator hood flow of 6 cubic

feet per minute (cfm) and 22 psig for a respirator hood flow of

8 cfm.

Air distribution system units numbers 3 and 5 required

10 psig for 6 cfm and 17 psig for 7 cfm hood flow.

Maximum

hose lengths were not specified on the air distribution units.

The licensee was using hose lengths up to 275 feet.

The inspectors reviewed the NIOSH/MSHA certification for the

licensee's supplied air hood (Approval No. TC-19C-140) and

verified that the range of pressure required to provide for a

flow of 6 cubic feet (ft 3 ) of air per minute to the licensee's

respirator hoods having a supplied air hose length of 25-50 feet

was 20-28 or 20-34 psig, depending on hose fitting used.

Hose

1 engths up to 275 feet required pressures in the range of

38-55 psig.

The pressure ranges were established for the

maximum hose length.

The inspectors also determined that the

e .

7

licensee was utilizing air supplied hoses with the supplied air

hoods that were not approved on the respirator certification.

Failure to operate the supplied air hoods within certified

pressure ranges for length of hose used and to use air supplied

hose not certified for the respirator was identified as an

apparent

violation

of

10 CFR 20.103(c)

requirements

(50-280/88-35-01).

f.

Surveys, Monitoring and Control of Radioactive Material

( 1)

Surveys

10 CFR 20.20l(b) requires each licensee to make or cause to be

made such surveys as (1) may be necessary for the licensee to

comply with the regulations and (2) are reasonable under the

circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that

may be present.

The inspectors reviewed selected records of radiation and

contamination surveys performed during the inspection and

discussed the survey results with licensee representatives. The

inspectors performed independent radiation surveys in the

auxiliary building, radioactive material storage areas, and

Unit 2 containment.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(2)

Control of Contaminated Material

NRC Inspection Report Nos. 50-280/87-35 and 281/87-35 for

inspections conducted in December 1987, identified a violation of

Licensee Procedure HP-2.3, Contamination Equipment and Component

Control, dated February 2, 1987, which specified the requirements

for moving and storing radioactive material and contaminated

equipment.

During the December 1987 inspection, a tour of the

lower elevation of the licensee's auxiliary building was

performed and the inspectors noted that an unlabeled box

contained contaminated material and that the radiation protection

staff was unaware that the gang box was utilized to store

contaminated material.

The

inspectors

reviewed Licensee

Procedure HP-7.1.10,

Radioactive Contra l Program, dated August 29, 1988.

Licensee

Procedure HP-7.1.10 replaced HP-2.3.

The procedure described

the licensee's radioactive material control program including

criteria and requirements for identification, movement and

accountability for radioactive material generated on site or

received as licensed material.

Section 4.3.4 of the procedure

requires that radioactive material be appropriately stored in

such a way that control over the material is maintained and

access is limited only to authorized individuals.

(3)

8

While touring the basement of the auxiliary building on

September 19, 1988, the inspectors noticed a gang box that was

labeled Radioactive Material.

The inspectors opened the box

which was unlocked and noted that the box contained yellow poly

bags of tools and equipment.

Some of the bags were sealed with

tape and labeled radioactive material and had survey results

written on the bag a 1 ong with the date of survey and the

surveyors initials.

However, some of the bags were not sealed

and others contained material that did not have survey results

marked on the plastic bag containers. Through discussions with

1 i censee representatives, the inspectors determined that the

licensee did not have control of contaminated tools and equipment

that were being placed in and removed from the radioactive

material storage box as required by licensee procedures.

The

inspectors requested that the gang box contents be surveyed.

The

survey results indicated that the box was contaminated up to

14,000 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per 100 square

centimeters (cm 2 ).

Items in open bags had smearable

contamination up to 12,000 dpm/cm 2 and dose rates up to 6 mrem

per hour.

Failure to comply with 1 i censee procedures for

controlling contaminated material was identified as an apparent

violation of Technical Specification 6.4.D (50-280/88-35-02).

The licensee's response to the Notice of Violation contained in

Inspection Report No. 50-280/87-35 included labeling the box as

a radioactive material storage area and committing to perform

periodic inspections of radiological material storage areas to

ensure that the areas and containers were properly controlled.

The

specific corrective action identified in the licensee's response

appeared not to be effective in that the same box was involved

in the apparent violation described in this report.

The

licensee did initiate corrective action during the inspection by

placing health physics controlled locks on all radioactive

storage lockers.

Lost Strontium 90 Source

During the inspection the inspectors were notified of a missing

radioactive source that had been identified during a routine

inventory and radioactive material 1 eak check for 1 i censed

sources.

The 1 ost source was documented in a Surry Power

Station Deviation Report dated September 16, 1988.

The missing

source was a small button, 0.5 microcurie (uCi), Strontium

(Sr-90) source used in routine response checks of various

process radiation monitors.

The inspectors determined that the

1 i censee had attempted to find the source and was unab 1 e to

determine where the source could have been lost. The licensee

concluded that the source had last been checked out and returned

in March 1988.

The source was normally kept in a small lead

shield with a Cs-137 source which was al so used as a check

source.

The source 1 og book showed the Cs-137 source was

e

9

checked out several times since the Sr-90 source was last

documented to be in the radioactive source locker.

The licensee

interviewed each of the individuals that had checked out the

Cs-137 source and the investigations were inconclusive.

The

1 icensee documented in the deviation report that the Sr-90

source was probably discarded as radioactive waste.

The

licensee also concluded that the lost source did not present a

substantial health hazard to persons in unrestricted areas and

was therefore not reportable in accordance with the requirements

specified in 10 CFR 20. 402.

The inspectors and a 1 i censee

representative checked the response of the licensee's personnel

contamination monitoring instrumentation to a O .09 uCi Sr-90

source.

The lesser activity Sr-90 source alarmed the whole body

friskers at the RCA exit point, any standard portable

contamination monitor, and the portal monitors located at the

guard house exit point.

The checks indicated that it was

unlikely that an individual removed the source from the plant

through the normal personnel exit points.

No violations or deviations were identified.

g.

Facility Statistics

(1)

Personnel Exposure

The annual collective radiation dose through September 20, 1988,

was 90.674 person-rem based on TLD and SRO data.

Licensee

representatives stated that no individuals had exceeded

10 MPC-hours in ten consecutive days or 40 MPC-hours in a

quarter.

(2)

ALARA

The licensee had established a collective radiation dose goal for

1988 of 1468.470 person-rem.

As of September 18, 1988, the

plant was at 102% of the estimated goal for that point in the

year.

For the most recent Unit 1 outage, in spring of 1988, a

collective dose goal of 629.600 person-rem was established.

Actual dose total for the outage was 705.747 person-rem.

For

the Unit 1 outage, 213 jobs required ALARA pre-planning.

Of

those jobs, 54 exceeded the estimated collective dose and 159

were below the estimated collective dose.

The current Unit 2

outage co 11 ecti ve dose goa 1 was 566 .160 person-rem.

As of

September 18, 1988, 37.320 person-rem had been expended for the

outage.

(3)

Contamination Control

As of September 1, 1988, 24,075 square feet (ft 2 ) within the

RCA,

excluding containment buildings, was controlled as

10

contaminated area.

This was approximately 25% of the total

92,000 ft 2 within the RCA.

In 1987, 493 personnel contaminations (174 skin and 319 clothing)

were observed at the plant.

As of September 21, 1988,

397 personne 1 contaminations had occurred.

The 1 i censee has

established a goal of having fewer than 440 personnel

contaminated in 1988.

(4)

Solid Waste

Licensee representatives stated that 24 waste shipment (21 Class

A, 1 Class B, and 2 Class C) had been shipped to waste

collectors or burial sites through September 21, 1988.

This

included 1145.5 ft3 (163.1 curies) of processed resins and

14,096.3 ft 3 (9.4 curies) of dry active waste.

As of

September 21, 1988, 1,470 ft 3 of dry active waste and 112 ft3 of

liquid process filters was being stored on site awaiting

shipment.

No violations or deviations were identified.

(Closed)

Inspector Followup Item (IFI) 50-280/87-24-01 and

50-281/87-24-01:

Review the licensee's controlling document that

described the licensee's personnel dosimetry program.

The inspectors

reviewed 1 i censee procedure HP-3 .1.1 Externa 1 Exposure Centro 1

Program revision dated July 27, 1988, and determined that it

adequately described and made reference to documents that describe the

licensee's personnel dosimetry program.

(Closed) Unresolved Item 50-280/87-35-02 and 50-281/87-35-02:

The

Quality Assurance (QA) evaluation and actions for a potential

10 CFR 20 violation for issuing respirators to persons not meeting

the qualification and training requirements was reviewed during the

inspection.

During a previous inspection, the inspectors determined

that a licensee QA Audit S-87-19 conducted in July 1987, identified

severa 1 examples of persons issued res pi raters when training and

qualification records could not be located.

The Quality Assurance

Audit listed the potential 10 CFR 20 violations as

11 concerns

11 in its

report.

The records for all persons listed in the report were found

during an NRC inspection conducted in December, 1987.

During the

previous inspection, the inspectors were unable to determine if

Quality Assurance requirements had been satisfactory met.

The inspectors determined that the licensee was in compliance with

the existing quality assurance program procedures that were in place

during the previous NRC inspection. The inspectors also determined

that the QA "concerns" had been placed in a station corrective action

program after the Quality Assurance Report S-87-19 was issued.

--

e

11

However, the 1 i censee' s qua 1 ity assurance organization recognized

that the failure to include potential regulatory requirement

violations in its quality assurance corrective action program to

ensure timely corrective action was a program weakness.

The

inspectors determined that the Quality Assurance Program Procedure,

Quality Assurance Instruction Nuclear Audits-18, in place during the

licensee's audit S-87-19, had been revised in July 1988. The revised

procedure requires identified program deficiencies and

or

nonconformances to be identified and documented as

11fi nd i ngs

II that

would be officially tracked in the quality assurance corrective

action program to ensure timely completion.

c.

(Closed) IFI 50-280/87-35-03 and 50-281/87-35-03 Review criteria or

guidelines that could be used to initiate an investigation of

abnorma 1 TLD results.

The inspectors reviewed licensee procedure

Personnel Dosimetry - Dosimetry Issuance and Dose Determination,

revision dated July 27, 1988, and verified that the 1 i censee had

established criteria to investigate unusual dosimetry results.

d.

(Closed) IFI 50-280/87-35-04 and 50-281/87-35-04:

Review procedures

to test off-scale, dropped and found SRD's prior to re-issuance. The

inspectors verified that the licensee had changed dosimetry

procedures to remove from service a 11 off-sea 1 e dosimeters and

require a drift test and response check prior to their reissuance.

e.

(Closed) IFI 50-280/87-35-05 and 50-281/87-35-05:

Review the

licensee's controls for ensuring that Health Physics Procedures at

specific work locations were controlled copies.

The inspectors

verified that the licensee had implemented a document control system

for ensuring controlled copies of Health Physics Procedures were

maintained

by

reviewing the licensee's issue and receipt

documentation for procedure revisions.

However, the process was not

yet proceduralized.

The licensee plans to have the document control

procedure issued by the end of 1988.

4.

Exit Interview

The inspection scope and results were summarized on September 23, 1988,

with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above.

The inspectors

described the areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection

findings listed below.

The licensee did not identify as proprietary any

of the material provided to or reviewed by the inspectors during this

inspection.

The 1 i censee took exception to the discussed violation concerning the

control of contaminated materi a-1.

Licensee representatives commented that

the violation was similar to a violation already issued in Inspection

Report No.- 50-280/87-35 and that if the initial response provided by the

licensee for that violation was not adequate the NRC should have notified

the 1 icensee that the proposed corrective action was inadequate.

The

inspector acknowledged the licensee's comments.

e

12
