that the corrective action specified in the response had been taken.

4.

Occupation Exposure During Extended Outages (83729)

a.

Unit 2 Snubber Outage

The licensee took the unit two reactor offline on December 8, 1987,

after a utility record of 248 straight days on line.

The unit was

taken offline for a 12 day outage to include work on snubbers and

miscellaneous valves, repair a cracked letdown line, repair a

residual heat removal RHR pump and motor, and replace a containment

ventilation fan.

The* outage,. originally scheduled to begin in

October, had been delayed due to unplanned outages at other utility

facilities.

The licensee brought in approximately 40 contract health

physics technicians to support the outage work.

Containment vacuum

was broken on December 9 and preparations for containment work,

surveys, shi el ding, and the positioning of equipment began that

afternoon.

The stations ALARA man-rem goal was set for 719 man-rem.

The

licensee had about 600 man-rem total before the outage work began and

had set an outage goal of about 60 man-rem.

The licensee expected

..

L --~--

3

the RHR pump and motor replacement to be the highest dose task for

the outage which was projected to account for about 6 man-rem.

No violations or deviations were identified.

b.

Unit Two Containment

The inspector accompanied.two mechanical maintenance personnel and a

contract health physics technician into the licensee's unit two

containment building to observe. a gasket replacement on a chemical

volume control system (CVCS) valve.

Radiation Work Permit '(RWP)

87-RWP-2161 had been prepared for the gasket replacement task.

The

gasket replacement involved three crafts:

the insulators who had

already removed the insulation, the electricians who had also

disconnected valve controller cable and the mechanical maintenance

personne 1 who wou 1 d open the va 1 ve and rep 1 ace the gasket.

The

inspector reviewed the radiation work permit requirements for

appropriateness based on the work scope, location, and conditions and

verified that the RWP had been properly approved.

10 CFR 20.lc states that persons engaged in activities under licenses

issued by the NRC should make every reasonable effort to maintain

radiation exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).

The

recommended elements of an ALARA program are contained in Regulatory

Guide 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 Radiation Exposures ALARA .

. An ALARA job briefing had been conducted with the licensee employees

working on the eves valve the previous day.

The inspector reviewed

the ALARA prejob briefing documentation and ALARA job requirements

for the valve work.

The inspector determined through interviews with

the mechanical maintenance workers, assigned to the task, that the

mechanical maintenance section had also discussed job requirements

again that morning to ensure all of the needed tools and equipment

were in hand prior to entry into containment.

10 CFR 20.103(a) established the limits for exposure of individuals

to concentrations of radioactive materials in air in restricted

areas.

This section also requires that suitable measurements of

concentrations of radioactive materials in air be performed to detect

and evaluate the airborne radioactivity in restricted areas and that

appropriate biossays be performed to detect and assess individual

intakes of radioactivity.

10 CFR 20.103(c)(2) requires that the licensee maintain and implement

a respiratory protection program that includes, as a minimum, written

procedures regarding supervision and training of personnel, issuance

records, and evaluation by a physician prior to initial use of

4

respirators, and at 1 east every 12 month thereafter, that the

individual user is physically able to use the respiratory protective

equipment.

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

such surveys as maybe necessary for the licensee to comply with the

regulations and are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate

the extent of radiation hazards that my be present.

10 CFR 20.40l(b)

requires a 1 i censee to maintain records s 1 owing the results of

surveys required by 20.20l(b).

The inspector was not respirator qualified by the licensee and was

not allowed to wear a respirator or enter containment on 87-RWP-2161.

The inspector was able to observe all work from a distance on another

radiation work permit written for inspections inside containment.

The valve work area was approximately twenty foot away from the

inspector who was located directly under a containment ventilation

exhaust duct.

Radiation surveys and surveys of radioactivity in air

were made in the inspector's observation area.

The inspector

observed the 1 i censee maintenance employees wearing respirators

unbolt and lift the valve bonnet from the value seat, remove the

gasket, take seal measurements, and lower the valve bonnet rinto its

seat.

The task was efficiently completed in minutes.

The valve was

not put back together since the gasket was not to be replaced until

the 1 i censee had reviewed the sea 1 measurements made by the

maintenance workers later that day.

While the mechanical maintenance

personnel were working on the valve the health physics technician

monitored the workers activities.

The inspector observed the health

physics technician performing direct gamma and beta radiation surveys

of the valve internals and surrounding area, smearable contamination

surveys of the valve internals, and airborne radioactive material

surveys.

The inspector reviewed the results of surveys made by the

health physics technician covering the job and verified that the

survey records were properly completed.

The air sample results

showed the air activity to be well below the concentrations required

to calculate maximum permissible concentration hours (MPC-Hours).

The inspector reviewed licensee* procedure RPM-7,

Full Face

Respirators Issuance Wearing and Removal, dated June 1, 1978.

The

training records, respirator fit test data, and medical

qualifications for workers who had worked on 87-RWP-2161 were

reviewed by the inspector and verified that all required training and

medical evaluations had been completed and documented.

The inspector

toured all elevations of containment and made independent radiation

surveys of radiation and high radiation areas.

The inspector

observed the use of lead shielding in various locations and the use

of portable continuous air samplers.

During the tour the inspector

observed employees checking valve alignments and making preparations

to drain systems.

No violations or deviations were identified.

c.

Control of Radioactive Material

Technical Specification 6.4.D requires that radiation control

procedures be followed.

Licensee Procedure HP 2.3, Contaminated Equipment and Component

Control, revision dated February 2, 1987 specifies the requirements

for moving and storing radioactive material and contaminated

equipment.

During tours of the fuel building, yard buildings, and auxiliary

building, the inspector observed stored radioactive material in

accordance with the requirements of HP 2.3.

While touring the

basement of the auxiliary building the inspector discovered a gang

box which was unlocked.

The inspector opened the box and found

several open yellow poly bags with a radiation symbol and the words

"Caution Radioactive Material" printed on the sides.

The area was

not posted as a radioactive materials area and the gang box was not

labeled.

The

inspector determined that Health Physics

representatives were unaware that contaminated material was being

stored in the gang box.

The inspector asked licensee representatives

to survey the gang box contents.

The bags contained leak rate test

equipment typically utilized by the operations section.

Survey

results showed several i terns in the gang box and the bags to be

contaminated with Cobalt-60, Cesium-137 and Cesium-134.

The highest

contaminated item was a small tool box inside the gang box ha~ing

7000 disintegrations per minute per 100 square centimeters

( dpm/lOOcm2).

The inspector determined that the contaminated

equipment in the gang box lacked sufficient quantity of radioactive

material to meet the posting requirements of 10 CFR 20.203(e).

However, Section D of licensee procedure HP 2.3 specifies the storage

requirements for contaminated material and requires the following:

0

0

0

Before storing any equipment or components which were present in

the Restricted Controlled Area, smears must be taken to

establish current levels.

Equipment exceeds 1 mR/hr at one inch or 2200 dpm/100cm2 must

  • posted and/or wrapped and tagged

Health Physics must be notified of any storage to be made under

this part.

The inspector stated that failure to establish the contamination levels of

the equipment, to wrap and tag as required, and to notify the hea 1th

physics section of the equipment storage as required by Licensee

Procedure HP 2.3

was

an

apparent

violation

of

Technical

Specification 6.4.D (50-28ID/87-35-01 and 50-281/87-35-01) .

d.

Audits

The inspector discussed the audit and surveillance program related to

radiation

protection,

radioactive

waste

management,

and

transportation of radioactive material with licensee representatives.

The inspector reviewed the following audits and surveillances:

Audit-S 87-17, Process Control Program/Offsite Dose Calculation

Manual, May 27 - July 23, 1987

Audit-S 87-1~, Health Physics and Environmental Monitoring,

April 21 - July 13, 1987

Surveillance - SAL 20B, Health Physics Contamination Monitoring

Station Required Posting of Radiation Areas and Housekeeping,

October, 1987

Surveillance - SAC 20C, Radiation Work Permits, June, 1987

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 percent of the

concentrations specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 1,

Co 1 umn 1, other precautionary measures should be used to

maintain the intake of radioactive material by an individual

within seven consecutive days as far below 40 Maximum

  • Permissible Concentration (MPC)-hours

as

is reasonably

achievable.

10 CFR 20.103(c)(2) provides that the licensee may make

allowance for the use of respiratory protective equipment in

estimating exposures of individuals to radioactive material in

air provided the licensee maintains and implements a respiratory

protection program that includes, as a minimum:

written

procedures regarding supervision and training of personnel and

issuance records; written procedures regarding selection,

fitting and maintenance of respirators; and determination by a

physician prior to initial use of respirators, and at least

every 12 months thereafter, that . the i ndivi dua 1 user is

physically able to use the respiratory protective equipment.

Audit S 87-19 reported that the auditor had selected 20 individuals from a

respirator issuance log to verify the qualifications for issuance were

being met.

Licensee procedures require respirator users to have a medical

evaluation, respirator fit test, respirator training, and a whole body

count within the previous 12 months.

The audit report stated that the

auditor was unable to find the records for several names selected from the

respirator issuance 1 og.

The item was presented in the report as a

7

concern and the names of the persons with missing records were listed.

The report recommended the licensee reevaluate the method used to verify

personnel status prior to issuing a respirator.

The inspector discussed

the audit concern with the Radiation Protection Manager.

The inspector

determined that the respirator qualification records had not been found as

of December 10, 1987, but that a thorough search had not been made for the

records.

The inspector stated that fa i 1 ure to have respirator

qualifications for persons issued respirators was an apparent violation of

10 CFR 20.1Q3(c)(2) and requested the records be located if possible. The

licensee was able to produce records for the individuals identified in the

audit report before the exit meeting and the inspector reported to

licensee management that the audit finding did not appear to be a

violation of 10 CFR 20.103(c)(2) requirements.

The inspector stated that

the licensee's failure to identify a potential violation of 10 CFR 20

requirements as an item deserving immediate attention and documented

corrective action could be a violation of the licensee's quality

assurance program.

However, the inspector did not have sufficient

inspection time to evaluate the licensee's corrective action program for

quality assurance findings. Therefore, this item is considered unresolved

pending review of the area by the inspector during a future inspection

{50-280/87-35-02 and 50-281/87-35-02).

No violations or deviations were identified.

e.

Control of High Radiation Areas

Technical Specification (TS) 6.4.B.l requires the entrance to each

high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater

than 100 millirem per hour but less than 1000 millirem per hour be

barricaded and conspicuously posted and that the entrance to each

high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is equal to

or greater than 1000 millirem per hour shall be provided with locked

barricades to prevent unauthorized entry into these areas.

During tours of containment, yard, and the auxiliary building, the

inspector performed independent radiation surveys with NRC and

licensee survey instruments, reviewed records of licensee radiation

surveys, observed area postings, surveyed the exposure rate at

various radiation boundaries, and checked the security of selected

locked high radiation areas.

The inspector determined that the areas

were being properly controlled.

No violations or deviations were identified.

f.

Portable Survey Instruments

While touring the licensee facilities the inspector examined portable

radiation survey instruments and air sampling equipment in use to

verify that each had a calibration sticker.

Each instrument examined

had a calibration sticker and no instruments were found in use with

expired calibration due dates.

The inspector recorded the serial

numbers of several instruments and later reviewed the calibration

8

data packages and ca 1 i bra ti on procedures for the instruments.

The

inspector reviewed the licensee's records tracing radiation sources

to National Bureau of Standards (NBS) and also verified mechanical

and test equipment (laminar flow elements, pressure gauges, etc.)

utilized to verify flow rates on air sampling equipment were

calibrated and tracable to NBS.

No violations or deviations were identified.

g.

Dosimetry

10 CFR 20.202 requires each licensee to supply appropriate personnel

monitoring equipment to specific individuals and require the use of

such equipment.

During tours of the licensee's facility the

inspector observed workers wearing appropriate personnel monitoring

devices.

The inspector reviewed an individual's occupational exposure report

issued by the 1 i censee for the second quarter of 1987.

The

occupational exposure report had assigned an exposure of 0.007 rem to

the whole body, 0.125 rem to the skin, and 0.125 rem to the

extremity.

The dosimetry supervisor was aware of the unusual

exposure ratio.

The inspector determined that the licensee had not

been able to explain the unusual ratio of shallow to deep dose for

the individual and conservatively assigned the exposure reported from

the TLD readout.

The licensee response checked the specific TLD upon

the inspector's request and no abnormalities were found.

The

individual assigned the TLD had not worked in the radiation control

area during the period that the TLD response was reported.

The

inspector determined that the 1 i censee did not have criteria or

guidelines in procedures to require an investigation of unusual

  • personnel monitoring results, for example, unusual beta to gamma

measurement .ratios.

Licensee representatives agreed to es tab 1 i sh

criteria and guidelines that would cause an abnormal exposure report

to be investigated and documented.

The inspector stated that a

review of the development of the criteria and guidelines utilized to

investigate and document abnormal occupational exposure reports would

be identified as an inspection followup item (50-280/87-35-03 and

50-281/87-35-03).

The licensee issued self reading dosimeters (SRD

1s) to persons

entering the radiation control area (RCA).

The SRD

1s were drift and

responsed tested prior to initial issue and at six months intervals

thereafter when in service in accordance with HP-3.1.4.2 Personnel

Dosimetry -

SRO Testing and Preparation dated October 9, 1986.

Through interviews with 1 i censee representatives the inspector

determined that the licensee conducts an undocumented leak test on

SRD's that have been dropped, found, or turned in off-scale.

Licensee representatives agreed to revise SRU procedures to segrate

dropped, found, or off-scale SRD's and process those SRD's through

the documented 1 eak rate and response test as described in *

  • ,,

9

HP-3.1.4.2.

The inspector stated that the procedures to test

off-scale, dropped, and found SRD's would be reviewed in a future

inspection as an inspector fo 11 owup item ( 50-280/87-35-04 and

50-281/87-35-04).

No violations or deviations were identified.

h.

Procedures

As part of the corrective action for violation 87-35-01 the licensee

committed to revise procedure HP-5-2B-50 Whole Body Counter OperatiQn

- Chair/ND680, revision dated March 4, 1986, to address verification

of quality control checks for the whole body counter (WBC).

The

'inspector determined that the procedure manua 1 utilized by the

operators of the WBC equipment still contained , revision dated March

4, 1986.

Licensee representatives had the newly revised HP-5-2B-50

procedure, revision dated October 14, 1987 in a reading file for

emp 1 oyee review.

The inspector verified that a majority of those

persons assigned to the dosimetry section had reviewed the new

procedure.

The inspector determined that the procedures in the whole

body count/dosimetry laboratory were not controlled procedures issued

by the document control section and that the health physics section

had two controlled manuals of health physics procedures.

The

licensee health physicist was copying the controlled procedures and

forwarding them to the various hea 1th physics groups.

Licensee

representatives agreed that the working copies of health physics

procedures should be current and agreed to have the health physics

procedures controlled by a formal receipt/acknowledgement program to

ensure copies of procedures were current.

The inspector stated that

the licensee's controls of health physics procedures would be

reviewed in a future inspection as an inspector followup item

(50-280/87-35-05 and 50-281/87-35-05).

No violations or deviations were identified.

5.

Solid Waste (84722)

10 CFR 20.203 (e) requires that each area or room in which licensed

materi a 1 is used or stored in excess of 10 times the quantity of the

material listed in Appendix C be posted as a radioactive materials area.

During tours of the low level radwaste storage facility, the waste

compactor area, and various waste storage areas, the inspector verified

that radioactive materials storage areas were properly posted.

10 CFR 20.311 requires a licensee who transfers radioactive waste to a

land disposal facility to prepare all waste so that the waste is

classified in accordance with 10 CFR 61.55 and meets the waste

characteristic requiremerits of 10 CFR 61.56 .

The inspector determined that the licensee had made 38 radioactive waste

shipments in 1977.

Nineteen shipments had been made to Barnwell, South

....

10

Carolina and 19 to a vendor for super compaction.

The inspector reviewed

radioactive waste classification documentation for selected radioactive

waste shipments made in 1987 and determined that the waste had been

properly classified and met the waste characteristics requirements of 10 -

CFR 61.

.

.

No violations or deviations were identified.

6.

Transportation (86721)

10 CFR 71. 5 requires that licensees who transport licensed material

outside the confines of its plant or other place of use; or who deliver

licensed material to a carrier for transport, shall comply with the

applicable requirements of the regulations appropriate to the mode of

transport of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR 170 through 189.

The inspector reviewed selected records of radioactive waste and

radioactive material shipments performed during 1987.

The shipping

manifests examined were prepared consistent with 49 CFR requirements.

The

radiation and contamination survey results were within the limits

specified for the mode of transport and shipment classification.

The

inspector selectively performed independent calculations using licensee's

records of material radioactive nuclide composition and verified that the

shipments reviewed had been properly classified.

No violations or deviations were identified.

7.

Allegation Followup (99014)

Allegation (RII-87-A-0102)

A contract employee working at Surry may not have received the correct

external occupational exposure record.

The employee stated that during

the exit whole body count, the health physics technician operating the

equipment became alarmed with the levels of internal contamination being

measured.

The employee stated the health physics technician asked him

where he had been working to have received such a large dose of internal

contamination.

Discussion

The inspector reviewed the licensee's written response to this allegation

to Region II, dated November 23, 1987.

The licensee did not substantiate

any of the concerns.

The inspector reviewed the licensee's investigation

package which included TLD monitoring results, *whole body counts, quality

control checks of whole body counting equipment, surveys, respirator

issuance log, and radiation work permits.

The inspector determined that

the alleger

1s whole body count results showed a measured intake of 1.41%

Maximum Permissible Organ Burden (MPOB) of cobalt-60.

The licensee's

action level is 5% MPOB.

Licensee records showed the calculated exposure

to be 11.5 MPC-Hours.

10 CFR 20.103(a)(l) states that no licensee shall

L

11

possess, use, or transfer licensed material in such a manner as to permit

any i ndi vi dua 1 in a restricted area to i nha 1 e a quantity of radioactive

material in a period of one calendar greater than the quantity which would

result from i nha 1 ati on for 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> per week. for 13 weeks a uni form

concentration of radioactive material in air specified in Appendix B,

Tab 1 e I, Co 1 umn I ( 520 MPC-Hours).

The inspector determined that the

licensee had only measured one intake of radioactive material above the 5%

MPOB administrative limit in 1987 and that positive measurements of

intakes of radioactive material were not routinely observed by whole body

count operators.

The positive measurements of the alleger

1 s whole body

count may have prompted the whole body counters comments.

The inspector

determined that the licensee

1s measurements were adequate and the results

well below regulatory limits.

The licensee employee who had made the

alleged comments concerning the allegers whole body count results was no

1 anger emp 1 oyed by the 1 i censee and cou 1 d not be interviewed.

The

alleger

1s external exposure report showed 177 mrem exposure to deep tissue

and 18 mrem to the skin.

The inspector determined that the licensee had

adequately accounted for the alleger*s internal and external exposures.

The inspector determined that the licensee

1s investigation of the concerns

had been adequate and that the findings reported to Region II were

accurate.

Finding

The allegation was not substantiated.

No violations or deviations were identified.

8.

NRC Information Notices (IN) (92717).

The inspector determined that the licensee had received IN 87-31

11 81 ocki ng, Bracing, and Securing Of Radioactive Materials Packages In

Transportation,

11 and had distributed the notice to appropriate personnel

for review.

The inspector determined that the licensee had received IN 87-07

11Quality

Control Of Onsite Dewatering/Solidification Operations By Outside

Contractors

11

The licensee had distributed the notice to the Health

Physics and Operations Section for review of applicability. The inspector

determined that the licensee

1 s quality assurance/quality control group had

also received a copy of the document but had not been requested to provide

comments to the licensee's section responsible for coordinating station

evaluations of IE Information Notices.

Licensee representatives agreed to

have the quality assurance organizations comment on the notice

applicability and provide guidance for any actions to be taken to preclude

any similar problems identified in the notice.
