J. T. Collins CRCM-T. O. Murpny SU5 JECT:

TMi RAD I AT10'; PRCTECTION PLA!!

I have reviewed the proposed Radiation Protection Plan anc have tne fol l owing general comments :

1.

O rca n i z a t i on The licensee should provice an organization cnart which provices tracable lines of authority and responsibility for the various functions required te support Lait 1 and Unit 2 operations and Unit 2 recovery.

The organization chart must reflect the chain of command throughout the licensee organization with responsibili-ties for major functional areas in radiation protection and the interactions o# the waste management group with the rest of the station radiation protection activities.

Minimum qualifications of personnel f or each maj or functional group should ce listed.

Maior functional areas shoulo include (but not necessarily be limited to) the following:

Personnel Dosimetry - External Dose Assessment Personnel Dosimetry - Internal Dose Assessment Health Physics Operations / Monitoring Radiological Engineering Radiological Audits Health Physics Training Technical Support - Procedure Preparation Respiratory Protection Radioactive Material Control Radiological Surveys Lenoratory/ Counting support Environmental Monitoring Radweste release authorization The plan should indicate the minimum qualifications of personnel resconsible for each' functional area.

Since the F.adiation Protec-tion organization supporting Unit I operations is to be separate from the total radiatio: protection organization, the Unit 1 Radiation Protection organization should meet the minimum technical specification requirements for tne cusii'ications c#

personnel in Reg. Guide 1. E.

The Unit 2 radiation protection So -sx F

recovery organization uncer tne hanager - Racaaste, should ce unoer the direction of a person with qualifications at least

~

as stringant as those required for a Radiation Protection manager ir. Reg. Guide i. E.

Tne lines o'f authori ty and respons ib ility between these two organizations should oe clarified.

o 2.

Cnmmittment to ALARA Tne radiation protection plan does act include any procedure for the' implementation of an ALARA program.

A model ALARA program to be implemented at operating reactors is appended to these comments.

The intent of this model program should be included.

As a minimum a review and sign off for ALARA con-siderations should be required by an. element of the Radiation Protection organization perferably.the Radiological Engineering function.

3.

Acolicabili tv c' Procedures

~

Ei ther as a separate section or intergrated into the plan, the licensees should include the applicability of existing radiation protection procedures or nooifications to those procedures

.ecessitated by the reem ery orcanization.
