Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection 50-213/77-23
This refers to your letter dated February 2,1978, in response to our
letter dated January 6, 1978, and to the meeting held at the NRC, Region
I Office on August 28, 1978, relating to the activities authorized by
NRC License No. DPR-61. The meeting was attended by members of ray
staff, Messrs. Graves and Clow of your company, and Messrs. Cagnetta,
Rogers and Palmer of Northeast Utilities Service Company.
The purpose of the meeting was to offer you an opportunity to present
further evaluation of the radiation exposure referred to in NRC In-
spection Report No. 50-213/77-23. This evaluation was documented in
your report, " Investigation of the Exposure to an Individual with
Unusual Dosimetry," dated November 27, 1978 (GTS-78-E-495).
With respect to Item A in the Notice of Violation attached to our
January 6, 1978 letter, based on.r
2 rial presented at the meeting and
in your November 27, 1978 report, auequate factual information to
conclude that the individual did not receive an exposure of 22 Rem to
skin of the whole body has not been presented. Specifically, the
quantity, location and distribution of radioactive material originally
located on the thermoluminescent dosimeter holder would be insufficient
reason to reject the thermoluminescent dosimeter results since no facts
have been presented to indicate how long this contamination was present
on the holder. Accordingly, you should assure that the 22.489 rem skin
exposure is properly reported to the Commission and the individual, as
required by 10 CFR 20.408 and 10 CFR 20.409, and that steps are taken to
prevent recurrence. Your actions will be reviewed during a subsequent
inspection.

Regarding Item B in the Notice of Violation, based on discussions during
the meeting, it is clear that the form of Technical Specification 6.13
in effect at the time of the inspection required the use of a continu-
ously indicating instrument to maintain compliance. Amendment 25 to the
Connecticut Yankee Technical Specifications, issued February 27, 1978,
is presently in effect. We understand that you are requiring adherence
to its provisions in order to prevent recurrent noncompliance in this
area.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
a
