Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection 50-289/78-18
This refers to your letter dated February 8,1979, in response to our letter
dated January 29, 1979.
Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive actions documented
in your letter.
Your letter indicated that your evaluation incorporated a maximum extremity dose
to whole body dose ratio of 2:1 for work within the steam generators.
The next
to last paragraph of your letter indicated you would obtain measurements during
the February 17, 1979, Unit I refueling outage to further evaluate the ratio.
Our review of the computer output dated September 28, 1979, indicated that
during a badge period of February 1 to 25,1979, one individual received a ratio
of grea m cnan 4.6:1 in extremity dose to whole body dose (specifically 980:210
mrer.) . We understand that this extremity dose was received while within the
'ceam generators.
This information did not substantiate the evaluation given in
,
your letter nor did it support your request to withdraw the item of noncompliance.
However, we observe that you have now taken corrective action and revised your
policies and procedures involving personnel dosimetry so as to prevent any recur-
rence of this item of noncompliance.
Based on a conversation between Mr. I. Seybold of your staff and Mr. Plumlee of
this office, onsite on October 8, 1979, we understand you will send corrected
termination letters to four individuals and review your records to determine if
further corrections are necessary.
This resulted from Mr. Plumlee's observation
that zero extremity doses were indicated on copies of termination letters dated
April 26, 1979, to four of five individuals who had worn extremity dosimeters
within the steam generators.
The indicated zero extremity doses differed from
the current computer printout of their doses.
