Dear Mr. Koester:
Subject:
Wolf Creek Generating Station Unit No.1 - Request for Additional Informatior, on the Health Physics Program As a result of our review of your application for operating licenses we find that we need additional information regarding the Wolf Creek Unit No.1 FSAR.
The specific information required is a result of the Radiological Assessment Branch's review and is listed in the Enclosure.
Ta mF
in our licensing review schedule for the FSAR, we will need responses to '
ad request by June 15, 1981.
If you cannot meet this date, please infoi.
a seven days after receipt of this letter of the date you plan to submit.,
cesponses so that we may review our schedule for any necessary changes.

ENCLOSURE 471.0wc RadininnicAl Assessment Branch 471.1wc Please oescribe your plan to provide onsite b4ciup coverage in the event of the absence of the site Health Physicist and outline the qualifications (or make reference to them in the appropriate section of the F5AR) of the individual who will act as the ba:kup.
It is our position that this individual have a B.S. degree in 3:ience or engineer in9, and two years health physics experiance, one year of which should be nuclear power plant experience, with six months of this experier.ce being onsite.
It is our position that this experience be health physics experience.
471.2wc Section 13.1.2.3 " Shift Crew Composition" states that this area will be addressed in the Technical Specification, The staff requires that an H.P. technician will be onsite at all times, in accordance with NUREG-0654 " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radio-logical Emergency Response Plans and Preparation in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", after the reactor is at power. Please str:te your intentions for having your technical specification include a H.P. technician as part of the shift crew. The qualification of the H.P. technician are described in ANSI 18.1.
471Property "ANSI code" (as page type) with input value "ANSI 18.1.</br></br>471" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process..3wc In accordance with 12.5.3 several procedures including respiratory protection, decontamination, glove boxes, tents, etc. will be used l
to reduce possibility of personnel exposure to airborne activity.
l Please discuss your radiation protection provision for installation
~
of temporary flexible ducting and monitoring equipment at the site s
l' i
of maintenance operations and repair activities, if a high ::tential for airborne radioactivity exists, to assure that 10 CFR Part 20.103 limits are not excluded, that 10 CFR 20.103(b) actions are taken, and that exposure are maintained ALARA during the operation.
471. d' Table 12.5.2 " Portable Health Physics Equipment" show quantities of instrumentation not adeouate to meet the anticipated needs of a radiation protection program for a nuclear power plant. The staff position is that sufficient numbers of instrumentation be available in operating condition to accomodate the need to monitor such large numbers of operations that may be require d in radiation areas and high radiation areas thr:ughcut the plant during major maintenance and refueling outages and/or accidents.'~ In arriving at a total number, consideration should also be given to the survey instruments that may be in a calibration, maintenance or inoperative-on-the-shelf status during the outage and/or accident. Additionally the inventory should include the requirme'nts for selected ranges, sensitivities, types of radiation to be monitored, accuracy required, and types of conitoring to be performed. Ten instruments that read-out in the R/hr range of measurements, as shown in Table 12.5.2, would probably not satisfy the above criteria based on the findings at opepating '
nuclear power plants. Therefore, the table should be revised to reflect these criteria in order to provide the radiation protection l
l instrumentation inventory requirements of the plant.
