J Enclo:ura ITEM A:
Technical Specification 6.4, Trnininc. states in part, "A retraining and replacement training program for the facility staff shall be maintained under the direction of the Supervisor of Training and shall meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Section 5.5 of ANSI N18.1-1971..."
Section 5.5 of ANSI-N18.1 requires tha't a training program 'oe established to maintain the proficiency of the operating organization tacqugh periodic training exercises, instruction periods and reviews covering those items which relate to safe operation of the facility and recommends that means be provided for appropriate evaluation of its effectiveness.
Section 5.5.1, of ANSI-N18.1 recommends changes in operating procedures be included in the retraining program.
Contrary to the above, as of June 3, 1980, the established training and retraining program for radiation protection technicians was inadequate to mainenin the proficiency of the operating organization in that no method was in-place to assure that technicians had been trained in procedure changes, and new procedures, before the technicians carried out tasks involving the changed or new procedures.
RESPONSE
Radiological Controls Procedure 1619 " Radiological Controls Notification of Change" was issued August 6, 1980.
This procedure requires Radiological Control personnel to initial and date a Notification of Change Log stating that they are aware of a procedural change.
To supplement the above, a Radiological Engineer reviews procedural changes with the Radiological Control Technicians to insure their understanding of the changes and to receive feedback on existing procedures. The first session occurred July 7, 1980 as part of the technician's cyclical training program and has continued on an as-needed basis.
Item A was corrected by August 6, 1980.
ITEM B:
Technical Specification 6.11, Radiation Protection Program, states,
" Procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure."

Unit 1 Radiological Control Procedure 1613, " Radiation Work Permits",
Revision 10, developed in accordance with the above, requires, in Section 5.3.10, that prior to personnel entry to perform work under a radiation work permit (RWP) they shall read the RWP, and initial in block #3 on the RWP Attachment sheet to signify they have read these documents and understand them.
Contrary to the above, on June 3, 1980, personnel entered to perform work on the following RWPs and did not initial block #3 of the Attachment Sheet to signify reading and understanding of the documents:
RWP No.
Number of Individuals Not Initialing 6726 1

Unit 1 Radiological Controls Procedure 1614, Revision 1, " Control Point Instructions", developed in accordance with the above requires in Section 5.0, "Opccating Instructions", that the Supervisor / Foreman Radiological Controls coordinate the activities of any Control Point with the Radiological Control Technician Staff including assuring that personnel who enter RWP areas meet the RWP requirements and have sufficient remaining exposure to do "the task. Procedure 1614 Section 5.5 requires Control Point Watch Standers to use current instructions while monitoring Control Point activities.
Further, Control Point Instruction No. 80-7, " Exposure Control", requires all Control Point Watch Standers to check not only the weekly exposure limit, but also the quarterly exposure limit.
Contrary to the above, at approximately 6:00 p.m. on June 2, 1980, an inspector entered the Unit 1 Auxiliary Building, an RWP area and the Radiological Control Technician Staff, including the Control Point Watch Stander, did not check the inspector's weekly exposure or quarterly
. exposure to assure that the inspector had sufficient remaining exposure.
RESPONSE TO ITEM B-1:
Following the June 4, 1980 exit interview, Control Point Watchers were notified to insure that personnel entering controlled areas had initialed RWPs prior to entry.
RESPONSE TO ITEM B-2:
On June 4,1980, Control Point Instruction #80-10 " Entry into Controlled Areas for Individuals whose names are not on Dose Assessment Report" was put into effect.
Personnel whose names do not appear on the Dose Assessment Report are denied entry to controlled areas unless they can show the following proof:
1.
Whole Body Count 2.
Lifetime and Quarterly Exposures 3.
Respirator Physical and Respirator Fit Test (if needed) 4.
