- upe r sede s 2/5/81 205 DECONTAMINATION CONTROL 1.
GENERAL UNC Recovery Systems' policy requires that super-l vision at all levels assure themselves:
that all handling, processing, storing and shipping of SNM is given prior review and approval by Nuclear and Industrial Safety; that suitable control measures are prescribed; and that all pertinent regulations,
. controls and procedures relative to nuclear-cri-ticality safety or radiological safety are followed by supervision and all operating personnel.
Approval by Nuclear and Industrial Safety shall be in accordance with criteria established by the license.
Theipechanism of such approval is de-scribcd in more detail in Subsection 206.
2.
DECONTAMINATION OPERATIONS Control of decontamination operations is maintained through a system of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's), Quality Procedures (QP's), Safety Work Permits (SWP's), Hazard Analyses, and Standard Methods, with provision for reporting and correcting abnormal occurrences.
The specific control method used is dependent on the nature of the activity being performed.
2.1 Standard Operating Procedures Standard Operating Procedures provide detailed instructions for equipment operations and ma-terial handling, including specific safety requirements.
The Standard Operating Procedure Manual is the basic control document.
Before issuance or revision, SOP's require independent review and written approval by Operations, Quality Assurance, and the Manager, NIS, with particular emphasis on Nuclear Safecy.

2.3 Safety Work Permits
.These documents are governed by SOP, and de-scribe Nuclear and Industrial Safety require-ments for performance of certain non-routine operations.
2.4 Hazard Analyses The SWP spells' out the requirements for a separate hazard analysis,i The hazard analysis spells out operating criteria and/or special safety requirements or precautions to be ap-plied to the operation described in the SWP.
This is a separate document attached to the SWP.

~
1.
RESPONSIBILITY Implementation of on-site nuclear and industrial safety control is exercised by operating supervision, with organizationally independent overchecks performed by Quality Assurance or Nuclear and Industrial Safety.
l Operating supervision shall assure that nuclear cri-ticality safety and health physics control procedures are followed as defined by approved operating procedures
.or separate written approval.
2.
NUCLEAR AND INDUSTRIAL SAFETY APPROVAL NIS approval on equipment and operating procedures is identified by signature on the operating procedures or separate writgen approval.
This approval shall only be granted when:
2.1 Nuclear Criticality Safety and Health Physics evaluation have been performed by NIS, based on the criteria and standards approved for this license and including verification of each of the following:
a.)
Validity of basic assomptions b.)
Correctness of application of criteria c.)
Completeness and accuracy of the evaluation d.)
Specific applicability to installation 2.2 Either the evaluation or the review will be made by an individual meeting the technical qualifica-tions for Health Physics as in 202.2.
Nuclear Criticality Safety calculations for operations, processes and storage not specifically approved by sections of this license will require separate assessments by two technically-qualified indi--
viduals in nuclear criticality safety as described in 202.3.
2.3 Safety evaluations and reviews require approval by the Manager, NIS.
2.4 The Manager, NIS or consultants to the NIS depart-ment that meet the qualifications for technical competence may release changes or provide authori-zation for modifications without an additional

207-INSPECTIONS, REVIEWS AND AUDITS I n.med 5/13/81
- upersedes 2/5/81 207 INSPECTIONS, REVIEWS AND AUDITS GENERAL Inspections, reviews and audits are performed to demon-strate compliance with nuclear criticality safety and radiological safety requirements, to detect any trends toward deviation from safe practices, and to confirm that radiation exposures are maintained at the "as low as reasonably achievable" level.
1.
INSPECTION Weekly plant inspections are performed to observe oper-ations and equipment, and to determine compliance with approved nuclear criticality safety and radiological safety contrqls.
The Manager, NIS will perform one of these inspections each month.
Inspections are documen-ted, and include a followup of items reported on the previous inspection to assure that proper corrective action has been taken.
Inspections may also be direc-ted toward adequacy of Standard Operating Procedures for (1) inclusion and adequacy of safety controls, (2) parformance to those controls, (3) adequacy of posted signs and limits, and (4) checks of effluent measurements.
Each such inspection will not necessarily include all these items.
However, the individual items will be addressed at least once each quarter.
Records of inspections shall be maintained for 12 months after the inspection date.
2.
REVIEWS A quarterly documented review and appraisal of the weekly inspections shall be performed by the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Manager (or by a consultant selected by him).
The purpose of this review is to detect any trend toward reduction in safety or non-compliance with controls.
Results of this review shall be reported to the General Manager and the Plant Manager and records maintained for one year from the date of the review.
This review may be combined with the monthly inspection report.
An annual audit shall be conducted by a technically competent person (s) not directly a part of the L
