Gentlemen:
Subject: Report Nos. 50-321/81-10 and 50-366/81-10
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. J. R. Wray of this office
on April 13-17, 1981, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License Nos.
DPR-57 and NPF-5 for the E. I. Hatch facility.
Our preliminary findings were
discussed with Mr. C. T. Moore, Assistant Plant Manager, at the conclusion of
the inspection.
Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the
enclosed inspection report.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of
selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations t>y the inspector.
During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under ycur license
appear to violate NRC requirements.
These items and references to pertinent
requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith as Appen~
dix A.
Elements to be included in you* response are delineated in Appendix A.
In a telephone conversation on July 3,
1980, Mr. G. F. Head of your office
informed Mr. R. C. Lewis of this office that one of the actions to be taken to
'
alleviate deficiencies in your contamination control program identified during
the Health Physics Appraisal was to require individuals who are exiting any area
where protective clothing was required, to perform or receive a whole body con-
i
i
tamination survey prior to exiting.
In your letter of October 6,1980, you
'
stated that the requirement for the whole body contamination survey was being
emphasized in the initial orientation courses and re-emphasized in health
physics training lectures. You further stated that the supervisory staff and
health physics staff would be more diligent in enforcing this requirement.
During this inspection, thirteen of fifteen workers were observed removing
protective clothing after exiting the Unit 1 torus and not performing a whole
body contamination survey before leaving this area.
The corrective action
taken, as described in your letter, apparently failed to insure that proper
contamination monitoring was performed.
In your response to the Notice of
Violation you should pay particular attention to those actions which would
provide additional assurance that workers will perform whole body contamination
surveys upon exiting areas requiring protective clothing.
