Dear Mr. DelGeorge:
SUBJECT:
ROUTINE RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS AND RADWASTE INSPECTION AT BRAIDWOOD
>
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. M. Kunowski and R. Paul of
this office on May 24 to June 25, 1993. The inspection included a review of
authorized activities for your Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2.
At the
conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members
of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of proceduras
and representative records, observations, independent dose rate measurements,
and interviews. As discussed in Section 5 of the inspection report, the
quantity of radioactive noble gases and tritium released in gaseous effluents
has fluctuated widely since 1990, apparently because of leakage and repair of
various valves, the recent Unit 2 fuel leak, changes in analysis methodology,
and other influences.
We request that you review the gaseous effluent data
from 1990 to the present and estimate the relative contribution of the causes
of the fluctuation to the number of curies of gas and tritium released during
this period.
Please describe the results of your efforts in the Semiannual
Radioactive Effluent Release Report for July to December 1993.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the inspection.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room.
