'% #g May 12,1982 Mr. William J. Dircks Executive Director for Operations U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555

Subject:

CONTROL OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES Recent operating license reviews indicate that most applicants and licensees are directing proper attention to assuring that their stations will have an adequate radiation protection program and that the ALARA criterion will be implemented. If occupational exposures are to be held to a minimum, however, attention must also be directed to the prevention of the transport and buildup of radionuclide concentrations within the primary cooling system, to methods for the removal of radionuclide deposits if preventive measures are not successful, and to the minimization of the failurt and subsequent need for the repair and/or replacement of major plant components.

,Coc cl2 4 V Although we have written to you in the past (see memorandum from R F.

Fraley dated December 16, 1981,

Subject:

Occupational Exposures at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and Other System 80 Plants) we do not believe that the response has been adequate. The Comnittee rges that the NRC Staff recognize these aspects of the radiation protec. ion prob-lem and encourage nuclear power plant operators to direct appropriate consideration to them in their overall plans for the control of occupa-tional exposures.

Sincerely,

\.

P. Shewmon Chairman
