70-02941 BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT - SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL LICENSES NOS. SNM-1865 AND SNM-1883 As you were previously notified by TVA's letter dated July 29, 1988, Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BLN) is still in construction deferred status. As a result of reassignment of duties, we hereby request an amendment to material license SNM-1865 for Bellefonte Unit 1 and to SNM-1883 for Bellefonte Unit 2.
The purpose of the amendment is as follows:
1.
Section 1.0, the names and addresses of the directors and principal officers (Page 2).
2.
Section 2.1, Radiation Control (Page 7)
These changes are minor in nature and represent changes of responsibilities within TVA. and Enclosure 2, for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively, contain the pages as submitted in our November 18, 1988 application with changes indicated by a revision bar in the margins.
If you have 'any questions, please telephone Percy llammons at (615) 751-2736.
Very truly yours.

physics ternnicians have a minimum of two years of experience in radiation pta uction.. The RPO is responsible for preparing radiological control procedures, conducting area and contamination surveys, and advising plant personnel on radiation safety matters.
The RPO will also provide personnel during visual inspection of.the fuel.
TVA's Western Area Radiological Laboratory in Muscle Shoals.,
Alabama, is responsible for providing. personnel dosimetry as required and calibrating portable radiation protection instrumentation.
.During the period of fuel storage,= radiation surveys will be performed within the storage areas in accordance with plant instructions.
Portable radiological protection instrumentation equivalent'to that used at-TVA's operating nuclear power plants is
.used in performirg the surveys.
Smears are counted with shielded
-laboratory counting equipment. All portable radiation survey instruments nre. calibrated semiannually using standardized sources traceable to the National Institute for Science and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards).
Laboratory counting equipment-will be checked using standardized sources at least once per month.-
Upon' detection of significant contamination, the area will be posted.
with contamination area signs.
A special work permit will be
,1 required to enter the area. The special work permit will describe
'i the protective clothing, dosimetry, and methods to be followed to prevent unnecessary exposure-to personnel and to prevent spreading of the contamination. The contaminated area shall be cleandd and items in the area cleaned or bagged for waste disposal before the signs and ropes.are removed. __
