Dear Mr. Opeka:
Subject:
NRC Combined Inspection Nos. 50-245/93-22; 50-336/93-16;

An unannounced radiological controls inspection was conducted on August 2-6,1993, by Mr.
R. L. Nimitz at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station Units 1, 2, and 3. The findings of the
inspection were discussed with Mr. R. Factora and others at the conclusion of the inspection on
l
August 6,1993.
l
Areas reviewed during the inspection were important to health and safety and are discussed m
!
the enclosed inspection report. The areas reviewed included program changes, organization and
i
staffing, training and qualifications, audits and assessments, efforts to maintain radiation
exposures as low as is reasonably achievable (AIARA), external and internal exposure controls,
instrument calibrations, control room ventilation system testing, radioactive material and
contamination controls, process monitor testing, and station housekeeping. The inspection
principally focused on the planning and preparation for, and the adequacy and implementation
of, radiological controls for the refueling outage at Millstone Unit 3.
The inspector also
reviewed activities at Units 1 and 2 including the entry of personnel into Unit 2 containment,
with the reactor at power, to perform leak repair activities on a letdown valve.
The inspection revealed that, overall, very good radiological controls were implemented for the
Unit 3 outage and the work activities reviewed at Units 1 and 2. Areas that were particularly
noteworthy included planning and coordination of work activities for the outage, the general
material condition of the station, and control of radioactive and contaminated material. The
radiological controls provided for the repair of the Unit 2 letdown valve were considered good.
Your efforts to maintain the conditions inside the Unit 3 reactor containment to allow personnel
entry with street clothing was commendable. Also, station efforts in the ALARA area continued
to be very good.

One unresolved item was identified. The item involved the training and qualification of
personnel performing instrument calibrations or using instruments. The inspector identified
three individuals for whom complete records of training and qualification to perform their
assigned tasks were not available. Your staff took immediate actions to evaluate this matter and
,
assure personnel had or would be pmvided appropriate training. Discussions with your staff
i
indicated on-the-job training had apparently been provided for the individuals but records were
3
not available. We will review this matter during a future inspection.
No response to this letter is required. Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
