Dear Mr. Denton:
SUBJECT:
NRC Combined Inspection Nos. 50-317/93-27; 50-318/93-27
An announced safety inspection of the radiation protection program at your facility was
conducted by Mr. J. Furia of this office on September 7-10,1993. The inspection findings were
discussed with members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection on September 10,1993.
Areas examined during this inspection are important to health and safety and included the
radiation protection program. Areas inspected include your programs for: radiation safety
,
during normal operations, radiological work control and housekeeping, maintaining radiation
exposures as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), and assurance of quality. Within these
areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
ALARA performance during the Spring Unit-2 refueling outage (RF09) was erratic, with several
major work activities going well over budgeted dose. Continued weaknesses identified in
previous inspections in planning for the outage, coupled with an apparent lack of strong support
to ALARA goals by some plant staff played a significant part in the weakness in ALARA outage
performance.
It appears that progress is being made to correct some of these weaknesses. Improvements
include the creation of an ALARA Committee and placement of an ALARA technician in the
Outage Management Team, however improvements in ALARA interfacing with other groups and
more timely submittal of work packages is needed.
