Mr. Dayne H. Brown, Director Division of Radiation Protection Department of Environment, Health i

and Natural Resources P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687

Dear Mr. Brown:

l This will confirm my recent discussion with you and Ms. Haden of your staff concerning the review of the North Carolina Radiation Control Program scheduled for December 6-10, 1993.

l I am enclosing a list of questions entitled, " Appendix A, Evaluation of Agreement State Radiation Control Program: Part I, Program Guidelines and State Questionnaire Update, and Part II, Program Statistics."

Ihese questions and y a r response to the questions will become Appendix A to our final report.

Tie questionnaire was com;.'etely revised in 1992 to accommodate comments from tha Agreement States and to 'ake the document consistent with the waste disposal criteria contained in the Commission Policy Statement published on May 28, 1992.

Part I of the questionnaire contains the guidelines and related questions. The new portions of the revised guidelines have been "high-lighted" for your convenience.

Part II contains program statistics essential for our exchange of information program.

The questionnaire is being furnished to you on a computer disk (wordperfect 5.1) as well as in printed form. As in the past, a copy of the completed questionnaire is requested prior to the review, by November 29, 1993.

Also, I would like to accompany two of your inspectors prior to the review and i

visit the new irradiator facility during the initial loading and safety cht cks. This is being coordinated with Ms. Haden.

Sincerely, i

assess the status of the inspection program on a periodic basis.

Information showing the number of inspections conducted, the j

number overdue, the length of time overdue and the priority categories should be readily available. There should be at least semiannual inspection planning for the number of inspections to be performed, assignments to senior versus. junior staff, assignments to regions, identification of special needs and periodic status reports. When backlogs occur the program should develop and implement a plan to reduce the backlog. The plan should identify priorities for inspections and establish target dates and milestones for assessing progress.

Questions:

1.

Prepare a table identifying the Priority 1, 2, and 3 licenses with inspections that are overdue by more than 50%

of their scheduled frequency.

Include the licensee name, inspection priority, the due date, and the number of months the inspection is overdue. The list should include initial inspections that are overdue. The table heading should be:

Insp. Freq.

Licensee Name (Years)

Due Date Months 0/D 2.

Describe your action plan for completing your overdue inspections.

If there is a backlog of (1) inspections with an inspection frequency of 3 years or less that are overdue by more than 50%

of thier scheduled frequency, or (2) inspections with lower inspection frequencies that are overdue by more than 100% of thier scheduled frequency, please include with the questionnaire a written action plan for eliminating the backlog. The written action plan should contain inspection priorities, numerical and time frame goals for reducing the backlog, provide a method to measure the program's progress, and provide for management review of the program's success in meeting the goals.

Other than reciprocity licensees, how many field inspections of radinaraphers were performed?

8.

What percentage is this of your total number of radiographer licensees?

B.

Inspection Frecuency (Category I)

NRC Guidelines: The RCP should establish an inspection priority system. The specific frequency of inspections should be based upon the potential hazards of licensed operations, e.g., major processors, broad licensees, and industrial radiographers should be inspected approximately annually -- smaller or less hazardous operations may be inspected less frequently. The minimum inspection frequency including for initial inspections should be no less than the NRC system.

Questions:

1.

Identify individual licensees or groups of licensees the State is inspecting more frequently than called for in the State's inspection priority system and discuss the reason for the change.

C.

Inspector's Performance and Capabi,lity (Category I)

NRC Guidelines:

Inspectors should be competent to evaluate health and safety problems and to determine compliance with State regulations.

Inspectors must demonstrate to supervision an understanding of regulations, inspection guides, and p~olicies prior to inde f6E?the71iisys'6tT65 ofTsoiipliQ} pendently conducting inspections,6siisidTsetRitliEsuEhis T~~

D.

Responses to Incidents and Alleaed Incidents (Category I)

NRC Guidelines:

Inquiries should be promptly made to evaluate the need for on-site investigations. On-site investigations should be promptly made of incidents requiring reporting to the Agency in less than 30 days (10 CFR 20.403 types).

For those incidents not requiring reporting to the Agency in less than 30 days, investigations should be made during the next scheduled inspection. On-site investigations should be promptly made of non-reportable incidents which may be of significant public interest and concern, e.g. transportation accidents.

Investigations should include in-depth reviews of circumstances and should be completed on a high priority basis. When appropriate, investigations should include reenactments and time-study measurements (normally within a few days).

Investigation (or inspection) results should be documented and enforcement action taken when appropriate.

State licensees and the NRC should j

be notified of pertinent information about any incident which could be relevant to other licensed operations (e.g., equipment failure, improper operating procedures). Information on incidents involving failure of equipment should be provided to the agency responsible for evaluation of the device for an assessment of possible generic design deficiency. The RCP should have access to medical consultants when needed to diagnose or treat radiation injuries. The RCP should use other technical consultants for special problems when needed.

Questions:

1.

In this reporting period, did any incidents occur that involved equipment or source failure or approved operating procedures that were deficient? If so, a.

How and when were other State licensees who might be affected notified?

b.

Was the NRC notified?

2.

For incidents involving failure of equipment or sources, was information on the incident provided to the agency responsible for evaluation of the device for an assessment of possible generic design deficiency? Please provide details for each case.

3.

If the RCP utilized medical or technical consultants for an emergency during the reporting period, please describe the circumstances for each case.

4.

In the reporting period, were there any cases involving possible criminal wrongdoing that were looked into or are presently undergoing review?

If so, please describe the circumstances for each case.

18 Appendix A 5.

Please provide a copy of your written procedures for reporting events data and misadministrations to NRC.

6.

Please describe how you inform your licensees about the importance of reporting accurate and timely events information, including misadministration reporting.

l 7.

Please have copies of all misadministrations and events available for dicsussion and review.

E.

Enforcement Procedures (Category I) t f

NRC Guidelines:

Enforcement Procedures should be sufficient to provide a substantial deterrent to licensee noncompliance with regulatory requirements.

Provisions for the levying of monetary penalties are recommended.

Enforcement letters should be issued within 30 days following inspections and should employ appropriate regulatory language clearly specifying all items of noncompliance and health and safety matters identified during the inspection and referencing the appropriate regulation or license condition being violated. Enforcement letters should specify the time period for the licensee to respond indicating corrective actions and actions taken to prevent recurrence (normally 20-30 days).

The inspector and compliance supervisor should review licensee responses.

i Licensee responses to enforcement letters should be promptly acknowledged as to adequacy and resolution of previously unresolved items. Written procedures should exist for handling escalated enforcement cases of varying degrees.

Impounding of material should be in accordance with State administrative procedures. Opportunity for hearings should be provided to assure impartial administration of the radiation control program.

Questions:

1.

If during the wporting period the State issued orders, applied civil psnalties, sought criminal penalties, impounded sources, or held formal enforcement hearings, identify these cases and give a brief summary of the circumstances and results for each case.

2.

Discuss changes made in the enforcement procedures during the reporting period.

3.

Briefly describe the enforcement program used to regulate permittees that transfer radioactive waste to the LLW site.

i.

19 Appendix A F.

Inspection Procedures (Category II)

NRC Guidelines:

Inspection guides, consistent with current NRC guidance, should be used by inspectors to assure uniform and complete inspection practices and provide technical guidance in the inspection of licensed programs. NRC Guides may be used if properly supplemented by policy memoranda, agency interpretations, etc. Written inspection policies should be issued to establish a policy for conducting unannounced inspections, obtaining corrective action, following up and closing out previous violations, interviewing workers and observing operations, assuring exit interviews with management, and issuing appropriate notification of violations of health and safety problems.

Procedures should be established for maintaining licensees compliance histories. Oral briefing of supervision or the senior inspector should be performed upon return from nonroutine inspections.

For States with separate licensing and inspection sta.f fs,

procedures should be established for feedback of information to license reviewers.

Questions:

1.

What changes were made to your written inspection procedures during the reporting period?

G.

Inspection Reports (Category II)

NRC Guidelines: Findings of inspections should be documented in a report describing the scope of inspections, substantiating all items of noncompliance and health and safety matters, describing the scope of licensees' programs, and indicating the substance of discussions with licensee management and licensee's response.

Reports should uniformly and adequately document the results of inspections and identify areas of the licensee's program which should receive special attention at the next inspection. Reports should show the status of previous noncompliance and the independent physical measurements made by the inspector.

Questions:

1.

What changes were made in the formats of your reports or inspection forms during this period?

H.

Confirmatory Measurements (Category II)

NRC Guidelines: Confirmatory measurements should be sufficient in number and type to ensure the licensee's control of materials and to validate 1%$[ IGE %IllifrijuliG thiYdisp5ii.thelicenseesmeasurements.RHf 3iRT&TeWidisiEffis!1iint fasilitissNacc@ssitsitisiisMus14 lisillabls 1953masgemeAtygelitig@gggg}usEso sidfi@
