Dear Mr. Sieber:
l
SUBJECT: COMBINED NRC INSPECTION NOS. 50-334/93-25; 50-412/93-26
An announced safety inspection of the radiological controls program at your facility,
authorized by NRC License Nos. DPR-66 and NPF-73, was conducted by Mr. J. Nick of
this office during the period October 18 - 22, 1993. The findings of the inspection were
discussed by Mr. Nick with Mr. Spoerry and other members of your staff during the exit
meeting on October 22,1993.
Areas reviewed during this inspection are important to health and safety and are discussed in
the enclosed inspection report.
The findings documented in this report are based upon
inspector observation, interviews with personnel, and review of records. Areas reviewed
included organization and staffing levels, staff qualifications and tmining, external exposure
control, internal exposure control, radiclogical surveys, radiation protection logs and records,
and planning to maintain personnel radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable
(ALARA).
Your radiological controls program was generally very effective in protecting the safety of
workers in radiological areas.
Areas toured in the facility were well maintained and
exhibitcci good housekeeping.
The radiation protection group was staffed by qualified
individuals with documented training and qualifications. The radiological controls for outage
work were appropriate and comprehensive. Adequate information was provided to workers
for awareness of the mdiological conditions in their work areas.
The strong ALARA
program was a significant contribution in lowering total dose and dose rates in some work
areas.
Improvements were noted in the control of High Radiation Areas and contractor
health physics training and documentation. Weakness was noted in the timeliness of required
annual whole body counts.
Within the scope of this inspection, no significant safety
concerns and no violations of NRC regulations were identified.
