Dear Mr. Perry
i
SUBJECT:
ROUTINE RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION AT THE CLINTON NUCLEAR POWER
STATION
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. D. W. Nelson and
,
Dr. J. House of this office on October 25 through December 2, 1993. The
j
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Clinton Power
Station facility. At the conclusion of the inspection the findings were
discussed with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
I
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection' consisted of selective examinations of procedures
!
and representative records, interviews with personnel and observation of
activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection was to determine
1
whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
'
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation.
The violations are of concern because in one case workers were
needlessly exposed to elevated levels of airborne contamination and the
actions taken by radiation protection personnel in covering the job were
inadequate.
In the other case, workers could have unknowingly been exposed to
radiation, and unmonitored contaminated waste could have been released from
the radiological controlled area.
In addition, we are concerned that the poor housekeeping and poor radiological
controls noted during this inspection had been identified and reported to you
l
previously in the last inspection report. These findings raise questions
about your ability to identify, document and correct deficiencies.
i
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
