Any corrective actions that were required to obt.in satisfactory operation shall also be described.

Any additional specific details requested in license conditions based on other commitments shall be included in this report.

6.9.1.3 Startup reports shall be submitted within (1) 90 days following com-pletion of the startup test program, (2) 90 da mencement of commercial power operations, or (ys following resumption or com-

3) 9 months following initial criticality, whichever is earliest.

If the Startup Report does not cover all three events (i.e., initial criticality, completion of startup test program, and resumption or commencement of commercial power operation), supplementary reports shall be submitted at least every three months until all three events have been completed.

ANNUAL REPORTS 2 6.9.1.4 Annual reports covering the activities of the unit as described below for the previous calendar year shall be submitted prior to March 1 of each year.

The initial report shall be submitted prior to March 1 of the year following initial criticality.

6.9.1.5 Reports required on an annual basis shall include:

A tabulation of the number of station, utility, and othe personnel (includ-a.

ing contractors) receiving exposure greater t'ian 100 mrem /yr and their associated man-rem exposure according to work and job functions 2 (e, g,,

reactor operations and surveillance, inservice inspection, routine mainten-ance, special maintenance (describe maintenance), waste processing, and refueling).

The dose assignments to various duty functions may be esti-mated based on pocket dosimeter, TLD, or film badge measurements.

Small exposures totalling less than 20 percent of the individual total dose need not be accounted for.

In the aggregate, at least 80 percent of the total whole body dose received from external sources should be assigned to specific major work functions.

lA single submittal may be made for a multiple unit site.

The submittal should combine those sections that are common to all units at the site.
