Dear Mr. Kruesi:

Subject:

Oyster Creek Station Docket No. 50-219 4 Quarterly Personnel Exposures i

-2 The purpose of this letter is to advise you that 11 n employees assigned to the Oyster Creek Station received whole 3 body exposures in excess of 3 rems during the quarterly period h of April 1, 1972 through June 30, 1972. This rerart is being f submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 20.405. H The extent of the exposures ranged from 3.010 rem to a 3.360 rem based upon film badge recults. The exposure of each $

individual by name is listed in Attachment A to this letter. ,,

Each individual has been given written notification of his '

exposure, f

a The above exposures occurred during an annual outage ,.

for inspection and refueling in which unanticipated work was il required in areas that had higher than expected radiation levels. v d The levels of radiation involved varied, dependirig on the work "

l assignment. Outside contractors and temporarily assigned company 3 personnel were utilized to complete work in these areas; however, j it was necessary in some cases to provide these work crews with a station personnel that were experienced in the nature of the 3 repair and in so doing, these station personnel were allowed to n accumulate exposures close to the limit. The exposures over 3.0 $

rem occurred as the result of an inadequate allowance to account 6 for the difference between accumulated pocket dosimeter readings g and final film badge results. q e
