R - 3/27/84 BARNWELL NUCLEAR FUEL PLANT POST-DECOMMISSIONING SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM Allied-Gcneral Nuclear Services has contracted with Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc. of Barnwell, South Carolina, to perf orm the surveillance program described in the BNFP Decommissioning Plan (Attachment I to this License Application).
Chem-Nuclear is intimately familiar with the regulatory, radiological and industrial safety, and security aspects of nuclear operations in Barnwell, across the country, and around the world. This experience, the Company's reputation for quality, and the familiarity and proximity to the Allied-General Nuclear Services (AGNS) Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant make Chem-Nuclear superbly suited to operate the AGNS Surveillance Program.
The CNSI Surveillance Program of the AGNS Facility will consist of two phases:
A. Radiological surveillance including provision of the Radiation Protection Officer B. Other inspections and tests AGNS will provide to Chem-Nuclear the name and telephone number of a '
designated AGNS representative who will be notified immediately of any l radiological, safety, or security problems detected on the AGNS property. In addition, AGNS is providing its own security program under contract with a separate organization. ,
Descriptions of each phase of the radiological, safety, and security .
surveillance programs follow.
A CNSI procedure has been prepared to implement the AGNS surveillance program. This procedure has been supplied to the AGNS representative and is attached as Appendix 2.1.
A. Radiological Surveillance Chem-Nuclear will perform a semi-annual radiological survey of the Separations and UF6 Facilities. The first of these surveys was. -
performed as soon as possible after the AGNS decontamination project was completed in January 1984 with AGNS personnel escorting CMSI personnel through the facility on the initial survey to establish a baseline set of survey readings. The initial and the semi-annual surveys will be performed in accordance with existing CNSI radiological survey procedures.
The radiological survey will consist of:
- 1. A general safety and fle e protection ins pe c t io n of all areas entered.
~ ~
8405220012 840402 PDR ADOCK 05000332 P __

- 2. Smear surveys of the entrance areas, ground floor, hallways, and -
stairwells of the Separations and UF6 Facilities and of the hallways of the HCLA. Sample locations will be demarcated for standardiza-tion of samples. The smears will be counted for alpha and be ta-gamma activity.
- 3. Smear surveys and portable alpha and beta-gamma instrument surveys of the HCLA Analytical Chemistry Lab, the Engineering Lab, and the Alpha Lab. Special attention will be given to the smear surveys of the external surfaces of gloveboxes, gloveports, and hoods for evidence of removable contamination.
- 4. At the UF6 Facility, additional smear surveys and portable alpha and beta-gamma instrument surveys will be performed at the following equipment / locations: spray dryer, laboratory, base of main stack, decontamination tank, decontamination room, calciner, 8th floor bag house, and oxide vacuum system.
The AGNS representative will be notified of any contamination found in excess of 50 dpm/100 cm2 alpha or 500 dpm/100 cm2 beta gamma or of any significant variation in radiological conditions from those found in the baseline survey.
In addition, semi-annual report s detailing the ab ove surveys will be submitted to AGNS within 30 days of the end of the report period. If requested by AGNS, a copy of the report will also be submitted to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Chem-Nuclear will de s ign a t e the CNSI Director of Regulatory Affairs /Barnwell, as the 'tontract Radiation Of ficer for the BNFP." He will be responsible for working with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control in matters related to the BNFP Radioactive Material License. Dr. Michael T. Ryan is the present Director of Regulatory Affairs /Barnwell, and a copy of his resume is appended.
The Radiation Protection Of ficer's training and experience (items 8 and 9 on the South Carolina Application for Radioactive Material License);
Individual Users (item 9); Radiation Detection Instruments (item 10);
Methods, Frequency and Standards Used in Calibrating Ins trument s Lis ted Above (item 11); Film Badges, Dosimeters, and Bio-Assay Procedures Used (item 12); Facilities and Equipment (item 13); Radiation Protection Program (item 14); and Waste Disposal (item 15) can be found on Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc., Radioactive Material Licenses Numbers 097, 287-01, 287-02, and 28 7-03. These licenses are on file with the South ,
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, and all CNSI i operations performed for AGNS will follow the procedures listed on these !
licenses. l I

l l
B. Other Inspections and Tests In addition, Chem-Nuclear will perform the following ins pe ct io ns and tests: ;
- 1. The fire water pump will be operated once a week for 30 minutes and l will be tagged to indicate the date the test was performed.
- 2. The water level of Beacon Pond will be checked each time the water pump is operated. AGNS will be notified if water levels drop significantly or if it is at the overflow level.
- 3. The fire alarm in the administration buildings will be tes ted mo'nthly.
- 4. Fire extinguishers will be inspected semi-annually.
- 5. A semi-annual sprinkler system flow tes t will be performed on the sprinkler systems in Administration Buildings 2 and 3.
- 6. The fire hose stations in the administration area will be inspected semi-annually.
- 7. The AGNS insurance inspector will be assisted in performing annual fire hydrant flow tests and inspections.
- 8. Post indicator valves will be inspected annually.
l
- 9. A hydrostatic test of all fire hoses in the administration area will be performed every two years.
An annual report to AGNS will verify the completion of these tests and inspect ions .
4 C. Security Inspection In addition, AGNS is maintaining a security guard wh ic h at least quarterly will perform security inspections which will consist of:
- 1. Checking the outside doors and gates of all buildings for signs of attempted entry.
- 2. Entering tha warehouses and administrative buildings and checking for signs of entry or removal of equipment.
- 3. Inspecting the BNFP boundary for damages. All incidents will be reported to AGNS and damages ~ to fences or gates will be repaired.
- 4. Checking posted signs for legibility and replacing them as neces-sary.
- 5. Checking for possible safety or fire protection problems throughout the inspection.
I Further, AGNS will control access to the BNFP via Osborne Road in the off-hours and on weekends. This will be accomplished using an electronically operated gate that is controlled by the AGNS security guard. Upon arrival, all persons are required to report to the AGNS security guard with proper identification. Individuals will also be required to check out at the security station upon leaving the AGNS Facility.

ATTACHMENT 3 INDIVIDUAL USER (S)
As described elsewhere in the Application, the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant has been shut down, decontaminated, and areas which contain even residual contamination in inaccessible areas such as inside process vessels and pipes and hoods have been sealed af ter being surveyed to determine that there was no smearable contamination in accessible areas.
Thus, there are no individual users, and there is no need for the Company Representative to have any special expertise or experience in handling radioactive materials. However, the Company Representative does have the assistance of Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc. available to him for such radiological surveillance and protection.
, The Company Representative is Mr. Christian T. Nielsen, who may be contacted at the following address:
Mr. Christian T. Nielsen, Vice-President Allied Chemical Nuclear Products, Inc.
c/o Allied Corporation P. O. Box 3000-R Morristown, NJ 07960 Telephone: (201) 455-3367 Christian T. Nielsen is the Vice-President of Allied Chemical Nuclear Products, Inc. , a division of the Allied Corporation, wh ich is located in Morristown, New Jersey. He is 42 years old and has been with Allied for his entire career. He advanced through a succes sion of line positions in chemical plants in S yracuse , New York; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Chicago, Illinois, serving ultimately as Plant Manager.
In the Chicago Plant in 1981, he was appointed Director - Maintenance and Process Analysis for Allied Corporation and then was appointed Vice President - Operations for the Allied Industrial Products Co.
Mr. Nielsen holds a B.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh University and an M.B.A. Degree from Louisiana State University. He is a registered professional Chemical Engineer in Louisiana.
