Dear Mr. Thayer:

SUBJECT: NRC Inspection No. 50-029/92-10

An announced safety inspection of the radiological controls program at the Yankee Rowe

Station was conducted by Messrs. D. Chawaga and J. Nick on November 4 - 6,1992. The

inspection findings were discussed with members of your staff on October 23,1992.

Areas reviewed during the inspection were important to health and safety and are discussed

in the enclosed inspection report. These areas included review of: a previously identified

item involving contamination monitoring at the guardhouse, postings and other controls

observed during facility tours, radiological control of work in progress, and organization and

staffing. Special emphasis was placed on radiological controls established for control rod

blade cutting and crushing activities in the spent fuel pool.

Overall, good performance was observed in the area of radiological controls. The only NRC

open item in the radiological controls area was closed during the inspection. This item

involved the setpoint for the guardhouse radiation monitor. Postings and other radiological

controls were maintained in accordance with NRC requirements. No weaknesses were noted

in health physics staffmg and support of work in progress. Within the scope of this

inspection, no radiological safety concerns or violations of regulatory requirements were

identified.
