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.
