February 1, 1993 Mr. Heyward G. Shealy, Chief Bureau of Radiological Health 2600 Bull Street Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Dear Mr. Shealy:

This will confirm my recent discussion with you, Mr. Peterson and Mr. Autry concerning the review of the South Carolina Radiation Control Program scheduled for March 8-10 and 15-19, 1993.

I am enclosing a list of questions entitled, " Appendix A, Evaluati:n of Agreement State Radiation Control Program: Part I, Program Guidelines and State Questionnaire Update, and Part II, Program Statistics." These questions and your response to the questions will become Appndix A to our final report.

The questionnaire was completely revised in 1992 to accommodate comments from the Agreement States and to make the document consistent with the waste disposal criteria contained in the Commission Policy Statement published on May 28, 1992. Part I of the questionnaire contains the guidelines and related questions. The new portions of the revised guidelines have been "high-lighted" for your convenience. Part 11 contains program statistics essential for our exchange of information program.

To facilitate the review process, we request that the State's answers to the questionnaire be coordinated with the new Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste, Division of Radioactive Waste Management, The questionnaire is being furnished to you on a computer disk (wordperfect 5.1) as well as in printed form. A copy is also being sent to Mr. Autry. As in the past, a copy of the completed questionnaire is requested prior to the review, by March 8, 1993.

Also, as discussed I would like to accompany Mr. Peterson and Mr. King on inspections sometime during the week of March 8th, and accompany the Radioactive Waste Management staff to the Barnwell site. This activity will be coordinated with your staff and Mr. Autry.

Sincerely,

/

1. What changes were made in your written licensing procedures (new procedures, updates, policy memoranda, etc.) during the reporting period for materials licenses and for the radioactive waste licenses?

VI. . COMPLIANCE A. Status of Inspection Program (Category 1)

NRC Guidelines: The State RCP should maintain an inspection program adequate to assess licensee compliance with State regulations and license conditions. The inspection program in al.1 States should prnvide'for1the inspection 'of licensee's waste generation' activities under the' State's jurisdiction. In States which= regulate the disposal of low-level radioactive waste in' .

permanent disposal facilities, the RCP should Linclude provisions for- pre operational, operational,- and post-operational facility inspections. The inspections'should cover all: program elements which are-relevant'at'the-time of-the: inspection-and be performed independently of any resident inspector program. .In addition, inspections should,be conducted on a rootine basis during-the operation of the,LLW facility, including insper. tion.of incoming D.2.E Appendix A Revisinn SC page 15 Questionnaire Update _01/93 I

Information showing the number of inspections conducted, the  !

number overdue, the length of time overdue and the-priority  !

categories should be readily available. There should be at least semiannual inspection planning for the number uf inspections to be performed, assignments to senior versus. junior staff, assignments -

to regions, identification of saecial needs and periodic status reports. When backlogs occur t1e arogram should develop and impicment a plan to reduce the bac(log. The plan should identify l priorities for inspections and establish target dates and  !

milestones for assessing progress. ~

Questions: '

1. Prepare a table identifying the Priority 1, 2, and 3 licenses with inspections that are overdue by more than 50% -

of their scheduled frequency. Include the R ensee name,-

inspection priority, the due date, and the number of months -t the inspection is overdue. The list = should include' initial '

inspections that are overdue. The table heading should be:

2. Describe your action plan for completing your overdue
  • inspections. If there= is a backlog of (1) inspections with an inspection frequency of 3-years or less that are overdue by more than 50%

of thier scheduled frequency , or (2) inspections with lower insiection frequencies that are overdue by more t1an 100% of thier scheduled frequency, please include with the questionnaire a written _ action plan --

. for eliminating-the backlog.- The written action plan should contain inspection priorities, numerical and time frame- .

goals for. reducing the backlog, provide a method to-measure the. program's progress, and provide fer management review of-

- the program's success in meeting the. goals.

7. Other than reciprocity licensees, how many field inspections-of radiographers were performed? *
8. What percentage is this of your total number of radiographer licensees?
8. Inspection Frecuency (Category 1)

NRC Guidelines: The RCP should establish an ins)ection priority-system. The specific frequency of inspections saould be based-upon the potential hazards of licensed operations,. e.g., major processors, broad licensees, and industrial radiographers should be inspected approximately annually -- smaller or less- hazardous operations may be inspected less~ frequently. The minimum inspection frequency including for initial inspections should be no less than the NRC system.

Questions:

1. Identify ir.dividual '11censees or grou)s of licenr.ees the-State is inspecting.more frequently tian called for in the State's inspection priority system and discuss the reasont for the change.

C. Inspector's Performance and' Capability (Category 1)

NRC Guidelines: Inspectors shculd be competent to evaluate health.

and safety problems and to determine compliance with State l regulations. Inspectors must demonstrate to supervision an

understanding of regulations, inspection guides, and 3011cies i prior to independently conducting inspections.- ForJt ie3ns

2. Were all inspectors accompanied at 1 cast annually by the compliance supervisor during the reporting period? If not, explain.

D. Responses to incidents _and Alleged _lncidents (Category 1)

NRC Guidelines: Inquiries should be promptly made to evaluate the need for on-site investigations. On-site investigations should be promptly made of incidents requiring reporting to the Agency in less than 30 days (10 CFR 20.403 types) for those incidents not requiring reporting to the Agency in less than 30 days, investigations should be made during the next scheduled inspection. On-site investigations should be promptly made of non-reportable incidents which may be of significant public interest and concern, e.g. transportation accidents.

investigations should include in-depth reviews of circumstances and should be completed on a high priority basis. When appropriate, investigations should include reenactments and time-study measurements (normally within a few days). Investigation (or inspection) results should be documented and enforcement action taken when appropriate. State licenroes and the NRC should be r.otified of pertinent information about any incident which

-could be relevant to other licensed operstions (e.g., equipment failure, improper operating procedures). Information on incidents involving failure of equipment shculd be provided to the agency responsible for evaluation of the device for an assessment of possibic generic design deficiency. The RCP should have access to medical consultants when needed to diagncse or treat radiation injuries. The RCp should use other technical consultants for special problems when needed.

Questions:

1. In this reporting period, did any incidents occur that involved equipment or source failure or approved operating procedures that were deficient? If so,
3. How and when were other State licensees who might be affected notified?
b. Was the NRC notified?
2. For incidents involving failure of equipment or sources, was D.2.E Appendix A Revision SC page 18 Questionnaire Update '01/93

4. In the reporting period, were there any cases involving-possible criminal wrongdoing that were looked into or are presently undergoing review? If so, please describe the circumstances for each case.

E. Enforcement Procedures (Category I)

NRC Guidelines: Enforcement Procedures should be sufficient to provide a substantial deterrent to licensee noncompliance with regulatory requirements. Provisions for the levying _of monetary penalties are recommended. Enforcement letters should be issued within 30 days following inspections and should employ appropriate regulatory language clearly specifying all items of noncompliance and health and . safety matters identified during the inspection and referencing the appropriate regulation or license condition being violated. -Enforcement letters should specify the time period for the licensee to respond indicating corrective ~ actions and actions taken to prevent recurrence (normally 20-30 days).

The ir.spector and compliance supervisor should review licensee responses.

Licensee responses to_ enforcement -letters should be promptly acknowledged as to' adequacy and resolution of previously-unresolved items. Written procedures' should exist for handling escalated. enforcement cases of varying degrees. Impounding of material. should be in accorda'nce with State ~ administrative procedures. Opportunity for hearings should:be provided to assure impartial administration of-the radiation control program.

Questions:

-1. If during the reporting period 'the-State issued; orders,'

applied civil penalties, sought criminal penaltics, impounded sources, or. held formal enforcement hearings.

identify these cases and give'a brief summary of=the-circumstances and-results for each case.

3. Briefly describe the enforcement program used to regulate permittees that transfer radioactive waste to the LLW site.

T. Inspection Pron dures (Category 11)

NRC Guidelines: Inspection guides, consistent with current NRC guidanco, should be used by inspectors to assure uniform and complete inspection practices and provide technical guidance in the inspection of licensed programs, NRC Guides may be used if properly supplemented by policy memoranda, agency interpretations, etc. Written inspection policies should be issued to establish a policy for conducting unannounced inspections, obtaining corrective action, following up and closing out previous violations, interviewing workers and observing operations, assuring exit interviews with management, and issuing appropriate notification of violations of health and safety problems.

Procedures should be established for maintaining licensees compliance histories. Oral briefing of supervision or the senior inspector should be performed upon return from nonroutine inspections. For States with separate licensing and inspection '

staffs, procedures should be established for feedback of information to license reviewers.

Questions:

1. What changes were made to your written inspection procedures during the reporting period?
2. Briefly describe the inspection program for the LLW site.

G. Inspection Reports (Category 11)

NRC Guidelines: Findings of inspections should be documented in ti report describing the scope of inspections, substantiating all items of noticompliance and health and safety matters, describing the scope of licensees' programs, and indicating the substance of discussions with licensee management and licensee's response.

Reports should uniformly and adequately document the results of inspections and identify areas of the licensee's program which should receive special attention at the next inspection. Reports should show the status of previous noncompliance and the independent physical measurements made by the inspector.

Questions:
