SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-29/96-03
Dear Mr. Mellor:
On August 29,1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Yankee reactor facility in
Rowe, Massachusetts. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Yankee
facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations and careful radiological
controls. Within the scope of this inspection, our inspector verified that you maintained
effective programs for protecting the safety of workers during dismantlement and
decommissioning activities. Your organization was staffed with qualified individuals.
Minor staffing changes that were noted in the radiation protection organization did not
compromise overall effectiveness. Audits, appraisals and self-assessments continued to
improve the quality of the radiation protection program. Your staff continued to perform
good planning for decommissioning and dismantlement activities, including maintaining
occupational exposures ALARA. Internal and external exposure controls were appropriate,
i
Radiological surveys and monitoring were performed as required and contamination
controls were very good. Facility tours indicated good housekeeping in contaminated
areas. No major deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements were identified.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
_ - _
