l ATTACFfENT RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VICLATION ITEM OF NONCOWLIAPCE 1.
Technical Specification 6.2.8 requires that radiation control procedures be ma.'ataineo, made available to all personnel, and adhered to.
a.
LaSalle Radiation Protection Procedure (LRP-1250-3) requires that individuals wear personnel dosimeters (film badge and self-reading dosimeter) near each other on the front part of the body at or above waist level.
Contrary to the above, during this inspection, many workers were observed wearing their personal film badges on their trouser pockets or at the hip section of their trousers.
b.
LaSalle Radiation Protection Procedure (LRP-1480-4) requires that individuals using friskers survey their hands and shoes by moving the probe slowly over the area of interest.
Contrary to the above, two workers were observed at frisker stations who did not survey their hands, and who did not survey their shoes in accordance with the posted frisking instructions.
c.
LaSalle Radiation Protection Procedure (LRP 1410-1) states that after removing protective clothing, a whole body frisk is required in accordance with LRP 1480-4.
Contrary to the above, two persons were observed to remove their protective clothing at a controlled step-off pad area without frisking prior to changing into their personal clothing.
CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED First line supervisors are charged with the responsibility for ensuring that their workers observe proper radiological protection work practi-ces and adhere to radiological protection requirements. Expectations regarding this responsibility will be conveyed to supervisory personnel in meetings conducted by senior management personnel.
In addition, tailgate meetings witn all personnel are being conducted to emphasize the importance of adherence to radiation protection procedures including use of proper frisking techniques.
It is anticipated these meetings will be completed by August 1, 1985.
L
. CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER NONC0t43LIAtCE Greater emphasis will be placed on holding supervisors accountable for workers' performance in radiological protection practices.
To aid tne supervisor with this responsibility, a first-line supervisor radiological protection practices refresher training course is being developed. Supervisors will be sent to this course as they are available. A current LaSalle County Station Training Department goal is to have training completed for a selected number of supervisors by December 31, 1985.
In addition, shielded frisking booths have been ordered to be placed in the plant at strategic locations to allow whole body frisking nearer the contaminateo area exits. Additional contamination monitors will also be ordered to provioe for gross contamination monitoring within high background areas immediately adjacent to the contaminated area step-off pad area.
DATE WHEN FULL COFPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED It is anticipted that the tailgate and supervisory personnel expectation meetings will be completed by August 1, 1985. Full compliance will be achieved upon receiving the necessary additional contamination monitors and frisker booths.
It is expected that these items will be completed by December 1, 1985. Radiological protection practices refresher training for a selected number of supervisors will be completed by December 31, 1985.
