l
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed section 12.5," Health Physics Program," of the FSAR to ;
ensure agreement with commitments contained therein.
b. Observations and Findinas
A recent discovery of a licensee operating their facility in a manner contrary to the
FSAR description highlighted the need for a special focused review that compares
plant practices, procedures and/or parameters to the FSAR descriptions. While
performing the inspection discussed in this report, the inspectors reviewed the
applicable portions of the FSAR that related to the areas inspected. The inspectors
verified that the FSAR wording was consistent with the observed plant practices,
procedures and/or parameters.
c. Conclusions
No deviations to the commitments in the FSAR were identified.

R1 Radiological Protection and Chemistry Controls
R 1.1 External Exposure Controls
a. Inspection Scope (83750) i
Between December 16-19,1996 the inspectors conducted several tours of the
radiological controlled area, including the Unit 2 containment building. Randomly
selected radiation workers and radiation protection personnel were interviewed.
The following items were reviewed:

- Radiological controlled area access controls,
I * Control of high radiation areas,
! * Radiation exposure permits,
I * Job coverage by radiation protection personnel,
+ Housekeeping within the radiological controlled area,
- Dosimetry use, and
- Selected procedures.
b. Observations and Firidinas
! The inspectors noted that area postings were appropriate. High radiation areas
were properly posted and technical specification required locked high radiation areas
were properly controlled. However, signs and step off pads within the containment
building set-up for future job use were inconsistent. The inspectors noted that
some radiologicalinserts were turned around while others were taped across with
l the words "Not in Use." Also, some step-off pads had "Not in Use" taped across
l them and some did not. The inspectors commented that this practice tends to
desensitize workers to the meaning of the signs. Subsequent tours of the
, radiological controlled area found that the licensee consistently marked signs set-up
l for future work.
Housekeeping within the radwaste and containment buildings was good.
All personnel observed in the radiological controlled area wore the proper dosimetry
and knew to leave the area and contact health physics personnelif their electronic
l dosimetry alarmed. Most workers quest ioned knew their alarm levels, but did not
! know which alarm level was for dose accumulated or dose rate.
The inspectors reviewed radiation exposure permits 200129,200132, and
i 200134. The inspectors noted that radiation exposure permits did not address the
actual radiological conditions in the work area. The inspectors noted that work area
radiological conditions were stated such as: Airborne >0.3 DAC Contamination
> 150,000 disintegrationr. per minute per 100 centimeters squared; and Radiation
> 1000 millirem per hour and < 500 rad per hour. Licensee procedures prescribe
l that workers are responsible for knowing the radiological conditions in their work
areas. When this was discussed with radiation protection management, the
'
inspectors were informed that the radiological briefings given by the health physics
technicians at the accer:s control points were an important part of the radiation
exposure permit process, and the point at which specific radiological conditions
were discussed with the workers.
The inspectors observed approximately ten health physics control point radiological
l briefings at the main containment access point and at the 45 foot elevation health
L physics access point inside containment, and noted that contamination and airborne
j activity levels were not discussed with the workers at these briefings.

l
The inspectors questioned a number of workers regarding the radiological conditions l
in their work area. Of the workers interviewed, most knew the general area dose l
rates in their work area. However, none of the workers interviewed knew the l
contamination levels in their work area. Approximately ten workers inside the bio- l
shield were asked if they were in a posted airbome area, and approximately half j
were not aware that they were. None of these workers knew the airborne levels.
1
'
Surveys for the containment building indicated general contamination levels inside
the bio-shield ranged from 1,000 to 15,000 disintegrations per minute per 100
centimeters squared. The inspectors noted that although the licensee posted the
bio-shield entrances as airborne, the only actual airborne areas were inside the
reactor coolant pump bowls. In general, the remainder of the area inside the bio-
shield was less than 0.3 derived air concentration (DAC) and not an airborne area.
Technical Specification 5.5.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be
established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended
i
% in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Section 7.e(1)
of Appendix A of this Regulatory Guide includes procedures for access control to
radiation areas including a radiation exposure permit system.
Procedure SO123-Vil-20.11," Access Control Program," Revision 3, states that
individuals shall read, understand, and comply with the requirements listed on the
radiation exposure permit, on radiological postings, and on health physics field
instructions. The radiation exposure permit process requires all personnel to sign-in,
which indicates that they fully understand all requirements and radiological
, conditions in their work area.
The failure of workers to know and understand radiation exposure permit
requirements is a violation of Technical Specification 5.5.1.(50-361/-362/9619-01)
c. Conclusions
, In general, access controls were appropriate and workers knew to respond properly
to electronic dosimeter alarms. A violation was identified regarding the failure of
workers to know and understand the radiological conditions in their work area.
R1.2 Internal Exoosure Controls
a. inspection Scope (83750)
Selected radiation protection personnelinvolved with the internal exposure control
program were interviewed. The following items were reviewed:
- * Air sampling program, including the use of continuous air monitors and air
filtration units.
a Respiratory protection program.
- Whole body counting program.

! b. Observations and Findinas
The inspectors noted proper use of continuous air monitors throughout the
radiological controlled area. High efficiency particulate air filtration units were
appropriately used. Job coverage air samples observed were appropriately placed
to assess work area radiological airborne conditions. Since the beginning of the
outage, five jobs required the use of respiratory protection equipment for
radiological reasons. Total effective dose equivalent /as low as is reasonably
achievable (TEDE/ALARA) evaluations for these jobs determined that resniratory
protection was appropriate. No outage-related positive whole body counts had
been identified as of December 20,1996.
c. Conclusions
The internal exposure control program was effectively implemented. Job specific air
samplers were appropriately placed to assess the airborne concentration in the work
area. No positive whole body counts had been identified
R1.3 Outaae Plannina and Preparation
a. Inspection Scope (83750)
The inspectors reviewed work records, discussed outage planning with licensee
representatives, and observed work activities in progress to verify that the
necessary planning, preparations, and management support for radiation protection i
planning was appropriate. The following items were reviewed. :
I
.
- ALARA job planning. l
- ALARA packages. l
'
- Incorporation of lessons learned from similar work.
- Inventory of radiation protection instrumentation, protective clothing, and
consumable items.
b. Observations and Findinas
lhe inspectors attended several outage planning and status meetings and noted
health physics involvement was appropriate.
l
The inspectors noted several examples of good management support of the
radiation protection program planning and preparation. The permanent health
physics staff was supplemented with contractor radiation protection technicians to
support outage work. Special training, including the use of mockup training for
j specific jobs was provided. Appropriate inventories of clothing, monitoring

instrumentation, and temporary shielding materials were provided. ALARA
,
considerations including lessons learned from past work were incorporated, and
! dose reduction methods were pursued.
c. Conclusions
,
Management provided good support for the radiation protection program. Mockups
l were used when necessary and lessons learned from past work was incorporated in
work packages.
R 1.4 Control of Radioactive Materials and Contamination: Surveyina and Monitorina
i
I
a. Inspection Scope (83750)
l Areas reviewed during tours and discussions with licensee personnelincluded:
l
l
- Contamination monitor use and response to alarms.
- Control of radioactive material.
- Portable instrumentation performance checking program.
- Adequacy of the surveys necessary to assess personnel exposure.
- Selected procedures.
l b. Observations and Findinas
All personnel observed used the whole body friskers and small article monitors
l
properly, Radiation protection personnel responded in a timely manner and provided
proper direction to workers who alarmed the monitors.
l Radiological surveys were properly documented and, in general, clearly written. A
good program for performance-checking portable radiation survey instrumentation
was implemented. The inspectors noted that the licensee performed timely
evaluations of failed performance-checked portable instrumentation.
During the review of radiological occurrence reports written since August 1995, the
inspectors noted 23 separate examples in which the licensee identified uncontrolled
i radioactive material outside the radiological controlled area. Of the 23 radioactive
materialitems found outside the radiological controlled area,7 items were identified
'
with magenta paint or radioactive material tape indicating that some workers were
.
not aware of the requirements pertaining to the release of radioactive material. The
l licensee used magenta paint to identify radioactive material, such as tools. The
inspectors noted that the 23 items were identified inside the security protected
area, either during area surveys or at the protected area holding station.
i
Technical Specification 5.5.1 requires, in part, that written procedures be
'
i established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in

l
!
of Appendix A of this Regulatory Guide includes procedures for contamination
control. Procedure SO123-Vil-20.9.2," Material Release Surveys," Revision 1, I
states that site workers are responsible for presenting all items to health physics for I
removal from a radiological controlled area / radioactive materials area (RCA/RMA)
and that health physics divisional personnel were responsible for performing surveys
in accordance with this procedure to ensure that no licensed materialis released
from an RCA/RMA.
The failure to control radioactive materialis a violation of Technical
Specification 5.5.1(50-361/-362/9619-02). Because effective corrective actions l
were not implemented after the licensee identified the first violation, the inspectors
determined that these items did not meet the criteria for exercise of discretion, as
described in Section Vll. B.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
10 CFR 20.1904(a) states, The licensee shall ensure that each container of licensed I
material bears a durable, clearly visible label bearing the radiation symbol and the l
words " CAUTION RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" or " DANGER RADIOACTIVE
MATERIAL." The label must also provide sufficient information (such as the
radionuclide(s) present, an estimate of the quantity of radioactivity, the date for l
which the activity is estimated, radiation levels, kinds of materials, and mass l
enrichment) to permit individuals handling or using the containers, or working in the
vicinity of the containers, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposures,
in general, the inspectors noted that radioactive containers were properly labeled.
However, during tours of the containment building on December 18,1996, the
inspectors identified six sealed cloth bags marked as containing radioactive material ,
(eddy current probe pushers) without any labels which indicated the radiological l
l
conditions. The licensee surveyed the bags and found approximately 3 millirem per
hour on contact and contamination levels of 30,000 disintegrations per minute per
100 centimeters squared on these items. Several other sealed cloth bags
containing radioactive material were also identified in the same general area.
Additionally, a high efficiency particulate air filtration vacuum which contained
radioactive materiallocated on the 63 foot elevation of the containment building had
radiological information written on the label but it was illegible.
The failure to properly label radioactive material containers is a violation of
10 CFR 20.1904(a)(50-361/-362/9619-03).
c. Conclusions
l
Workers used the whole body friskers and small article monitors properly.
l

R1.5 Maintainina Occupational Exoosure As Low As is Reasonabh 3 hievable (ALARA)
1
a. Insoection Scope (83750) l
l
The inspectors reviewed the ALARA program for adequacy in establishing and )
tracking performance related to ALARA goals and objectives and its effectiveness in l
maintaining doses ALARA. Radiation protection personnelinvolved with the ALARA
'
j
program were interviewed. The following areas were reviewed. j
I
- ALARA Committee support, I
- Outage exposure goal establishment and status, l
- Lesson learned capture, !
- ALARA suggestion programs, and
,
- Chemical decontamination program. j
b. Observations and Findinas
ALARA committee minutes indicated that the committee was supported by all major
-
work groups. The chairman of the ALARA committee was the Vice President of
Nuclear Generation, indicating strong management support for the ALARA program.
i
'
The licensee appropriately established exposure goals based on previous l
performance and observations of industry performance. Exposures goal were i
budgeted by each department. An exposure goal of 235 person-rem was set for l
the Unit 2 outage. As of December 18, the total dose was 70 person-rem, which
was below the projected estimate for the outage to date. Exposure goals were
challenging and developed with departmental support.
Good results were noted for the shut-down chemistry efforts utilized by the I
licensee. A total of 1480 curies of Cobalt-58 was removed at the start of the j
refueling outage. The inspectors noted good coordination between the operations j
and chemistry departments. Site and industry lessons learned for similar or repeat l
work were captured and used to improve ALARA performance. i
l
The inspectors noted that the licensee established an extensive remote job coverage i
monitoring system (CARE system) for high dose jobs such as reactor coolant pump
and primary side steam generator work. The system allowed health physics job l
coverage from outside the radiological controlled area by using tele-dosimetry, l

a
i cameras, and radio communications. Significant worker and radiation protection
j dose reduction was achieved by the use of the remote system. The inspectors
' concluded that the acquisition of this system showed strong station management
support of the ALARA program.
!
! Temporary shielding was also utilized to reduce outage exposure. A projected net
i dose savings of approximately 120 person-rem was estimated for the 36 shielding
l installations.

'
The licensee's hot spot reduction program consisted of eliminating hot spots in high j
traffic areas first and then removing others. Although, the licensee had developed a
list of hot spots it planned to eliminate, they did not know the total number of hot
spots that existed throughout the radiological controlled area. The inspectors did
not find a tracking or trending program to identify all hot spots. The inspectors
noted that the operations department was not actively involved with the radiation
protection department in establishing a priority in the removal of hot spots and
identifying problem areas.
The ALARA suggestion program had four formal suggestions submitted for 1996.
All four of the suggestions remain open.
c. Conclusionji
The licensee implemented an effective the ALARA program. Challenging goals were
set based on past performance and industry experience, reductions were achieved.
The licensee effectively maintained doses ALARA. The licensee effectively used
various methods for dose reduction including shutdown chemistry, temporary
shielding, and remote monitoring for providing job coverage. The licensee's hot
spot reduction program consisted of eliminating hot spots in high traffic areas first
and then removing others. The licensee had developed a list of hot spots it planned
to eliminate. However, they did not know the total number of hot spots that
existed throughout the radiological controlled area.
R5 Staff Training and Qualification in Radiological Protection and Chemistry
i
RS.1 Contractor Radiation Protection Trainina
a. insoection Scoce (83750) j
The inspectors reviewed the training program, licensee resources, and training
records. Training department personnel responsible for contractor outage radiation
protection technician training were interviewed. The following items were
reviewed:
- Contractor radiation protection technician training lesson plans.
- Resumes of contractor radiation protection technicians.
- . . . .
t
- ,
12-
l
,
b. Observations and Findinas
Radiation protection training instructors were well qualified and each had several
years of applied radiation protection experience. Lesson plans were comprehensive, l
detailed, and included industry and site radiation protection events. Contractor !
radiation protection technicians were required to pass the Northeast Utilities health
'
physics technician examination within the last 24 months prior to being assigned to
the training program. All outage contractor radiation protection personnel were I
tested on site specific information, and on-the-job training was given and tracked by
radiation protection supervisory personnel.
About 77 health physics contractors were hired to support outage activities.
Randomly selected contractor resumes were reviewed. The inspectors noted that
more than 50 percent of the health physics contractors were returnees. It was l
noted that these contractor workers were all American Nuclear Standards
Institute 3.1 (3 years of radiation protection experience) level technicians, Technical
Specifications only required ANSI 18.1 (2 years of radiation protection experience) l
level technicians.
c. Conclusions
Radiation protection training instructors were well qualified and had years of applied
radiation protection experience. An appropriate number of trained and qualified
radiation protection personnel were onsite to support outage work. A large
percentage of contractor radiation protection technicians were returnees. All
contract radiation protection technicians were ANSI 3.1 level technicians, where as
the Technical Specifications only required 18.1 level technicians.
R6 Radiological Protection and Chemistry Organization and Administration
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's organizational structure and held discussions
with licensee personnel. The licensee's organizational structure for implementing
the radiation protection and ALARA program responsibilities had a clear delineation
of authority and responsibility. The licensee maintained an appropriate organization
to effectively implement the radiation protection program.
R7 Qualit; Assurance in Radiological Protection and Chemistry Activities
,
P7. i Quality Assurance Audits and Surveillances, and Radiation Department Self-
Assessments and Radioloaical Occurrence Reports
a. Inspection Scope (83750)
The inspectors reviewed audits a" ! self-assessments that evaluated the radiation
protection program implementation and its effectiveness. Selected personnel
involved with the performance of quality assurance audits and surveillances, and
a
3
-13-
radiation department self-assessments were hiterviewed. The following items were
reviewed:
- Qualifications of personnel who performed quality assurance audits and
surveillances.
- Quality assurance audits performed since August 1995.
-
Quality assurance surveillances performed since August 1995.

- Radiological occurrence reports written since August 1995. )
b. Observations and Findinas
Audits, surveillances, and self-assessments were used by the licensee to evaluate
the effective implementation of the radiation protection program. The radiation
protection program audit performed in December,1995, was a good assessment of
the radiation protection program and a good tool for station management to assess
performance in this area. The audit was comprehensive and covered the major
aspects of the radiation protection program. The audit was supplemented by I
<
surveillances and activity observation reports. The audit effectively identified l
problems and areas for improvement. These were elevated to the proper level of l
management attention for resolution. Appropriate corrective actions were
implemented in a timely manner.
Nuclear Oversite Division auditors assigned to assess the radiation protection
program were well experienced, with a number of years of radiation protection
experience. The 1996 surveillance / observation schedule was reviewed and found
to address the appropriate program areas. Radiation protection department I
management was actively involved in identifying potential problem program areas to
be audited. In 1996, only one surveillance was performed; however, a number of
field observations were performed. The inspectors noted that field observations
were less detailed than surveillances. Although procedural expectations were met,
the inspectors noted that a better balance between surveillances and field
observations might provide more insight to the radiation protection program. The
licensee acknowledged the inspectors' observation.
The inspectors noted the licensee did not utilize outside personnel to perform health
physics audits. However, discussions with the licensee staff indicated that future
audits would likely include technical experts from other power stations.
