' SUBJECT: ' NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO.- 50-29/96-04
Dear Mr'. Mellor::
On November 21,'1996, the NRC completed an inspection at your Yankee reactor facility .
Lin Rowe, Massachusetts. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
i
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
l
controls. Within the se: ope of this inspection, you had in place effective programs for
protecting the safety of workers during dismantlement and decommissioning activities,
particularly during the reactor vessel removal project. 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 dismanticment
activities, including maintaining occupational exposures ALARA. Internal and external
exposure controls were appropriate. Radiological surveys and monitoring were performed
as required and contamination controls were very good. Facility tours indicated good
housekeeping.in contaminated areas. Engineering design changes we a appropriately
reviewed and did not involve an unresolved safety issue for three modifications. No major
deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements were identified.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
John White, Chief
Radiation Safety Branch
Division of Reactor Safety
