i SUBJECT: 'NRC ROUTINE RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORTS NO. 50 .

456/96015(DRS); 50-457/96015(DRS)

} Dear Mr. Stanley:

,

l;- This refers to the inspection completed.on October 18,1996 at your Braidwood facility.

The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

-This insp'ection included an announced review of the licensee's radiation monitoring

system, the control room and auxiliary building filtered Heating, Ventilation, and Air-

l Conditioning (HVAC) systems, and an inspection of radioactive waste system tank rooms. l

Special emphasis was placed on operability, and material condition of these systems. . In i

-

addition, a routine review of activities for the Unit 1 mid-cycle outage was conducted.

ll This inspection noted that the material condition of the radioactive waste tank rooms was .

j good as evidenced by adequate housekeeping in the areas, minimal contaminated area, i

and the low number of outstanding work request items for the equipment in these rooms.

Likewise the HVAC systems inspected were free of debris and found in good working

! order.

The radiation monitors inspected were in good working order and appropriate corrective

t

actions were being implemented for the' four monitors which exhibit recurring operability

problems. However, the inspection identified that the basis document for the alarm set

i point calculations for these monitors was informally controlled.

.

!

This inspection also noted that good radiological controls were being provided by the

,,

'

radiation protection (RP) organization for work activities ongoing during the Unit 1 mid-

cycle outage. However, a review of the work control process noted a communication

deficiency which contributes to issues not being evaluated or discussed until the final

stages of the planning process, especially for short lead time activities.

l

!' No violations of NRC requirements were identifie'd during this inspection.
