Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-293/85-32
l
A routine radiological safety inspection was conducted by Mr. R. L. Nimitz on
l
November 17-22, 1985 of your Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. The findings of
the inspection were discussed with Mr. A. L. Oxsen at the conclusion of the
inspection.
-
The inspection covered implementation of your Radiological Improvement
Program, radiological controls for fuel pool re-racking and radwaste
concentrator removal, and calibration and testing of effluent monitors.
Regarding fuel pool and concentrator work, some concerns were identified in the
area of management oversight of the work. These concerns have been discussed
and acknowledged by your staff, and corrective actions are being implemented.
In-field radiological cont.rols for the concentrator work were commendable.
Regarding the Radiological Improvement Program (RIP), some concerns were
identified in the area of technical adequacy and quality of procedures being
developed to satisfy RIP commitments.
Your staff has taken action to resolve
this concern.
Two violations were identified.
The first involved failure to perform monthly
tests on waste gas monitors.
Please reply to this matter in accordance with
the enclosed Appendix A.
The second violation involved failure to perform a
proper search of a package brought into the protected area.
Our review of this security problem indicated inadequate corrective action was
taken by your contracted security force when this problem was brought to their
attention by our inspector. Although BEco Security staff took timely correc-
tive action for this problem once they became aware of it, we are concerned
about the adequacy of the response to this problem by your contractor.
Please
respond to this matter in accordance with the enclosed Appendix B.
In your
response, you should identify what actions have been taken to improve the
response of your security contractor to identified problems.
