License. .
,A. Organizational Structure Section 4 of- Append'i x A' of License SNM-960 requires that- the

^
p s No;VTSC meeting was held in the second quarter of 1985. A statement indicating a review of~ activities and events of inte nst to the VTSC resulted in no meeting being scheduled was signed by the manager of nuclear safety and quality assurance who serves as secretary of the VTSC. <

- The inspector's review of thie licensee's incident investigations indicated'the licensee's response appeared appropriate. However, the 'need for in-depth reviews was supported by another nonreportable incident involving onsite. contamination, with State licensed i materials,'outside of a restricted area. The review concluded the
. licensee's radiation safety and training programs are adequate; however, the' radiation safety program appears.to be.at the minimum staffing'. level (see Section 6, Radiation Protection, for details).
~
No, violations were identified.
- 3. operator Training and Retraining Section' 5.8' of Appendix A requires Area knagers assure that new employees receive instruction in criticality safety, plant operating and emergency procedures prior to working with special nuclear. materials, sThe criticality safety training may be conducted with the radiation safety training. - A written test.shall be completed, evaluated and the results forwarded-to the appropriate area manager.
The'inspectar found that appropriate training required by 10 CFR 19.12 is e
given to all new employees, visitors and contractors before they are.
allowed ~to. work in a radiation area. The appropriate requalification training and t.edical examinations!are given to. persons on a yearly basis who use SCSh in their work or for emergency purposes.. Use;oflother respiratory protective devices also require. training and a-medical examination prior to.use.
The advanced course in radiation and criticality safety required of
" radiation workers" has not been given in .over one year. Progress in this area will b'e reviewed durf ng the next inspection (85-02-01).

A. External Radiation Exposures J An: examination' by the inspectoi of Tthe 1985 Film (TLD)' badge results disclosed that most exposures 'were near the minimum level of
, detection with.a' few higher exposures received by persons working in the hot; cell area. The high' quarterly exposure of 1780 mrem in this
~
. area was' examined,in detail. Jt was found that-the. employee's NRC-4

D. Retiling of Access Corridor to Hot Cells The health physics preparations and actual retiling operation in the access corridor adjacent to the hot cells was observed by the inspector. Discussions with health physics personnel and the retiling craftsman indicated that wipe and air sampling, use of protective clothing, radiation surveys and job related safety training were performed in accordance with the licensee's procedures, 10 CFR 20 and good health physics practice. It was noted that the health physics technician had made appropriate evaluations prior to, during and af ter the job was completed.
Surveys were made and records were maintained.
- 7. Emergency Preparedness Section 4.9 of the license application addresses the plans for a prompt response to various types of emergencies.
The. licensee fire brigade _has been terminated. The Building Emergency personnel are receiving training that has now been expanded to include the use of the 1.5"_ fire hoses to improve their fire control capability.
The licensee has. broadened the training program to include the use of two offsite sources. <This training is to be completed by the end of October 1985. This will be reviewed during the next inspection (85-02-02).
The licensee and the California Division of Forestry (CDF) in Sunol are cooperating in'an effort to keep the CDF abreast of the status of the licensee's site. The NRC inspectorivisited the CDF and discussed the status of their. familiarization visits to the licensee's site. The CDF provided p,hidance to the licensee for updating the pre-plans used for familiarizing thel CDF, fire; fighters with pertinent building specific information.' The,, licensee indicated the pre plan updating would be completed by the end of the year. This will be reviewed during the next inspection.(85-02-03).

- 8. Environmental Protection The licensee has been authorized, pursuant to 10 CFR 20.106(b), to release radioactive materials in accordance with Section 8.11, " Airborne Effluent Control," of Appendix A of the application.
The licensee conducts an effluent monitoring and environmental surveillance program and issues semiannual effluentLmonitoring reports as required by 10 CFR 70.59(a)(1). An examination of these reports by the inspector indicates the licensee's releases are within regulatory limits.
