NAR 2 71986
Docket No. 50-213
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company
ATTN: Mr. J. F. Opeka
Senior Vice President - Nuclear-
Engineering and Operations Group
P. O. Box 270
Hartford, Connecticut 06101
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-213/86-04
A routine safety inspection of your solid radioactive waste preparation,
packaging and shipping program was conducted by Mr. H. Bicehouse of this office
on March 10-14, 1986, of activities authorized by NRC License No. OPR-61. Our
findings were discussed with Mr. R. Graves and others of your staff at the
conclusion of the inspection on March 14, 1986.
The areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I
Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the
inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative
records, interviews with personnel and observations by the inspector.
The inspection indicated that your program failed to account for the presence
of Iron-55 in at least 18 radioactive waste shipments resulting in.three
apparent. violations of NRC requirements.
In addition, your procedure failed to
provide acceptance criteria for verification of the identity and activity of
the radionuclides in radioactive waste shipments resulting in another apparent
violation of. NRC requirements. Details are provided in Sections 4 2, 6.1, and
.
6.4 of the enclosed Inspection Report.
We have reviewed the actions taken to correct the violations brought to your
attention in the enclosures to. our letters, dated August 6,1984, and June 29,
1985. The corrective actions stated in your letters, dated September 5, 1984,
and July 26, 1985, appear to be adequate to prevent recurrence. However, we
are concerned that your quality assurance program apparently failed to identify
the omission of Iron-55 in the waste shipment manifests and shipping papers.
The need for and nature of appropriate enforcement action relative to the
apparent violations will be the subject of separate correspondence at a later
time.
