.g-ENCLOSURE (1) i REPLY TO NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/88-10; 50-318/88-11 APPARENT VIOLATION Appendix A to the report identified a failure to properly caution a respirator wearer prior to administering a respirator fit test.
BG&E Resoonse 1.
Technical Specification 6.11 requires procedures for personnel radiation protection to be prepared consistent with requirements of 10 CFR 20. Addition-ally, it requires these procedures to be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
Radiation Safety Procedure (RSP) 1-117, "Selection, Issuance and Wearing of Respiratory Protection Devices Used at CCNPP" addresses this requirement. It states that prior to administering the Stannic Chloride Smoke Test to a respirator wearer, the wearer should be cautioned to keep his eyes closed and to take shallow breaths.
A.
Corrective Steos :Nken and Results Achieved BG&E identified that a Radiation Safety Technician (RST) administered the Stannie Chloride Smoke Test on April 26, 1988, to a respirator wearer witliout first properly cautioning that wearer.
From the follow-up investigations, the corrective actions taken were: the responsible RST was counselled and the details of this incident were reviewed with RSTs. In addition, a directive was issued by RST supervision to require all RSTs to review the Stannic Chloride Smoke Test Procedure with emphasis on proper cautioning. These actions were discussed with the Resident NRC Inspector and compit;ed on May 15, 1988, for all, except two, RSTs. These two RSTs and all Dosimetry Technicians reviewed the procedure on May 12,1988.
The Stannic Chloride Smoke Test is conducted by BG&E to detect poor respirator fit and/or poor respirator operation as recommended by NUREG-0041 and ANSI Z88.2-1980. The worker health and safety benefits l
arising fre.n the use of this test significantly overshadow the minimal I
health risks associated with an inadvertent whiff of the smoke irritant.
Incidents of inadvertent inhalation of the smoke irritant are rare.
Given the nature of the incident and noting we were involved with a multitude of activities associated with a refueling outage, the timeframe for :ompleting the corrective actions was considered appropriate.
i B.
Corrective Steos Which Will be Taken to Avoid Further Violations Lessons learned from this incident are being factored into General Orientation Training and Employee Requalification Training as appropriate. lu

Dear Dr. Glenn:
I have known Dr. Raul Ravelo since July, 1983 when he began his Residency training at the University of Maryland Hospital and School of Medicine.
At that time, I was the Director of the Residency Training Program for our department and I remained in that position during his entire training.
Dr. Ravelo has _had extensive experience with treatment planning, brachytherapy calibration, survey meter calibration and use, quality control and radiation safety in the handling and use of sealed sources.
He actively participated in all the activities of the Department and satisfactorily completed his Residency training in June, 1986.
I would certainly recommend him for priviledges at your Institution.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesistate to contact me.
Sincerely, i
