SUBJECT:
. NRC RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORTS 50-254/98016(DRS);
,
50-265/98016(DRS)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On August 14,1998, the NRC completed an inspection of the radiation protection program at
your Quad Cities Nuclear Plant. The results of this inspection were discussed on that date with
4
Mr. Pearce and other members of your staff. The enclosed report presents the results of that
inspection.
,
The purpose of the inspection was to review portions of the radiation protection program,
including external and internal exposure control, whole body counting, and contamination and
dose rate' survey monitoring programs. The inspection also included a review of source term
reduction efforts, and observations of several radiation safety significant jobs. In addition, an
open item regarding the condition of portable instrument daily check sources was reviewed and
closed.
Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of NRC requirements were identified.
Overall, the internal and extemal exposure control, whole body counting, and contamination
and survey monitoring programs were effectively implemented. Good communication between
radiation protection technicians and workers was observed during several radiologically
significant jobs, and radiation worker practices were considered good. However, numerous
examples were identified where procedures or other documents contained minor errors or
where additional guidance or clarification was needed.
Ir accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its
" enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
