SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-445/99-06; 50-446/99-06
Dear Mr. Terry:
This refers to the inspection conducted on March 29 through April 2,1999, at the Comanche
Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 facilities. The purpose of this inspection was to
focus on the radiation protection program activities during the Unit 2 refueling outage. The
enclosed report presents the results of this inspection. A telephonic exit meeting was
conducted with members of your staff on April 28,1999.
In general, the radiation protection program was well implemented. However, a number of
problems were identified by the NRC. These included three examples of failing to survey, three
examples of failing to fully evaluate the use of temporary shielding, two instances of failing to
post hot spots, and two occurrences in which personnel did not respond to continuous air
monitor audible and visual alert / fault alarms.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of NRC
requirements occurred. The first violation involved three examples of failure to perform
radiological surveys, and the second violation involved the failure to perform complete
radiological evaluations on temporary shielding packages. These violations are being treated
as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. These
NCVs are described in the subject inspection report, if you contest the violation or severity
level of these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection
report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document
Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region
IV, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555-0001.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosure, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
