Subject:
Inspection Report 50-309/87-08
A radiological controls inspection was conducted at the Maine Yankee Atomic
Power Station by Mr. R. L. Nimitz of this office on April 27-30'and May 8-13,
1987. The findings of the inspection were discussed with Mr. J. Garrity and
other members of your staff. During the period April 27-30, 1987 we reviewed
your routine radiological controls for the outage. During the period May 8-13,
1987, we reviewed the circumstances, your evaluations and corrective actions
following the discovery of a 1000 R/hr loose object in the Containment
Building. We also reviewed several worker concerns brought to the attention of
this office.
There were five apparent violations identified in the areas of high radiation
area posting and access control, adherence to radiation protection procedures,
instructions to workers and surveys to identify the origin of the 1000 R/hr
object.
We also identified programmatic weaknesses in the areas of airborne radioactivi-
ty sampling and analysis, personnel contamination' control, exposure evaluations
and effluent monitoring.
The apparent violations and programmatic weaknesses
are discussed in the enclosed inspection report.
_
'
As a result of these findings, we have scheduled an Enforcemen't Conference with
you to discuss them. At this conference, you should be prepared to discuss the-
findings and your plans for improving your radiological controls program in
the areas of oversight and control of radiological work activities.
This conference has been scheduled for June 8,1987.
No response-to this letter is required.
