50-454/99016(DRS); 50-455/99016(DRS)

Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On September 10,1999, the NRC completed an inspection of the radiation protection and
chemistry programs at your Byron Generating Station. The results of this inspection were
discussed on that date with Mr. Lopriore and other members of your staff. The enclosed report
presents the results of this inspection. Based on this inspection, no violations of NRC
requirements were identified.
The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to
radiation safety, to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations, and with the
conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of review of the water chemistry control
program, the chemistry instrument quality control and inter-laboratory comparison programs,
quality assurance activities in chemistry, technician performance and training, area radiation
monitors, control room habitability, and a spent resin radioactive waste shipment. Within these
areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative
records, observations of activities, and discussions with personnel.
i
l
The water chemistry program was well implemented, rosulting in effective control of plant water
chemistry. Laboratory quality assurance was effectively implemented, ensuring that laboratory
instrumentation operated within statistical controllimits. Assessments of the chemistry program
were of sufficient scope and depth to identifying program deficiencies. The chemistry
technician continuing training program was well structured and presentations were effective.
Chemistry personnel followed procedures during sample collection and exhibited good radiation
worker practices. The control room engineered safety feature filtration system was well
implemented. The September 9,1999 radioactive waste shipment was properly packaged and
. shipping documents were properly completed.
