SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50 29/97-02
Dear Ms. Grant:
On August 14,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Yankee reactor facility in
Rowe, Massachusetts. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
During the period covered by this inspection, your. conduct of activities at the Yankee
facility was generally characterized by safety conscious operations and careful radiological
controls. Within the scope of this inspection, you had in place effective programs for
protecting the safety of workers during dismantlement and decommissioning activities.
The reactor vessel shipment was very well planned and implemented and shipment records
were well maintained. Employee training for radiation protection technicians was very
good. Internal and external radiation exposure controls were also very good.
Housekeeping in radiological areas was not consistent, but improvement was noted.
Control of radioactive material and contamination was effective and labeling of radioactive
material was much improved. Your staff continued to perform good planning for
decommissioning and dismantlement activities, including maintaining occupational
exposures ALARA. No major deficiencies or violations of regulatory requirements were
,
identified.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
ORIGINAL SIGNED BY:
John R. White, Chief
