SUMMARY

Scope

This routine, unannounced inspection was conducted in the areas of: radiation

protection preparation for the Unit 2 refueling outage scheduled for

March 24-April 26,1989; licensee responses to information notices; licensee

event reports; and followup on previous enforcement matters.

Results

In the areas inspected, one licensee identified violation (LIV) was identified.

The licensee's radiation protection program was assessed to be adequate in the

areas covered during the inspection.

Extensive efforts by the licensee in

securing existing high radiation areas with locking devices and identifying

potential high radiatior, areas, so that measures could be taken to secure those

l

areas, were noted.

The licensee's three-year collective dose average

j

(1985-1987) was below the national average for that same time period for a

l

pressurized water reactor (PWR).

It should be noted that the licensee compared favorably with the

The licensee exceeded these

averages in only two cases, namely secondary side SG inspection and

repair (11 person-rem vs. 18 person-rem) and operations-surveillance,

routines, and valve lineups (7 person-rem vs. 15 person-rem).

No violations or deviations were identified.

Radiation Dose Goals

statistics for 1988, and collective dose estimates for 1989.

1988, the licensee estimated a collective dose for both units of

The actual collective

dose for 1988 was 552 person-rem (or 276 person-rem for unit).

The licensee's three-year (1985-1987) collective dose average was

below the national average for that same time period for a PWR

(376 person-rem vs. 297 person-rem).

For 1989, the licensee

projected a total collective dose of 772 person-rem.

Although this

projection was much higher than the 1988 projection, it should be

noted that the licensee has scheduled two refueling outages for 1989.

No violations or deviations were identified.

f.

ALARA Goals and Initiatives

The inspector discussed with licensee representatives, several

methods for reducing out-of-core radiation sources and fields which

would offer the greatest potential for continued reductions in

occupational radiation exposure.

The licensee was in the process of

performing feasibility studies on the use of industry-developed

methods of controlling out-of-core radiation sources and fields.

Some of the methods discussed included:

(1) use of Zircaloy grids

(or low cobalt grids) in replacement fuel; (2) replacement of wearing

!

valves with cobalt free alternatives; (3) upgrading of the component

valve packing program; (4) use of ultrafiltration techniques and

(5) control of crud transport (that is, water chemistry control

program).

The inspector also discussed the ALARA goals with licensee

representatives, including contamination control. The radiation dose

goals have been discussed in Section 2.e of this inspection report.

As of February 4,

1989, the licensee controlled approximately

11,412 square feet (ft2) out of a total area of 114,182 ft2 as

contaminated areas. This contaminated area represented approximately

9.9% of the total plant.

The licensee's goal was to keep the total

contaminated area below 10%.

In the containment, typical

contamination levels ranged from 2,000-4,000 disintegrations per

minute per 100 square centimeters (dpm per 100 cm2).

Additionally,

the inspector discussed personnel contaminations with licensee

representatives.

In 1988, the total number of skin and clothing

contaminations was 120.

This number was six times greater than the

the licensee established a personnel contamination goal of 100.

During 1988, the licensee did experience some personnel

contaminations involving discrete radioactive particulate

(that is,

" hot particles"); however, in all cases the contaminations were on

the clothing and involved insignificant skin doses.

The particles

were a mixture of activation products and fission products and

probably could be attributed to the failed fuel experience during

1982-1983.

No violations or deviations were identified,

Licensee Event Reports (92700)

The inspector reviewed Licensee Event Report (LER) 88-15, " Contractor

Received Total Dose of 1,252 millirem (mrem) for the Second Quarter 1988,"

to ascertain that the licensee's report and stated corrective actions were

timely and appropriate, that the licensee determined the cause of the

event, and that the licensee's Quality Assurance (QA) program practices

and procedures, when appropriate, were strengthened to prevent recurrence.

The apparent cause of this

event was cognitive personnel error in that the HP Sector Supervisor who

approved an extension from 1,250 mrem per quarter for an " undocumented"

worker to 2,000 mrem per quarter for a " documented" worker failed to

follow HP procedures and performed an inadequate review of the dose

under any circumstances.

The plant's administrative limit was changed to 900 mrem per quarter.

To exceed the limit, an approval frem the General Manager was

required.

The licensee's computerized dose tracking system was revised so that

computer program would not allow the system user to extend the

violation was not cited (LIV 50-348/89-04-01).
