SUBJECT:
NRC RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT 50-dS/98010(DRS)
AND NOTICE OF VIOL.ATION
i
Dear Mr. Wood:
On June 11,1998, the NRC completed a routine inspection at your Davis-Besso Nuclear Power
Station. The enclosed report summarizes the results of this inspection.
)
The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to
i
l
radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the
conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures
and representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel. Specifically, the
1
inspection focussed on the radiological effluent monitoring and control program, including
process monitor calibration and Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) implementation, the
maintenance of the station emergency and control emergency ventilation systems, and the ' solid
i
radioactive waste management and transportation program.
Overall, the radiological effluent monitoring and control, and solid radioactive waste
management and transportation programs were effectively implemented. Effluent releases
remained low,' associated offsite dose ~was calculated in accordance with the ODCM, and both
process monitors and emergency ventilation systems were adequately maintained and
1
calibrated or tested, as applicable. Solid radioactive waste was characterized, packaged, and
j
shipped in accordance with regulatory requirements and station procedures. Station personnel
j
responsible for these areas maintained good oversight of the programs and displayed a sense
.of ownership.
j
However, one violation of regulatory requirements was identified for failing to audit the Process
. Control Program (PCP) and radioactive waste processing activities at the required interval.
Additionally, a weakness was identified with the development of the PCP, conceming the
frequency that dewatered wet wastes were sampled and verified to ensure that regulatory limits
j
.
for free standing liquid were met. Several examples of documentation errors in the annual
,
[ -.
effluent report and ODCM were also identified.
