- f. Notification and Reports 10 CFR 20 requires certain reports and notifications as follows:
10 CFR 20.402 - Loss or Theft of Material 10 CFR 20.403 - Incidents 10 CFR 20.405 - Overexposure 10 CFR 20.408 - Termination Reports to the NRC 10 CFR 20.409_ - Tennination Reports to the Individual' The inspector discussed the conditions or situations which would have required a report under 10 CFR 20.402, 20.403, or 20.405 with the l
cognizant licensee supervisors. No instances were known to the licensee which would have recuired such reports. Through review of selected records and discuss"ons with licensee representatives, the inspector determined that the above requirements had been met.
- g. Internal Exposure Control (1) Air Sampling The licensee is required by 10 CFR 20.103, 20.201(b), and 20.401 to control intakes of radioactive material, assess such intakes and to maintain records of such intakes. During plant tours, the inspector observed the use of ventilation systems and containment structures. The inspector discussed the use of this equipnent with radiation protection personnel.
10 CFR 20.103(a)(1) specifies the' limits for exposure of individuals to concentrations of radioactive materials in air in restricted areas. 10 CFR 20.103(b)(2) further requires that suitable measurements of concentrations of radioactive material in air be performed to detect and evaluate the airborne radioactivity in restricted areas. The inspector reviewed the results of the fixed air samplers for the various areas of the plant during 1987, and noted that in general, Maximum Permissible Concentrations (MPC), averaged over an eight-hour period, were well below limits specified in 10 CFR 20, '
Appendix B, Column 1.

Part 1, Section 3.2.4.3.3 of the application for License l
No. SNM-1097, requires establishment of routine in-vivo lung ;
l counting frequencies for individuals who work in areas where l l nontransportable uranium compounds are processed. i The inspector reviewed Procedures, NSI No. E-9.0, "Whole Body Counter Calibration," and NSI No. 0-2.0, " Bioassay - Vrinalysis l
Program," which implemented the above license requirements. The i formulae specified for calculating intakes were consistent with WASH-1251, " Application of Bioassay for Uranium," June 1974. ,
The inspector .eviewed selected results of urinalyses and in-vivo lung counts of selected personnel performed during 1987, and determined that among those reviewed, no worker had exceeded the licensee's action limits as specified in the license application.
- h. Caution, Signs, Labels and Controls 10 CFR 20.203 specifies the posting, labeling and control requirements for radiation areas, high radiation areas, airborne radioactivity areas and radioactive materials. During tours of the facility, the inspector reviewed the licensee's posting and control of radiation areas, airborne radioactivity areas, contaminated areas, and radioactive material areas.
l
- 1. ALARA Program (1) Part 1, Section 2.3.1 of the SNM-1097 Application requires that an annual ALARA review will be performed which considers the following:
Programs and projects undertaken by the radiation safety function and the operational radiation safety committee.
Performance including, but not limited to trends in airborne concentrations of radioactivity, personnel exposure and environmental monitoring results.
l Programs for improving the effectiveness of equipment used l
for effluent and exposure control.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's annual ALARA review dated October 26, 1986. The review indicated that personnel internal exposures within the controlled area were comparable to those calculated from air sample data and that internal exposures-continued to be reduced to as low as reasonally achievable.

10 Discussion and Findings The inspector discussed this matter with licensee management' representatives and determined through discussions and interview of licensee personnel that there had been a leak of uranium bearing liquids found in the chemical area penetrating the curbed flooring on April 8,1987. Subsequent investigation discovered a void under the concrete as well as contaminated dirt. . The inspector reviewed a Radiation Protection Unusual Incident Report, dated April 8,1987, ,
which documented this event. The licensee formed a investigative j team made up of shop operations facility engineering, and Nuclear Safety Engineering and Environmental Protection personnel to determine the extent of the void and radioactivity, excavate the contaminated dirt and concrete, repair the flooring, dispose of the excavated material and conduct preventive maintenance for other potential 3 problem areas. The licensee completed these task and released the j area back for normal use. The inspector concluded that this :
allegation was not substantiated, in that, the event was well documented, and controlled and cleaned up promptly when detected.
No violations or deviations were identified.

- c. Allegation (2870081002) i There is no forty hour per week air sampling to indicate cummulative
! dosage in the chemical laboratory. The air samples taken daily read extremely low. The sensitivity of the equipment cannot account for the quantities not registered, therefore, if these quantities are accumulated, a representative sample would be provided.
l Discussion and Findings The inspector discussed this issue with the Radiation Protection Manager and two Radiation Protection Technicians. Through these interviews it was determined that there is no requirement for a forty hour per week air sample to indicate cumulative dosage in the Chemet laboratory. Air samples in the Chemet laboratory are changed every eight hours and averaged over a forty- hour period to control l personnel intake of radioactive material in air. Air sample results l for the period of January to August 1987, in the Chemet laboratory
, that were reviewed by the inspector revealed that the airborne l uranium concentrations were less than one-tenth of one-percent the concentration specified in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 1, Column 1.
This allegation was substantiated, in that, there is no forty hour per week air sample taken in the chemical laboratory, however, no regulatory requirements were violated.
No violations or deviations were identified.
