Gentlemen:
Subject: NRC Inspection Report No. 50-333/89-13
A special radiological controls inspection was conducted by Mr. R. L. Nimitz
of this office during the period of June 13-15, 1989. 'Ihe purpose of this
inspection was to review the circumstances, evaluations and corrective actions
associated with the unplanned exposure of personnel on June 12, 1989. The
findings of the inspection were dimed with you and members of your staff on
June 15, 1989. Areas reviewed during the inspection are di m m W in the
enclosed NRC Inspection Report.
One apparent violation was identified and is described in the enclosed Notice
of Violation. The violation involved inadequate radiological surveys for Spent
Fuel Pool work activities. You are required to respond to the Notice ard should
follow the instructions contained therein.
Our review fourd that effective action was taken to retrieve the object that was
the source of radiation for the unplanned perc h exposures. We also found
that effective action was taken to preclude exposure from similar sources which
may have been present at the time. The dose ve~-uts performed for the
personnel involved were acceptable. However, the unplanned exposures suggest
lack of effective oversig}t of radiologically significant Spent Fuel Fool work
activities. In your reply. please provide details as to the actions which have
been or will be taken to ensure perronnel workirg in and around the Spent Fuel
Fool will be protected frun unplanned exposures during handlire of highly
radioactive componerits and equipment contained in or removed frun the Spent Fuel
Pool.
Sincerely,
