inspection / assessment area.
Issue: The RP inspection thrust is outdated and emphasizes compliance with little assessment guidelines particularly in the ALARA arena.
Suggestion: Rewrite the RP inspection procedure with assessment of exposure reduction / control as the focus.
- utilize NUREG 0713 to make exposure comparisons against the industry. (Outage information is needed to improve the comparisons)
- utilize EPRI source term reports to make comparisons against the industry. This allows a further determination of high exposure causes to be determined. (EPRI reports are not complete. The dose rate information is available directly through GE and Westinghouse and should be captured for regular publication for use by the NRC and industry) l have recently led an ALARA team inspection at Oyster Creek (the highest dose plant in the US) and utilized the above mentioned reports as analytical tools to understand why exposure performance has been high, and then to measure licensee's actions relative to their exposure challenges.
