            Gentlemen:
          -Subject:    Inspection.Nos. 50-317/86-05 and 50-318/86-05
            This refers to your letter dated May 17, 1986, in response to our letter dated
            April.17, 1986.
                                                                                                                            '
            Thank you for. informing us of.the corrective and preventive actions documented                                  '
            in your letter. These actions will be examined .during a future inspection of
            your. licensed program.
            With regard to Item A, we have; reviewed your. audit report, dated April '17,
          ~1986, for -the- Quality Assurance Audit -QAP-8 (Dosimetry and Respiratory-
          : Protection) performed February 11 through March 17, 1986. This audit includes
            Finding Number 86-09-02, failure to have an approved procedure for operation
            of the standup whole body counter. Although this audit was ongoing during our
            inspection of March 3-7, 1986, it was not documented until after completion of
          -our inspection.        Discussion by the NRC Resident Inspector with the QA auditor                              i
            on May 28, 1986, indicated that this item was identified prior to the- begin-
            ning of our inspection. Therefore, Item A meets all of the requirements of 10
            CFR 2,' Appendix C, for a violation for which -the NRC will not generally issue:
                                          -
            a notice of violation: -(1) it was identified by the licensee; (2) it fits in:
          -Severity Level IV or V; (3)-it was reported, if required; (4) it was or will
            be corrected, -including measures to prevent recurrence, within a reasonable
            time; and (5) it was not a violation that could-reasonably be expected to have
          .been prevented _ by the licensee's corrective action for a previous violation.
            Item A is retracted. We will modify.our records accordingly.
            Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
                                                            Sincerely,

                                      REPLY TO APPENDIX A OF NRC
                              INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/86-05; 50-318/86-05
          ITEM A
          At the time of the inspection, the computerized chest counter was in use to supplement
          approved procedures for identifying personnel having potential internal contamination.
          The chest counter identifies those personnel whose counts are statistically greater than
          background levels and instructs the operator to perform, as necessary, whole body counts
          using an approved procedure in accordance with Technical Specification 6.8.1.a. The
          chest counter was not used to perform analytical measurements to assess internal
          intakes.
          This use of a draft procedure was identified as a deficiency by the Baltimore Gas and
          Electric (BG&E) Company prior to the inspection during a recent Quality Assurance
          audit. This fact was communicated by Mr. E. H. Roach of our staff, to Mr. J. J. Kottan
          of your staff, prior to the exit meeting. A commitment was made to our internal Quality
          Assurance organization prior to the NRC inspection to formalize the procedure for the
          operation of the chest counter. This draf t procedure will be approved and implemented
          by June 1,1986. Because this is a licensee-identified item, which will be corrected under
          existing BG&E programs, and because we believe this screening procedure is not required
          to comply with existing regulations, we request you reconsider issuing the subject
          violation.
l          ITEM B
l
          We have reviewed the circumstances that led to the apparent violation of Technical
l          Specifications 4.6.3.1, 4.6.6.1, 4.7.6.1, 4.7.7.1, and 4.9.12. This event was caused by an
          apparent misinterpretation of the Surveillance Requirements and a miscommunication
          with the contractor involved. Accordingly, the corrective action stated below will be
          implemented to ensure that similar violations will not recur in the future.
          The appropriate procedures will be revised to ensure that two separate samples are
          analyzed in accordance with the Surveillance Requirements. In addition, our contracts
          with outside laboratories will be altered to ensure that two distinct laboratory analyses
          are performed. These changes will be made by September 1,1986.
          Furthermore, we are considering submitting a license amendment request that changes
          the applicable Technical Specifications such that only one analysis is required of the
          charcoal sample. The procedures will then be revised again if a new Surveillance
          Requirement is issued.
                                                        .

           Gentlemen:

           This refers to your letter dated May 17, 1986, in response to our letter dated
           April.17, 1986.
                                                                                                                            '
           Thank you for. informing us of.the corrective and preventive actions documented                                  '
           in your letter. These actions will be examined .during a future inspection of
           your. licensed program.
           With regard to Item A, we have; reviewed your. audit report, dated April '17,
          ~1986, for -the- Quality Assurance Audit -QAP-8 (Dosimetry and Respiratory-
         : Protection) performed February 11 through March 17, 1986. This audit includes
           Finding Number 86-09-02, failure to have an approved procedure for operation
           of the standup whole body counter. Although this audit was ongoing during our
           inspection of March 3-7, 1986, it was not documented until after completion of
         -our inspection.         Discussion by the NRC Resident Inspector with the QA auditor                              i
           on May 28, 1986, indicated that this item was identified prior to the- begin-
           ning of our inspection. Therefore, Item A meets all of the requirements of 10
           CFR 2,' Appendix C, for a violation for which -the NRC will not generally issue:
                                         -
           a notice of violation: -(1) it was identified by the licensee; (2) it fits in:
          -Severity Level IV or V; (3)-it was reported, if required; (4) it was or will

          .been prevented _ by the licensee's corrective action for a previous violation.
           Item A is retracted. We will modify.our records accordingly.
           Your cooperation with us is appreciated.

                              INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/86-05; 50-318/86-05
         ITEM A
         At the time of the inspection, the computerized chest counter was in use to supplement
         approved procedures for identifying personnel having potential internal contamination.
         The chest counter identifies those personnel whose counts are statistically greater than
         background levels and instructs the operator to perform, as necessary, whole body counts
         using an approved procedure in accordance with Technical Specification 6.8.1.a. The
         chest counter was not used to perform analytical measurements to assess internal
         intakes.
         This use of a draft procedure was identified as a deficiency by the Baltimore Gas and
         Electric (BG&E) Company prior to the inspection during a recent Quality Assurance
         audit. This fact was communicated by Mr. E. H. Roach of our staff, to Mr. J. J. Kottan
         of your staff, prior to the exit meeting. A commitment was made to our internal Quality
         Assurance organization prior to the NRC inspection to formalize the procedure for the
         operation of the chest counter. This draf t procedure will be approved and implemented
         by June 1,1986. Because this is a licensee-identified item, which will be corrected under
         existing BG&E programs, and because we believe this screening procedure is not required
         to comply with existing regulations, we request you reconsider issuing the subject
         violation.

l ITEM B l 

          We have reviewed the circumstances that led to the apparent violation of Technical

l Specifications 4.6.3.1, 4.6.6.1, 4.7.6.1, 4.7.7.1, and 4.9.12. This event was caused by an 

          apparent misinterpretation of the Surveillance Requirements and a miscommunication
          with the contractor involved. Accordingly, the corrective action stated below will be
          implemented to ensure that similar violations will not recur in the future.
          The appropriate procedures will be revised to ensure that two separate samples are
          analyzed in accordance with the Surveillance Requirements. In addition, our contracts
          with outside laboratories will be altered to ensure that two distinct laboratory analyses
          are performed. These changes will be made by September 1,1986.
          Furthermore, we are considering submitting a license amendment request that changes
          the applicable Technical Specifications such that only one analysis is required of the
          charcoal sample. The procedures will then be revised again if a new Surveillance
          Requirement is issued.
                                                       .
