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,
'origfrel Signed Dpt

Gentlemen:
This refers to inspection Report 50-317/86-05 and 50-318/86-05, which transmitted two
items of apparent noncompliance with NRC requirements. Enclosure (1) to this letter is
a written statement in reply to those items noted in your letter of April 17, 1986.
.
Should you have further questions regarding this reply, we will be pleased to discuss them
! with you. l '

ENCLOSURE (1)
l
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.
