4 Gentlemen: . AEC PUBUC DOCUMENT ROOM gg' This is to inform you of the occurence of a possible unsofe incident in the operation of the Georgia Tech Research Reactor. On February 18, 1970, at the end of the schululed operating day the reactor was shut-down. Shlm blade No. 2 did not drop into the core; instead, it re-mained at its operating positien of 25 degrees. The remaining 3 shim bladec were inserted normally and the reactor shut down. The reactor was considered "not operable" and an irra.ediate investigation began to determine the cause of the stuck' blade. The investigation showed the cause of the sticking to be in the shim driva machanic: Icented on the outer facc of the reacLur 'ululy;1 cal shield. It was demonstrated that no interference exists between shim blode 2 and any fuel or other core components. Several attempts were made to dupliccte the sticking of blade 2 as well as checks of the other blades. We found that blade 2 could be stuck consistantly but onlyatapositionof25 degrees _+ydegree. We could not stick any other shim blade at any position. Following disassembly and testing of the drive mechanism for shim blade 2, we believe that the specific cause was a misalignment or " cocking" of the upper race of the thrust bearing. When the upper race is cocked on the drive shaft, a binding of the drive mechanism c icurs. At a blade position of 25 degrees, this binding is a maximum. If the bearing race was intentionally cocked by wedging a piece of metal behind it and the drive mechanism essen. bled, shim blade 2 would stick at 25 degrees. With the metal wedge removed, the shim blade would not stick.
- The cause of the cocking of the race was a loose fit of the race on the drive shaft. A repair was made by machir.ing the drive shaft and press-fitting a sleeve back onto the shaft. The upper race was then '
press-fitted over the sleeve. Examination of the upper race on the other shim drive mechanisms showed them all to be
- ress-fitted to the drive shaft. \\a l /

When the repaired upper race was re-assembled, the mechanism still retained a tightness not exhibited in the other three shin drive ! mechanisms. Further investigation revesled thst some bearing mis-alignment existed within the trunicn support box of the mechanism. (The trunion support bcx contains the thrust bearing, flexible coupling, radial neelle bearing,trunion bearings and trunion cup). We believe that this misalignment cculd, over a period of time, cause the drive shaft wear which ultimately resulted in the upper race beccming cocked on the drive shaft. By relocating the trunions slightly, the bearing misalignment was corrected. The entire mechanism then operated in an extremely smooth manner with no in-dication of binding. on February 27, 1970, the drive mechanism for shim blade 2 was re-installed in the reactor. Following verification of its performance, the reactor will be started up. The above matters were discussed with the USAEC office in Atlanta on February 19, 20 and al, i 1970. Additionally, the matter was discussed with the Nuclear Safeguards Committee at its regular meeting on February 25, 1970. We believe that the problem hss been resolved satisfacterily. We have modified our maintenance procedures such that the upper race of the thrust bearing is carefully examined during the regular scheduled maintenance work on the drive mechanisms. Should any information subsequently develop to significantly change the above conclusions, we will advise you. Sincerely yours,,

Proton and clcctron radiations of different energy and dose and x-rays were given in eingle total body doses to adolescent rhesus-monkeys that were observed over a 20 ycar period. Life expectancy loss over the 20 year interval was directly { i 1 related to proton radiation dose and was highest in the energy midrange of 32 I
- ' to 55 megaelectron volts (MeV). The low energy /high dose combination (55MeV, 360 to 800 rads) produced a 32 percent life expectancy loss. Cancer and endometriosis accounted for a greater proportion of total deaths for irradiated monkeys. Fatal infections occurred in 28 percent of experimental and 25 psrcent of control monkeys. A saddle shaped curve was generated for life expectancy loss per unit of radiation versus total body surface dose. Except for endometriosis, the greatest risk for all major causes of death was found 4 - with low energy /high dose radiation. Estimated dose to double the risk of fatcl cancer was related to energy and dose. Brain tumors (grade IV
' astrocytoma or glioblastoma multiforme) appeared to be associated with low cntrgy proton radiation. Human risk of brain tumor with solar flare exposure was predicted. Recommended radiation dose limits for males in nonemergency military operations were presented. For central nervous system and blood forming organ exposure, the career limit was 200 rem, lower than the current limit of 400 rem. Endometriosis risk for females was not clear, since there was no reported correlation for radiation exposure in women. However, a con:Orvative approach to limit setting-was recommended. A 200 rem career ex;ccure would translate to a life e::pectancy loss of 1000 to 2000 days, in the rangs of that for coal mining, being 30 percent overweight, and heart disease, but lower than that of a cigarette smoking male. The authors conclude that thsca data support more conservative radiation protection standards for nonsmergency operations, particularly for females.

-age N/03 Ecition: The Atlanta Jcurnal Constituticn Ward Count: 927 Autnor: MALO F. DENISE N MI Text: ..
By Denise N. Malecf ETAFF WRITER As cirector of Georgia Tech's Research Institute, Richarc Truly roams One same campus he knew as a stucent. His mission then war to earn an cercnautical engineering cegree. His missicn new is to nurture cne of tne ccentry's largest crivate resear:n centers.
"Many times new when I talt to students, tney come up an: say,
'Ycu've alreacy cene everything we want tc cc in life,' " said Truly, 57, a ciminutive- man witn an easy smile. "Tnat always takes me somewhat aback."
The restrained tones of nis 10th Street office give no hints. Visitors must squint at plaques or ask the source af photograpns before they discover a former NASA astronaut and retirec Navy vice admiral .
"I've lived my entire adult'lifelin two majoF~ cultures," he said..
"The university atmosphere is entirely different from'either cf those, so I've been challenged by what I've known as tne proper way to get things done."
GTRI qualifies as a challenge. The Tecn-cased organization concucts privately sponsorec, non-profit research for government and incustry anc currently reovires a full-time staff cf more than 1.300. Tne Decartment of Defense accounts for 75 oercent of its contracts. Truly inneritec a crisis when he became cirector on Dec. 1, 1992. Defense spencing cutbacks are into GTRI's $100 million-collar income, wnich meant forfeiting accut 100 Jobs. So cne of Truly's first projects was a painful cownsi:ing. He scent three montns visiting all 15 GTRI labs, then guicec a recucticn to eight lats. He believea the elimination of understaffed anc underfunced lacs has mace the remainino ones strcnger anc more efficient. The fall issue of GTRI's maga:ine hignlights projects in informatien technolcoy, aircraft, creation cf 1 nuclear-free :ene in Northesst Asia, anc development of a simulator ; r.s t train eye surgeons.
"I've never nac a job tnat dicn't deal witn tr.e future of where tnis ccuntry was gcing," Truly said. "I've always been involvec witn roccarcn anc tecnnology from top tr bottcm."
Truly spent much of last year icing a strategic planning troJect. He believes some of its pr <
.sals woul: endow GTRI with younger participants and more viewpoinc . He alsc nopes to generate mere collaccration between GTRI'research and campus research.
"There's so much more synergy between GTRI and other campus rocaarcn interests," said Tech Executive Vice Presicent Mike Thomas.

Ms. Pamela Blockey-O'Brien i D23 Golden Valley Douglasville, Georgia 30134 Re: Your Open Records Request Dated May 3,1995
Dear Ms. Blockey-O'Brien:
I have identified 42 contract files which may contain the information you have requested in regard to monetary amounts received for the Neely Nuclear Research Reactor. 5 You may contact my office and arrange a mutually convenient time to come and review these files. You may mark pages for copying if there are specific pages you wish to keep. There is a charge of .25 cents per page for any copies made. I am still working on gathering records (if they exist) with regard to nuclear waste contractors. I will make these files available as soon as possible. Regarding your request for information on funds spent on doing research on animals at the reactor, the Georgia Institute of Technology has not expended any money acquiring animals for research at the reactor. I Finally, I have been unable to locate any records relating to a " Georgia j EPD/DNR/ Radiation Surveillance Program". l 4(EAAbe Ik Very truly yours, M YO A GrTR C- f Qb ek. MOM.: M @ h Pamela P.

Both underwriting of bonds and asset management are financial services.that have had very few minority

The increases in black political power in city halls across the country have opened up various areas of municipal service contracting, including financial services. In Atlanta, Ward, Raymond J. McLendon and others have capitalized on their acquaintance with former Maynard H. Jackson to gain a share of financial services with the city government. Broader constituency While it could be argued that new faces in city halls have led to opening contracting services to a broader constituency, and now include many who were left out, some critics see new trende as a closing of the process, leading to cronyism.

Subject:
URGENT Request O l y ~l Bruce -- as you will recall from our discussions after Mirrored Image, the timeframe for analysis of the Georgia Tech situation would depend on when somebody star,ed yelling i 4 for it. Well, guess what? Apparently the Chief of Staff of the State Olympic Law Enforcement Command (SOLEC) is yelling for it. The following is from an exchange between Dave Moffet (Georgia Emergency Management Agency) and his management: f, >>> Daire Moffet 03/18/9613:09 >>> All highly enrich uranium (HEU) has been removed from the Tech reacter and moved to 5 the Savannah River Site for storage. Remaining within the building is approximately kg p 200,000 curies of cobalt 60 which is in the storage pool. The potential here is for terrorist activity directed at dispersing the cobalt within or beyond the reactor building. i Currently the DOD Nuclear Emergency Search Team (NEST) is conducting a study to h determine the consequences in the event this material should be dispersed. When this M ' study is complete, we will have a fairly good picture of area / areas tjat could be threatend in or beyond the reactor building. I will keep you informed when this information is available. The reply to the above message was as follows: Please determine when study will be complete. I need something this morning. Sounds like big threat is in terms of terrorists breaking into building, stealing material then using for criminal purposes. What are effects of using such an amount of material for terrorist activities? Please give Dave Moffet a telephone call as soon as possible. Dave's number is (404) 27 635-7231. You can also talk with his receptionist at X-7230. I will be out of pocket until 'W Friday, so' please work directly with Dave. Thanks for your help.

C On September 28 an EPA Enforcement Initiative Fact Sheet was released which stated: Today " EPA Headquarters (OSWER and
. OE), together with the Regions and the state of Illinois, announced a cluster filing of enforcement actions against violators of g hazardous waste combustion regulations. The actions seek over S22 million in civil penalties and, where violations are ongoing, ga to compel the facilities to return to compliance. A total of 30 federal administrative complaints, I state complaint, and 7 federal l g $.gf administrative consent agreements were filed. Most of the actions target boilers and industrial furnaces (BIFs) for failing to l 3 comply with EPA's Burning of Hazardous Waste in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces (BIF) rule, codified at 40 CFR Part 266, a
Subpart H. There are also 3 actions, including a 53.1 million state action lagainst Chemical Waste Management's hazardous O waste incinerator in Sauget, Illinois. See also *.] alleging violations by incinerators of permit requirements under the nation's i, [ hazardous waste management law, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)...There are 159 BIFs operating presently in the United States. Approximately 925 boilers were burning hazardous waste prior to the BIF rule. As a result of the lb BIF rule, approximately 175 of those boilers stopped burning hazardous waste. Roughly 600 of the remaining BIFS qualify for a !9 *small quantity burner exemption' in the BIF rule (these units, together, burn less than 1% of the total hazardous waste burned in l9 BIFs). EPA has identified 190 facilities with one or more regulated hazardous waste incinerators. Of these 190 l e facilities,27 are operating as commercial hazardous waste incinerators." EPA defines BOILER as "an enclosed device !s which burns hazardous waste / fuel mixtures to produce steam or hot water for on site use. In the process, the hazardous waste is 3 destroyed." EPA defines INDUSTRI AL FURN ACE as "an enclosed device which is integral component of a manufacturing lj process and uses thermal treatment to recover materials and/or energy, while destroying the hazardous waste. There are twelve ,.4 types ofindustrial furnaces. These include cement kilns, aggregate kilns, and halogen acid furnaces." ~- l C'

Dear Carol:
Please find for your files the attached information concerning high level cobalt-60 sealed sources at Georgia Tech. All of these sources are stored in the Nuclear Research Center at 900 Atlantic ' Drive storage pool and routinely used in our hot cell. [ I think it is a good idea as we discussed to have this infor- i mation in more than one place. ! If you have any questions about these sources please call me. Sincerely, l} fN Robert M.

Boyd, Radiological Safety Officer I A special meeting of the Radiation Protection Committee I was called to order by the Acting Chairman, Dr. J. N. Davidson, at 9:00 A.M. on March 4, 1987 at the Neely Nuclear Research Center (NNRC). Dr. Davidson stated that the sole reason for this meeting was to receive the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee, which was appoointed by Dr. Carter to review the NNRC Hot Cell Operations. The Ad Hoc Committee has met twice and has reviewed in detail the procedures used for ' safely operating the hot cell pool complex. The Committee was given a copy of a Memorandum dated March 4, 1987 to Dr. M. W. Carter, Chairman From Dr. J. I N. I Davidson, Chairman of Ad Hoc Committee, recommending changes in operational ' procedures and other recommendations. (See attached memo). After some discussion a motion was made by Mr. G. L. Petherick and seconded by Dr. J. N. Gordon to adopt i these recommendations as submitted. Mr. Boyd said that his of fice will print up new forms and make notes on how the new i procedures are working, then come back to the Committee at a later date with proposed refinements as needed. Dr. Davidson said that he will write a letter to Dr. R. A. Karam stating the Committee's actions. Mr. Boyd asked when the cell could operate again. Dr. Davidson said as soon as Dr. Karam has his letter in hand. Each member was given an opportunity by the Acting Chairman to make final remarks. Dr. Cross reminded the Radiological Safety Officer that he wants the Committee informed if and when the cell radiation monitor fails again. The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 A.M.

- A meeting of the Radiation Protection Committee was held at the Nuclear Research Center, to further review the problem of water leaking into the.
i tube nest of the 12,000 curie Cesium-1371rradiator; to review proposals by Dr. M. V. Davis for some specific uses of 100,000 curies of cobalt-60 in the. pool and hot cell; and to review for Dr. J. D. Crenshaw a proposal to. construct on campus a 450 curie cobalt-60 irradiation facility.
'Ihe meeting was called to order by Dr. Neumann at 1500 by summarizing the results of the recent' state inspection. Dr. Knight was asked to report ,
on the status of the 12,000 curie Cesium-137 irradiator after the-source l.
. ports had been evaluated further for water leakage. He reported that water-was found in 8 af 12 source ports. 'Mr. Boyd said that Cesium-137 was detected Mi on swabs taken in each of these ports, the h'ighest activity being 0.002
,.. \
~ microc.*ies per swab. He said that because the activity was small that it i was his. opinion that there was no leak from inside the encapsulated source,
! but rather original contamination on the surface of the sources had dissolved
-in~the water. However, he could not be sure that this was the case.
Dr. Knight r,equested an extension on the deadline for removing the source pins until April 15, 1975, because of a research project in progress. Mr. Boyd reported that we can't remove the pins until we can get the special cask
- j. from Oak Ridge and that his efforts toward getting this cask have been slow because' Oak Ridge has some other source stored in it now. As soon as he is
, informed by Oak Ridge personnel that the cask is available he will take the I necessary actions at once to have it transferred to Georgia Tech. After a j brief discussion it was agreed that the following change in the plan of l g , action be taken: ! i V 1

SUBJECT:
RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS CONCERNING In5PCCTION 9EPORT NO. 50-160/87-08 This is in reference to (1) the letter dated May 13, 1988, which responded to NRC concorns regarding progress toward renewed operation of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) Research Reactor, and (2) the letter dated June 13, 1988, asking specific questions concerning recent NRC actions. It appears from the May 13, 1988, letter that NNRC management may still be focusing their attention on specific issues and individuals involved with the August radioactivity contamination event rather than evaluating the program and management controls over the program that allowed the specific event to occur. The fact that the event had minor radiological consequences is fortuitous. The event, in and of itself, showed management and program
- Y b(N' weaknesses that are slowly being addressed by Georgia Tech. Further, the Order issued on January 20, 1988, requires an evaluation of the management controls that allowed this situation to exist.
The information received thus far indicates that many of the identified problems relate to issues that are " proximate" causes. We believe the
" ultimate" or " root" cause is a weakness in management controls and programs at your facility. The information we have received from Georgia Tech to date does not recognize that this root cause exists which causes us to question the long-team effectiveness of any corrective actions. Thus, we find this f submittal to be inadequate.
Surprisingly, the questions in the letter of June 13, 1988, andtheconten$,
,; 4' ' r of the interim report both. indicate that NNRC management's investigation inty and understanding of,'the ~ event were apparently somewhat superficial. The.y
@estions indicate a.. Jack of full discussion with facility staff and also i-an inadeqtla,t,h)generalyesponse Enclosure b to the questions.iQas Enclosure 2 is a response essmenfoff the con

- g~i#
degree of contamination of the reactor building in Inspection Report 50-160/87-08, since the August 19, 1987, survey result showed only minor contamination (100-200 cpm) in a small area of the reactor building floor, i (The August 1987, survey document did not show contamination on the catwalk, the second floor, or on the first floor except for a 10 square foot area.) This apparent lack of understanding, at this the time, of the circumstances l ! associated with this event is quite surprising. It should be clearly l understood that: (1) The referenced August 19, 1987, documented survey gave the initial , indication of contamination above normal; it was not a documentation of all of the surveys of the reactor building associated with the '
. radioactivity contamination event. Licensee personnel (operations and 1
health physics) stated that after noting the widespread contamination, . @inh # they began to survey and decontaminate areas without recording results. (2) Surveys for contamination were conducted throughout the NNRC. The contamination was indicated to be spread in discrete locations over approximately one-third of the building area. - (3) Licensee personnel stated that the catwalk approximately 60 feet from the top of the reactor shield was contaminated. (4) ' Licensee personnel and the Director, NNRC, stated that the Director, NNRC, was directly responsible in overseeing the decontamination effort over large areas of the facility. (5) Licensee personnel stated that during decontamination effor cs, the n ; 4' , personal clothing (pants) of an operator involved were contaminated to 9 levels exceeding release limits. s (6) One additional record showed smearable contamination of 20 mrem /hr.
. (7) When records are incomplete, interviews of personnel must be utilized to provide missing information.

$PR2m 1. Did the Manager of the Office of Radiation Safety (NORS) or other Office of Radiation Safety (0RS) personnel in fact inform the Radiation
~
i l Specialist Inspector of the existence of the August 1987, survey document , or its contents? l (. At no time'during the inspection did licensee personnel provide a copy of I l the survey to the_ inspector and inform him'that this survey documented the l , extent of contamination after the August event. .e , 1 + - The August 19, 1987, survey document was not reviewed by the inspector until after the January.'22,1988, exit interview. Licensee. personnel I informed the NRC that this survey document recorded the routine. surveys conducted up to 'and including the initial finding of contamination within
- the reactor building, but did not include the specific details regarding i- the subsequent surveys conducted during decontamination efforts. Licensee-WP personnel, both operations and health physics .(HP) staff members, stated
.that they conducted additional contamination surveys, including the top of the reactor shield, areas of. the reactor building floors and equipment located there, and other building areas such.as the corridors and access L point leading into containment of the Neely Nuclear Research Center (NNRC). -The inspector specifically asked for these survey results. The inspector was informed that when a contaminated area was found, the area i was ininediately decontaminated without recording . the survey results.
,, l' Initially. there may have been a misunderstanding'between the inspector l and MORS regarding the information requested, the information available, and the final records provided to the inspector 'for 'reviewi (At no time i during the inspection did the 'MORS appear to deliberately withhold )
- information as noted by the availability of other pertinent, data, for i example, air sampling records and memoranda detailing the c6ntamination 4 n - event, which were provided to the inspector.
L The-failure to document the detailed survey results was attributed to both operations and HP licensee staff. The extent of surveys should have been. l
~ known by the Director, NNRC, who was responsible for and observed the
- decontamination efforts in progress. Although the Director, NNRC, was responsible for the decontamination activities. - at no time- during the
' onsite NRC inspection did he present the August 19, 1987, survey results.
y ,: Neither did he provide any. additional information, either qualitative or
# 1 quantitative, regarding other surveys conducted and which indicated.the
- extent of (or absence of) contamination, levels measured. It should also be noted that the person responsible for decontamination activity in the reactor building (Director, NNRC) limited access to the area for an l extended period of time.

- 2. Did the inspector ask to see all pertinent records and if so were they i provided to him for his inspection? l The inspector requested of all licensee personnel (operations, HP, and the Director, NNRC) to provide any information which would assist in properly evaluating the cadmium contamination incident. Data reviewed and discussed with HP personnel included the radiological analyses of air 1
samples collected within the reactor building for August 1987, routine radiation survey levels in the reactor building, post-decontamination survey records, and memos relating to the building and personnel contamination surveys. The inspector was informed by HP and operations personnel that, although they did perform decontamination work, data indicating the measured radiation survey results were not recorded because personnel were involved in decontamination activities and failed to record the measured survey results as the work progressed. In addition, on January 14, 1988, both the radiation specialist and the ! NRC Region II Section Chief discussed explicitly with the Director, NNRC, I the importance of obtaining, either from himself or his staff, all data ' relating to the August incident. The Director stated that the NRC would. WNy be provided with all data. The rationale for detailing the NRC concerns to the Director, NNRC, and requesting his input in gathering all facts regarding the August event is outlined below. j The Director, NNRC, stated to NRC personnel that he previously had evaluated the August spill himself when it had occurred, had been responsible for decontamination activities, and had informed the campus radiation safety officer (RS0) of the incident. In addition, the inspector was informed by staff and the Director, NNRC, that the Director observed the decontamination activities. Given the above information, the inspector concluded that to complete the evaluation of the event, the Director had reviewed all pertinent survey documents. At no time during the inspection did the Director, NNRC, take exception to the inspector's comments regarding the spread of contamination nor did he volunteer the
,3 August 19, 1987, survey data, m
. Throughout the onsite inspection period (December 16, 1987 through January 22, 1988), the Director, NNRC, was aware of the NRC's concern regarding the extent of contamination and was requested to provide all data -
necessary to evaluate the August incident. At no time during the inspection, including the January 22, 1988, exit interview, did the Director, NNRC, provide the August 19, 1987, survey results. Thus, the NRC concluded that all pertinent records had been provided. ( , s e 9

l ! Enclosure 2 3 l 3. If the Radiation Specialist inspector did not see the August 19, 1987, , smear survey as claimed by the Deputy Regional Administrator and Section Chief responsible for GTRR, how could the description of the survey l results (as described in Inspection Report (IR) 50-160/87-08) appear in the report? It is clear that the information could not have come from N,', facts provided by NNRC at the related Enforcement Conference, since that conference was not referenced in the IR. j The August 19, 1987, survey results were presented to the local news media I ! following the January 22, 1988, exit interview. Following the exit i interview, the Region II Georgia Tech Research Reactor (GTRR) Section i ! Chief telephoned the Director, NNRC, and requested the document for ! review. The documents were transmitted to NRC Region II (as an attachment to a letter dated January 22,1988), by the Director, NNRC. Thus the l surveys were made available to and reviewed by the radiation specialist l prior to the February 23, 1988, Enforcement Conference, contrary to what l is stated in the June 13, 1988, letter from the Director, NNRC. Furthermore, the presentation of these surveys to the media following the January 22, 1988, exit interview and their subsequent submittal to the NRC wo . . Region II Office resulted in their review and inclusion as part of l IR 50-160/87-08, dated February 10, 1988. l 4. What documents contained the above referenced 100-200 cpm above background
- levels on the containment (main) floor. ,
l ! The forms provided by the licensee to the NRC following the January 22, 1988, exit interview. Specifically, Form RS-51, Daily Masslin Survey i Report, August 1987, indicated that for Area 7 on August 19, 1987, count rates approximately 100 to 200 counts per minute (cpm) above background were measured. These quantitative results were for routine surveys conducted by a student HP technican. I The existence of elevated contamination levels was discussed by licensee staff prior to the inspector's review of the survey results. During
- interviews of the operations and HP staff, selected survey results were described as ranging from measurable to approximately 22 millirem per hour L (mrem /hr). Both operations and HP staff stated that contaminated areas were located in the main reactor building which required more detailed surveys and decontamination activities which were not recorded. These i
contamination levels never were specifically quantified but were described i as " measurable," that is, detectable above background. 5.- Which documents contained the followup surveys? Page 6, Paragraph 3, of IR 50-160/87-08 specifically states " Discussion with cognizant licensee health physics staff indicated that ... the
. reactor shield." The inspector interviewed all personnel involved in the decontamination activities including operations, HP, and the Director. . NNRC, and all stated that because of the contamination event and subsequent decontamination activities, followup surveys of personnel and areas within the NNRC were conducted. Both operations and HP staff I

I discussed with and showed to the inspector during tours of the facility, those areas where they had performed surveys and subsequent l decontamination activities. Several of the areas requiring followup l surveys and decontamination efforts were corroborated between the j operations and HP staff, including an operations staff member who stated that he had to decontaminate an area of the catwalk across from the top of
$$ the reactor shield.
l
- 6. Were any results conveyed verbally (without contemporaneous official documentation backup) to the Radiation Specialist inspector?
See response to Question No. 5. By whom? l See response to Question No 5. l
! What results?
NNRC staff stated that surveys indicating contamination ranged from - [. W N measurable up to 20 mrem /hr. During discussion of the contamination levels, excluding the 20 mrem /hr reading, both operations and HP staff referred mainly to elevated or measurable contamination levels for areas within the reactor building where contamination was reported. Excluding several memoranda detailed in IR 50-160/87-08, :both operations and HP l staff were unable to provide written records of the contamination levels l they measured. For example, operations personnel conducted decontamination activities on top of the reactor shield in the area designated by the licensee to be the location of the August spill and also to have the highest contamination levels. However, no detailed records of the survey results used to properly conduct decontamination activities were maintained. Details corroborating licensee statements were provided in the August 19, 1987, survey record and subsequent memoranda from the HP staff to the 43 j T' Director, NNRC. For example, a survey indicating 20 mrem /hr was documented for a Masslin wipe survey conducted by a HP student technician
- which was recorded in a personal log book and also detailed in a memorandum (Boyd to Karam, August 20, 1987) reviewed by the radiation specialist inspector. Additional documented survey results were noted for contamination levels at the storage cask which remained elevated following decontamination efforts (memorandum, dated August 27, 1987, Sharpe to Karam).
- 7. Given the obvious conflict between the inspector's determination and the l
August 19, 1987, survey, how and based on what information did the l inspector determine that approximately one-fourth to one-third of the l , reactor containment building had measurable contamination? I 9 y - -
LFn"" ,r
,/
Enclosure 2 5 A There is no obvious conflict between the inspector's determination and the August 19, 1987, survey. This referenced survey, because it was incomplete, was not used to estimate the area of contamination. As stated in the previous responses, the August 19, 1987, record only indicated results of the routine surveys conducted up to the point in time when g
- ypggn definite contamination was observed. For example, survey data indicating the extent and levels of contamination on top of the reactor shield, an area that the Director, NNRC, HP, and operations . staff knew to be contaminated (memorandum from Boyd to Karam, dated August 20, 1987) and which required extensive decontamination effort following the August incident were not recorded on the August 19, 1987, survey. Furthermore ,
the August 19, 1987, survey results would not be used to estimate the extent of contamination because these routine surveys only monitored a small area of the reactor building containment floor, each area surveyed was not drawn to scale on the data sheets, and the surveys appeared to be conducted for locations near the shield wall of the reactor. Results of surveys for floor areas near the outer reactor building wall and equipment located on the main floor were not listed on the survey. Thus, the inspector was required to use interviews of operations and HP staff to determine the extent of contamination as described. . Q1. ".' As previously stated, the Director, NNRC, was responsible for decontamination efforts; however, he was unable to provide any qualitative or quantitative survey data. Furthermore, the Director never provided information regarding the inspector's concerns of the extent of contamination nor did he initially take exception to the NRC's comments during the inspection.
- 8. WF t amount of measurable contamination was found?
See response to Question No. 7. By whom?
, All personnel interviewed at the NNRC indicated that the contamination above background was measured in various locations of the reactor building.
- 9. Is the NRC aware of any supporting documents which indicate contrary to our best information, that the catwalk, the control room areas of the main floor or any other area of the main floor (other than area #7) required decontamination.
It is not at all clear as to what is meant by the phrase " contrary to our best information" given the full awareness of the NNRC staff and involvement of the Director in the decontamination efforts. The inspector was informed by licensee representatives that results of surveys associated with decontamination efforts in the aforementioned areas following the August incident were not recorded.

noted an apparent violation for a failure to maintain appropriate records for surveys. However, interviews with operations and HP staff members indicated that 3Q operations personnel physically decontaminated the reactor shield top, h reactor building floor, and an areas of the catwalk across from the reactor shield top. In fact, the Director, NNRC, knew of this operator's involvement as it was discussed during the February 23, 1988, Enforcement Conference. In addition, both HP and operation staff stated to the inspector that locations in the reactor building other than Area 7 on the August 19, 1987, survey record, were determined to be contaminated with cadmium and were subsequently cleaned.
- 10. Are there any documents which support the numbers provided in the memorandum from the MORS?
The NRC has not reviewed documents which could s' -t m- rerute the numbers stated. Furthermore, comparison of the antamination results (memorandum, Boyd to Karam, dated August 20, ao, should not be y compared to the 100 cpm background results (letter from 'aram to Grace.
- dated June 13,1988). For example, the 400 cpm was for a qualitative wipe of a large area, whereas the referenced 100 cpm may represent a wipe
.h collected over a 100 cm2 area. Additional data of the area surveyed, instruments used and their associated efficiencies, and the actual sample gU locations would be necessary to properly evaluate' the numbers presented.
3 b 11. Did RII or the Office of Investigations (01) investigate the possibility , i of personnel of the ORS deliberately misleading NRC inspectors as to the ([ d , impact of the August spill?
/[ It would be inappropriate for NRC to comment on possible ongoing investigative activity, especially to confirm or deny the specific focus of such investigations. This standing policy ensures that investigations are pursued under the best possible conditions.
- 12. Did RII make any attempt to independently verify (for example, through the use of official records, required by the NRC to be maintained by the
, licensee) just how accurate or inaccurate the information provided by personnel of the ORS was?
The NRC did request that all written information pertaining to the August 1987 event be provided to the NRC, in order to better support the interviews of the operations and health physics personnel. The NRC has substantial reason to believe, based on the actions of the entire NNRC staff after the August, 1987, event, that oral information provided by the ORS staff regarding the contamination in the reactor building was correct. In fact, the information provided orally was consistent with the limited available documentation. l
7-Enclosure 2 7
- 13. If such an investigation was performed, when was it done and what were its findings?
It would be inappropriate for NRC to comma.t on possible ongoing investigative activity, especially to confirm or deny the specific focus pg of such investigations. This position ensures that investigations are pursued under the best possible conditions.
- 14. The regulations in 10 CFR 2.201 and 2.202 appear to provide opportunity for the licensee to answer charges raised under any pretense and regardless of accuracy. What chain of reasoning caused RII and the NRC to issue an Order to Modify rather than an Order to Show Cause as is required by the regulations?
This question only addresses 10 CFR 2.201 and 10 CFR 2.20:' and ignores or overlooks 10 CFR 2.204, " Order for Modification of License," which is the regulatory basis for the Order that was issued on January 20, 1988. Regarding the complaint that Georgia Tech was not afforded an opportunity to " answer charges," the January 20, 1988, Order specified that the licensee "ma; aquest a hearing on this Order within twenty days of its. psig issuance." Aiao the limsee erroneously cited Section 2.201(c) as 2.202(c) and cited Section c.202(b) as 2.202(i)(C), Regarding the chain of reasoning, it was sparent to the NRC that the August contamination event occurred becr m of: lack of management controls over the conduct of irradiations. Also, the event initially went undetected, and subsequent documented surveys of the scope of the event were sparse. This indicated a lack of management controls over the assessment of the consequences of the event, further exacerbated by lack of management corrective actions to improve future operations. It is true that the NRC's judgement is that the particular contamination event in August did not represent a significant threat to public health and safety. However, the purpose of the order was not punitive -- it was imposed only to avoid possible future misoperations of more consequences to public health and safety and to send a clear message to Georgia Tech that future irradiations would not be permitted unless suitable enhancmnts in management controls were implemented.
- 15. Is it policy and practice of the NRC to assume guilt or were these utterances unauthorized and mistaken impressions?
The policy of the NRC has always been to expect a licensee to meet the appropriate requirements of its license and operate the facility in a safe manner. Inspections are conducted to verify whether the facility is being operated safely and in accordance with its license. During this inspection process, if problems are identified, they are brought to the attention of the licensee. Thus, the inspection process has as its basis a presumed " innocent" p...ilosophy; but, of necessity, information obtained is evaluated objectively to determine whether problems appear to exist.
- In the case of an enforcement conference, where the NRC does have information that shows that there is an apparent safety problem or
Enclosure 2 8 l violation, the NRC expresses the concerns to be discussed. Among the issues to be discussed are the items of noncompliance; and there is a presumption of guilt at this stage to the extent that, unless new information is provided that alters our initial judgement on the issues, there will be a .nclusion that the violations occurred. One of the purposes of an enforcement conference is to provide a licensee the W" opportunity to clarify any misunderstanding concerning the information associated with the apparent violation. Our conference summary dated I March 14,1988, clearly identified concerns with management control of j health physics and operation programs. l l It is difficult, based on the information.you provide, to assess whether the alleged statements were made in the above context. If not, we would appreciate further information on this subject.
