Docket N l Philadelphia Electric Company ATTN: Mr. S. L. Daltroff Vice President Electric Production 2301 Market Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101 Gentlemen:
Subject: Combined Inspection 50-277/82-05 and 50-278/82-05 This refers to your letter dated June 23, 1982, in response to our letter dated May 28, 198 Thank you for informing us of the corrective and preventive actions documented in your lette These actions will be examined during a future inspection of your licensed progra You cooperation with us is appreciate


Sincerely,
10 CFR 71.5 prohibits delivery of licensed material to a carrier for transport unless the licensee complies with applicable regulations of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR Parts 170-189. 49 CFR 173.393(i) limits the radiation dose rate from a package to 200 millirem per hour on contact and limits the transport index (i.e. the dose rate in millirem per hour at three feet from a package) to 1 Packages from which a dose rate exceeds these values may be s, hipped in a transport vehicle assigned for sole use under the provisions of 4.9 CFR 173.392(c). 49 CFR 173.392(c) requires that the external radiation levels of packaged shipments of LSA radioactive material transported in sole use vehicles must co= ply with 49 CFR 173.393(j)(4), which states that the dose rate in a normally occupied position in the vehicle cannot exceed 2 millirem per hou The dose rate of 2.6 millirem per hour found in the cab of the vehicle represents noncompliance with 10 CFR 71.5 (82-05-01).

      &/ JLA./
The Peach Bottom Nuclear Power plant Station Superintendent was informed of this apparent violation on Marco 16, 198 In a March 2,1982 letter to Region I, the licensee reported that two radiation protection personnel were dispatched to the burial site on February 19,14R2 to resurvey the vehicle. Using three different radiation survey instruments, the following radiation levels were measured in the sleeper compartments of the truck cab: 2.1 mr/hr, 2.5 mr/hr and 3.0 mr/h The licensee believes that these measurements support the radiation level measured by the State of South Carolin Further, the licensee's investigation indicated l that the technician who surveyed the vehicle cab at the Peach Bottom site prior to departure for South Carolina apparently missed the " hot spot" in the sleeper cab due to "a lack of attention to detail."
mas T. Ma , Director ivision of Engineering and Technical Programs cc:
 
W. T. Ullrich, Station Superintendent
Calculations by Region I revealed that the maximum exposure that an individual could have received by continuously occupying the sleeper compartment during the shipment was about 31 mrem (2.6 mrem /hr X 12 hours). This is about 6% of the allowable annual dose to an individual member of the general public.
