The NRC inspector reviewed the licensee's C/RP organization and management controls to determine compliance with TS, Section 5.2 requirements and for agreement with commitments in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR)
          , . -
Sections 12.1, 12.3, and 1 The NRC inspector verified that the organizational chart contained in the TS agreed with Figure 12.1-1, dated July 1986, of the USAR. The NRC inspector noted that these charts varied somewhat from current personnel assignments. The licensee had supplemented the permanent staff with temporary contractor personnel consisting of four senior health physics (HP)techniciansorspecialistandtenjuniorHPtechnicians.Nineofthe junior HP positions, which were utilized for both operational radiation protection and decontamination effort, were scheduled to be terminated after January 1, 198 The NRC inspector noted that the licensee had reduced the quantity of contaminated areas within the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) and approximately 80 percent of the auxillary building can be accessed without protective clothing. However, the licensee plans to reduce the decontamination crew which could reverse this improvement. This concern was discussed with the licensee which stated they would establish permanent staff personnel in the capacity of decontamination worker These persons would be available from the maintenance department and trained in decontamination dutie The NRC inspector discussed with licensee representatives that after January 1,inal.1987, to be marg The the number licensee of oaerational ac(nowedged sup)inspector's the iRC ort HP technicians appeared concern and stated they would review work assignment The NRC inspector reviewed the C/RP group shift logs and observed C/RP personnel and supervisors making tours of the work areas. The NRC inspector reviewed the FCS Radiation Protection Manual, Radiation Protection Procedures, and Operating Procedures for Health Physics Personnel. Procedures and documents reviewed are listed in Attachment The NRC inspector discussed with licensee representatives the Radiation Protection Manual, Section 3, Revision 17, October 17, 198 Section 3.2.2 addresses equipment and/or tools which maybe conditionally released or authorized for long term storage in the uncontrolled area The licensee's procedures do not account for these items in long term storage and could not assure the equipment / tools would be properly controlled. The licensee stated that procedures would be revised to assure that equipment / tools were properly controlle . .

Including a Radiation Work Permit System." The licensee had established ProcedureRPP-20,"RadiationWorkPermits(RWP)," Revision 7, November 24, 1986, for completing, interpreting, and using a RWP. Section IV.H.1, states for protective clothing, "These are specified in the appropriate box by portion of body to be protected. All of the items listed are minimum requirements. However . . . items listed may be substituted with different items at the discretion of the Plant Health Physicist or his designated alternate so long as the substituted items provide equal or greater protection."

The licensee stated these work packages were in preparation and would be received by the ALARA coordinator in sufficient time to perform the necessary ALARA revie No violations or deviations were identifie . Confirmatory Radiation Survey The licensee had requested termination of license number SMC-1420 which authorized possession of natural Uranium Hexafluoride (UF ) at the FCS sit The licensee had shipped, during the period April 5-15,1986,52 cylinders containing all the UFg which had been stored in a fenced and locked area northwest of the reMctor facility. The licensee had performed a radiation survey of the storage area and taken 16 surface soil samples for laboratory analysi The NRC inspector conducted a confirmatory radiation survey of the UF storageareawithaTechnicalAssociatesmodelTBM-3Scontaminationm5ter with a lower limit of detectability of 0.01 mr/hr. The NRC inspector identified two small plastic discs, approximately 1 inch in diameter, which measured 0.3 mr/hr at contact within the storage area. The NRC inspector informed the licensee of his survey results. The licensee attempted to locate the radioactive material with a "teletector" type survey meter which was the type of instrument used for the initial survey performed by the licensee, and could not locate the material. The i

' l 7/v Attachment i i . l

,

During.an NRC inspection conducted on December 15-19, 1986, a violation of NRC  ;

< . requirements was identified. The violation involved failure to follow proce-  !

dures. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions", 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below: .

$ Violation Failure to follow orocedures

,

Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented.

Procedure RPP-20, " Radiation Work Permit (RWP)", states the RWP specifies the i minimum protective clothing that must be worn in the radiologically controlled i areas of the plant and that any substitution must provide equal or greater l

protection.

Contrary to the above,'the NRC inspector determined on December 17, 1986, that i

personnel were not wr.aring the protective clothing specified on RWP 86-430-1  ;

.

for entry into the radiologically controlled area. This_is a Severity Level V

,

violation. (Supplement IV) (285/8632-01)

-

i T OPPD's Response l

,

! 1. Reason for Violation. if Admitted Personnel were not wearing protective clothing because they were doing

routine inspections in the clean controlled areas under RWP-430-1.

] ~ Beginning December 1, 1986,-the Fort Calhoun Station changed the RWP format from a pre-printed form to a computer generated form. During the

'

' transition, a statement previously included on the pre-printed RWP, which

-

directed that protective clothing was not required in clean controlled ,_ .. l

,

-( areas, was omitted from the new form. This change led to personnel who i

were accustomed to the pre-printed RWP continuing in the practice of not i wearing protective clothing in clean controlled areas. This was consis-  !

tent with Radiation Protection Manual- allowances- for clean controlled i areas, but was inconsistent with the RWP. This discrepancy posed no '

i radiological concerns.

'

, 2. Corrective Steos Which Have Been Taken and the Results' Achieved l

'When this item was brought to OPPD's attentien, action was taken to I
correct affected RWP's by upgrading those RWP's to include the statement, l j

'

" Protective clothing should not be worn in clean controlled areas." The

'

computer program which generates the RWP form was changed to include the direction for non-use of protective clothing in clean controlled areas-which formerly_ appeared on the pre-printed RWP. .

3. Corrective Steos Which Nill Be Taken to Avoid Further Violations 1 The corrective steps taken have been effective, and no further action is.

planned.

4. Date When Full Comoliance Will Be Achieved

OPPD .is presently in full compliance.
