SUBJECT:

NRC RADIATION PROTECTION AND CHEMISTRY INSPECTION REPORT

50-461/97017(DRS) AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Cook:

On July 28,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Clinton Nuclear Power

Station. The purpose of the inspection was to review the gaseous and liquid radioactive

waste programs, including effluent releases and monitoring. Additionally, the

circumstances surrounding a June 18,1997, event, where a contaminated worker was

released from the station, and ongoing work on the 'A" and "B" racirculation pumps were

also reviewed. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.

Overall the gaseous and liquid radioactive waste programs, including effluent releases and

monitoring, were wellimplemented. We noted that the total activity and associated doses

from effluent releases continued to be low and that the radioactive waste systems and

monitors were well maintained. Additionally, good self-assessments by your staff

identified several problems with the planning for the recirculation pump motor work and

inith the control of radioactive sources. Tht success of these initiatives was indicative of

your efforts to improve overall performance.

/

We are concerned, however, with two violations identified during this inspection. One

)

violation was associated with an inadequate survey and subsequent release of a

contaminated worker from the station. Another violation concerned the failure to follow

procedural requirements for the calibrat.on of personnel contamination monitoring

equipment and for chemistry sampling. In particular, we noted that the worker

contamination event lacked comprehensive and thorough follow-up actions. In addition,

the monitor calibration issue was similar to a problem previously identified through your

self-assessment process.

The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding them are described in detailin the enclosed report. Please note that you are

required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the

enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part,

to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with

regulatory requirements.
