i SUBJECT: 'NRC ROUTINE RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORTS NO. 50 .
456/96015(DRS); 50-457/96015(DRS)
} Dear Mr. Stanley:
,
l;- This refers to the inspection completed.on October 18,1996 at your Braidwood facility.
The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
- -This insp'ection included an announced review of the licensee's radiation monitoring
system, the control room and auxiliary building filtered Heating, Ventilation, and Air-
- l Conditioning (HVAC) systems, and an inspection of radioactive waste system tank rooms. l
Special emphasis was placed on operability, and material condition of these systems. . In i
-
addition, a routine review of activities for the Unit 1 mid-cycle outage was conducted.
ll This inspection noted that the material condition of the radioactive waste tank rooms was .
j good as evidenced by adequate housekeeping in the areas, minimal contaminated area, i
and the low number of outstanding work request items for the equipment in these rooms.
Likewise the HVAC systems inspected were free of debris and found in good working
! order.
The radiation monitors inspected were in good working order and appropriate corrective
t
actions were being implemented for the' four monitors which exhibit recurring operability
- problems. However, the inspection identified that the basis document for the alarm set
i point calculations for these monitors was informally controlled.
.
!
This inspection also noted that good radiological controls were being provided by the
,,
'
radiation protection (RP) organization for work activities ongoing during the Unit 1 mid-
cycle outage. However, a review of the work control process noted a communication
deficiency which contributes to issues not being evaluated or discussed until the final
stages of the planning process, especially for short lead time activities.
l
!' No violations of NRC requirements were identifie'd during this inspection.
