-0097 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION VIO 05000440/215010

-01 Dear Mr. Hamilton

On January 15, 2016, you responded to the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) regarding a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated violation of

Technical Specification 5.3.1 when an unqualified individual was designated and performed the duties of Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) (ML16020A453). In order to complete its review, the staff requires additional information.

Request of Additional Information (RAI

-1): Your response indicated the reason the violation of NRC requirements occurred was due to not implementing a formal decision making and documentation process which prevented adequate justification and basis for RPM qualifications. However, the corrective steps that have been

taken do not appear to address the identified cause for the violation. Please provide a copy

of the revised decision making and documentation process that will ensure an adequate justification and basis for RPM qualifications.

RAI-2: Your response indicated that you revised the Updated Safety Analysis Report

to allow for the assignment of a Technical Specification qualified RPM in the event the Manager

- Radiation Protection does not satisfy the Regulatory Guide 1.8 requirements. Please provide a copy

of the affected Updated Safety Analysis Report page(s) and any supporting evaluation documentation

associated with this change.

RAI-3: Your re sponse indicated that on January 12, 2016

, you designated a supervisor as the Technical Specification qualified RPM. Please provide the education and work history/

experience for this individual along with any documentation that resulted from the decision making and documentation process that was used to conclude the supervisor

satisfied the requirements

for RPM.

D. Hamilton
