SUBJECT: NRC ROUTINE RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT

50-440/97014(DRS)

Dear Mr. Myers:

On September 19,1997, the NRC completed an Inspection at your Perry Nuclear Power Plant.

The purpose of this inspection was to review your radiation protection program. The enclosed

report presents the results of this inspection.

Overall, the radiation protection department was successful in maintaining station dose as low

as reasonably achievable (Al. ARA), and strengths were noted in coordination between

departments for pre job radiological planning. However, several problems were identified

during the inspectors' review of the main steam line plug installation. These problems included

an unclear scope for the pre-job radiological survey, changes to the diver's orientation not

incorporated into the ALARA plan, and confusion regarding stop work requirements. While the

At. ARA plan incorporated problems identified at other facilities during similar evolutions, and the

ALARA briefing presented the necessary information to complete the activity, the ALARA plan

was not effectively implemented. These problems were due, in part, to poor communication of

the expectations and the requirements to the appropriate personnel,

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commissions regulations, a copy of th!n letter and the

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
