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.
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
actions were being implemented for the' four monitors which exhibit recurring operability
t
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.
