ENCLOSURE (1)
REPLY TO APPENDIX A OF NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-317/86-05; 30 318/86-05 ITEM A At the time of the inspection, the computerized chest counter was in use to supplement approved procedures for identifying personnel having potential internal contamination.
The chest counter identifies those personnel whose counts are statistically greater than background levels and instructs the operator to perform, as necessary, whole body caunts using an approved procedure in accordance with Technical Specification 6.8.1.a.
The chest counter was not used to perform analytical measurements to assess internal intakes.
This use of a draf t procedure was identified as a deficiency by the Baltimore Gas and Electric (BG&E) Company prior to the inspection during a recent Quality Assurance audit. This fact was communicated by Mr. E. H. Roach of our staff, to Mr. J. J. Kottan of your staff, prior to the exit meeting. A commitment was made to our internal Quality Assurance organization prior to the NRC inspection to formalize the procedure for the operation of the chest counter. This draf t procedure will be approved and implemented by June 1,1986. Because this is a licensee-identified item, which will be corrected under existing BG&E programs, and because we believe this screening procedure is not required to comply with existing regulatioas, we request you reconsider issuing the subject violation.
ITEM B We have reviewed the circumstances that led to the apparent violation of Technical Specifications 4.6.3.1, 4.6.6.1, 4.7.6.1, 4.7.7.1, and 4.9.12. This event was caused by an apparent misinterpretation of the Surveillance Requirements and a miscommunication with the contractor involved. Accordingly, the corrective action stated below will be implemented to ensure that similar violations will not recur in the future.
The appropriate procedures will be revised to ensure that two separate samples are analyzed in accordance with the Surveillance Requirements. In addition, our contracts with outside laboratories will be altered to ensure that two distinct laboratory analyses are performed. These changes will be made by September 1,1986.
Furthermore, we are considering submitting a license amendment request that changes the applicable Technical Specifications such that only one analysis is required of the charcoal sample.
The procedures will then be revised again if a new Surveillance Requirement is issued.
