SUBJECT:

NRC ROUTINE RADIATION PROTECTION AND CHEMISTRY INSPECTION

REPORT NO. 50-440/97003(DRS)

f

Dear Mr. Myers:

On April 10,1997, the NRC completed an inspection of your Perry Nuclear Power Plant.

The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

!

Your radiological effluent controls were effective in maintaining off site exposure low,

i

Several effective initiatives, such as the liquid discharge minimization plan, were

implemented to minimize radioactive effluent discharges. However, a number of problems

l

were identified in your radiation monitor program. In particular, your staff was initially

unaware of the proper actions to take when the off-gas ventilation monitor was

,

determined to be out of calibration. In addition, routine self-assessments failed to identify

l

some radiation monitor material condition problems.

'

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commissions regulations, a copy of this letter

and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

'

We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.

Sincerely,

/s/ Melvyn Leach (for)
