-2-a Contrary to the above, on October 27, 1985, two maintenance workers entered a radiological area in violation of the requiranents listed on the controlling RWP #3344. Specifi-cally, the workers performed work in the reactor cavity without wearing respiratory protection equipnent as required by the RWP. One individual of the working party consequently sustained a limited intake of radioactive material.
h is is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
!
Response A memo has been issued to all Health Ihysics personnel which provides formal guidance on making field changes to the radiological controls specified on radiation work permits. All changes to the radiological controls listed on a radiation work permit will require the approval of the Assistant Radiation Protection Supervisor /
designee and will be documented on the radiation work permit.
Health Ihysics procedure SHP 4912, " Radiation ibrk Permit (bmpletion arrl Flow Control" will be revised by April 1,1986 to incorporate the above requirements.
Very truly yours, NORIEEAST NUCLEAR ENERGY COMPANY b b
