e 2 7 MAY 1982 Docket No. 50-293 Boston Edison Company M/C Nuclear ATTN: Mr. William D. Harrington Senior Vice President, Nuclear 800 Boylston Street Boston, Massachusetts 02199 Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection No. 50-293/81-26 This refers to your February 22, 1982 response to the Notice of Violation issued on January 22, 1982 in connection with Inspection No. 50-293/81-26. We have no further questions at this time regarding the corrective and preventive actions documented in your letter. These actions will be examined during a future inspection of your licensed program.
We have reviewed your comments concerning the severity level assigned to the violation.
Section III of the new NRC Enforcement Policy makes clear the status and purpose of the examples provided in the supplement to Appendix C.
It states that while examples are provided for determining the appropriate severity levels, the examples are neither exhaustive nor controlling.
The fact that Supplement IV, Sections A.5 and B.6, to the Interim Enforcement Policy referred only to 10 CFR 20.303 and 10 CFR 20.304 (and the corresponding Sections A.4 and A.5 of the new NRC Enforcement Policy refer only to 10 CFR 20.303) does not limit the scope of Section C.6.
This is also indicated by the wording of C.6 in the Interim Enforcement Policy, " Disposal of licensed
!
material not covered in Severity Levels I or II."
Moreover, the violation could have been categorized as a Severity Level III violation under Supplement V, Section C.3, because the inadequate packaging resulted in the improper identification of the form of the material.
We find no basis for reducing the severity level as you have suggested. We consider inadequate packaging to be a significant regulatory concern. Therefore, l
j the violation remains a Severity Level III violation.
!
Sincerely, k /h w
