10 CFR 20.203(c) "High Radiation Areas" states, in part, "Each entrance or access point to a high radiation area shall be:... Equipped with a control device which shall energize a conspicuous visible or audible alarm signal in such a manner that the individual entering the high ra-diation area and the licensee or a supervisor of the activity are made aware of the entry; or... Maintained locked except during periods when access to the area is required, with positive control over each individual entry."

Contrary to the above:
a.
Door 226 was found unlocked with no positive access control on April 2, 1980.
Door 226 provides access to the Unit 2 2P36B room which was a posted high radiation area with accessible whole-body radiation of 1000 millirems per hour.
,
b.
Door 137 was found unlocked with no positive a; cess control on April 2, 1980.
Door 137 provides access to the Unit 1 P36B room which was a posted high radiation area with accessible whole-body radiation in excess of 300 millirems per hour.
c.
The Unit 1 Seal Return Cooler Room (elevation 369') was found i
to be without a door and without positive access control on l
April 2, 1980. The seal return cooler room was a posted high
'
radiation area with accessible whole-body radiation in excess of 350 millirems per hour, d.
Door 436 was found to be unlocked and open with no positive access control on April 9, 1980.
Door 436 provides ac:ess to the Unit 2 spent fuel demineralizer room which was a posted high radiation area with accessible whole-body radiation in excess of 6000 millirems per hour.

Until a permanent door to the Seal Return Cooler Room can be installed, the door in the stairwell at elevation 369' leading to the Unit 1 Seal Return Cooler Room will be posted and locked to control access to the area.
To avoid further items of non-compliance relating to high radiation area access control: Health Physics Department personnel will check all high radiation areas each normal working day during normal working hours (0800
- 1630) to insure the doors are locked and Operations Department personnel will check the areas once each shift.

All shift supervisors and waste control operators were counseled regarding procedure compliance in regard to use of portable survey instruments in high radiation areas.
'
Full compliance with procedures was achieved on April 17, 1980.
Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of March 22 through April 21, 1980, it appears that one of your activities was not conducted in toll compliance with NRC regulations and the con-i dition of your license NPF-6, as indicated below:

RESPONSE:
.
The missing seismic supports for 2CV-5672-1 and 2CV-5673-1 were immediately installed. A list of all control valves which are required to have seismic supports for their operators has been compiled.
Maintenance forces will verify installation of these' supports for all accessible control valves by June 1,1980 and will verify the installation for all inaccessible control valves at the next plant outage of sufficient duration.
