SUBJECT:

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-333 INSPECTION NO. 85-06 Gentlemen:

In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2 Appendix C, we are submitting our response to Appendix A Notice of Violation trans-mitted by your letter dated May 10, 1985, as received by the undersigned on May 16, 1985. This refers to the inspection conducted by Ms. M. Miller of your office on March 18 through 22, 1985, at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.

RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION A. The Power Authority agrees with this finding:

The fundamental cause of this violation was an oversight of individuals dressing for entry into the drywell whereby they honestly forgot to transfer their dosimetry from per-sonal clothes to protective clothing.

The immediate corrective action was to alert radiation protection personnel assigned to drywell work control to be aware of such occurrences and be on the lookout for possi-ble recurrences.

The permanent corrective action is to issue written in-structions to personnel monitoring the drywell access point (s) regarding admitting personnel into the drywell.

At a minimum, these instructions will include verification of proper protective clothing, dosimetry, and authoriza-tion. These instructions will be prepared for issue and implementation by August 31, 1985.

n felt - that this . satisfied' the requirement 1 of. intermittent monitoring even.though most RWP's did_not:specify an exact 1 time for remonitoring or in fact may not:-have . required remonitoring.

The permanent corrective'" action; will' be.lto1 provide proce-

- dural guidance to radiation protectionD technicians which * .
