APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Southern California Edison Company Docket No. 50-206 San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station License No. DPR-13 Unit 1 During an inspection conducted on September 6 through 30, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 20.101, Radiation dose standards for individuals in restricted areas, paragraph (a), reads, in part:
"...except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no licensee shall possess, use, or transfer licensed material in such a manner as to cause any individual in a restricted area to receive in any period of one calendar quarter from radioactive material and other sources of radiation a total occupational dose in excess of the standards specified in the following table:
"REMS PER CALENDAR QUARTER "1. Whole body; head and trunk; active bloodforming organs; lens of eyes; or gonads.
................................. 11" Contrary to the above, during the third quarter of 1988 a maintenance worker acting as a fire watch at Unit 1 received a whole body dose in excess of the 11 rem quarterly limit. The dose of approximately 11 rem was received by the worker, primarily from an event on July 31, 1988.
The exception specified in 10 CFR 20.101 (b) was not applicable in that the exposure was not planned and a Form NRC-4 or equivalent had not been completed before the dose was received.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
