APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Southern California Edison Company Docket No. 50-206 Based upon the results of the NRC inspection conducted July 8-10, 1980 certain activities conducted under your license appear to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements as identified below.
A. 10 CFR 20.101, Radiation Dose Standards for Individuals in Restricted Areas, paragraph (b) states "A licensee may permit an individual in a restricted area to receive a total occupational dose to the whole body greater than that permitted under paragraph (a) of this section, provided:
(1) During any calendar quarter the total occupational dose to the whole body shall not exceed 3 rems..."
Contrary to the above, a contractor employed individual whose accumulated occupational exposure history was on file, received an exposure of 3.5 rems during the second calendar quarter of 1980.
This is an infraction.
B. 10 CFR 20.201(b) requires licensees to make surveys as may be necessary for him to comply with the regulations in 10 CFR 20. Surveys are defined in 20.201(a) as "an evaluation of the radiation hazards incident to the production, use, release, disposal, or presence of radioactive materials or other sources of radiation under a specific set of conditions. When appropriate, such evaluation includes a physical survey of the location of materials and equipment, and measurements of levels of radiation or concentrations of radioactive material present".
Contrary to the above, evaluations of the radiation dose received by an individual during the second calendar quarter of 1980 were not adequate to assure compliance with 10 CFR 20.101(b) in that a contractor employed individual received a dose of 3.5 rem.
This is an infraction.
C. Technical Specification Section 6.11 requires that written procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

-2 Radiation Protection Procedure VII 1.5 Access to Controlled and Exclusion Areas, Rev. 3 January 1979, Part III E-3 states: "A pocket dosimeter will be issued and read by the Exclusion Area monitor prior to each person's entry into the main controlled area. The dosimeter will be returned to and read by the monitor when the person leaves the Controlled Area."
Contrary to the above requirements, at numerous times during the period from April 15 to June 15, 1980, individuals who were leaving the controlled area and who were not the Exclusion Area Monitors, read and reported their own pocket dosimeters.
This is an infraction.
