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 NRC inspection conducted on April 27 through May 7, 1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violations are listed below:

A. Technical Specification 6.10 specifies that records of sealed source leak tests and test results, in units of microcuries, shall be maintained for leak tests performed pursuant to Specification 4.12. Technical Specification 4.12 requires the leak test of sealed sources containing greater than 100 microcuries of beta and/or gamma emitting material at intervals not to exceed six months.

Contrary to the above, on May 4, 1987, records of the results of leak tests performed on November 17, 1986, on sealed source serial numbers 92-0152 white, 92-0152 gold and 92-0152 green, were not maintained as required.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).

B.

10 CFR Part 20.203(f) requires that each container of licensed material bear a durable, clearly visible label identifying the radioactive contents and that the label bear the radiation caution symbol and the words "Caution, Radioactive Material" or "Danger, Radioactive Material."

The label shall also provide sufficient information to permit individuals handling or using the container, or working in the vicinity thereof, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposure.

Contrary to the above on April 27, 1987, effluent monitor R-1254 did not bear the required labels for the two 100 microcurie Cs-137 sealed sources it contained.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).
