APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company License No. DPR-23 Based on the NRC inspection February 4-6, 1980, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
As required by 10 CFR 20.203(f), each container containing radioactive material in excess of 10 CFR 20 Appendix C quantities shall bear a durable, clearly visible label identifying the radioactive contents. The label must bear the radiation caution symbol, the words "Danger, Radioactive Material,"
or "Caution, Radioactive Material" and shall provide sufficient information to permit individuals handling or using the continers, or working in the vicinity thereof, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposures.
Contrary to the above, on February 4 and 5, 1980, packages and equipment in the contaminated warehouse and several 55-gallon drums outside the Boron Injection Tank room were not labeled with sufficient information to permit individuals to adequately assess the radiological hazards present. In particular, kinds of material, estimates of activity, and date for which activity is estimated were missing from most containers. Dose rates obtained from licensee records indicate that the containers contained radioactive material in excess of 10 CFR 20 Appendix C quantities.
This is a deficiency.
B.
As required by Technical Specification 6.11, procedures shall be prepared, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure. Health Physics Procedure 20, Item 3 in answer to Question 0, requires compliance with the Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc.
Radioactive Materials License prior to making a radioactive waste shipment to the Barnwell waste disposal site.
Condition 29 of CNSI License #097 (Admendment 26) states that waste containing both toxic chemicals and radioactive materials shall require an independent evaluation of both hazards.
Contrary to the above, on February 5, 1980 a metal container (4' x 4' x 6'),
which had been prepared for shipment to the Barnwell Waste Disposal Site, was found to contain sulfuric acid in addition to Low Specific Activity material. No evaluation of the chemical hazard had been performed.
This is an infraction.
