ENCLOSURE 1
Carolina Power and Light Company
Docket No. 50-261
H. B. Robinson 2
License No. DPR-23
The following violations were identified during an inspection conducted on
July 29 - August 2, 1985. The Severity Level was assigned in accordance with the
NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).
1.
10 CFR 20.201(b) requires each licensee to make or cause to be made such
surveys as (1)
may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the
regulations in this part, and (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to
evaluate
the
extent
of
radiation
hazards
that may be
present.
10 CFR 20.201(a) defines "survey" 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.
10 CFR 20.103(a)(3) requires the licensee to use suitable measurements of
concentrations of radioactive material in air for detecting and evaluating
airborne radioactivity in restricted areas.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to make or cause to be made such
surveys as may be necessary to detect or evaluate airborne radioactivity in
restricted areas in that, on July 16, 1985, six individuals were allowed to
enter the Seal Table Room inside the containment vessel without performing
air samples (surveys) to evaluate the airborne radioactivity hazard present.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
2.
Technical Specification 6.5.1.1.1 requires that written procedures be
established,
implemented
and maintained covering applicable procedures
recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, February 1978.
Appendix "A" Regulatory Guide 1.33 states that the licensee should have
radiation protection procedures governing a radiation work permit system,
and respiratory protection.
Contrary to the above, the requirements of the Technical Specifications were
not met in that on July 16, 1985, six individuals who entered the seal table
room:
a.
performed work under a radiation work permit which was not appropriate
for the specific task they were performing as required by Plant
Programs Procedure PLP-016, Radiation Work Permit (RWP) Program, and

b. failed to utilize respiratory protection devices and/or stay times to
maintain internal exposures as low as reasonably achievable as required
by Health Physics Procedure HPP-006, Radiation Work Permits.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within 30
days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply,
including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged violations; (2) the reasons
for the violations if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which have been taken
and the results achieved; (4) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid
further violations; and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Security or safeguards information should be submitted as an enclosure to
facilitate withholding it from public disclosure as required by 10 CFR 2.790(d)
or 10 CFR 73.21.
