Subject:
Report No. 50-261/82-40
This refers to a special inspection conducted by Mr. R. H. Albright of this
office on November 10, 1982, of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-26
for the H. B. Robinson facility.
The purpose of the inspection was to obtain
the facts relating to a shipment of radioactive waste for which the State of
South Carolina proposed a civil penalty against the licensee.
The inspection
findings were discussed with Mr. R. B. Starkey, Plant General Manager,
at the
conclusion of the inspection. NRC's concerns regarding the licensee program for
control of radioactive material shipments were discussed by the NRC Region II
staff and Carolina Power and Light Company officials at an Enforcement Conference
in the Region II office on November 24, 1982.
Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the
enclosed inspection report. Within these areas,
the inspection consisted of
selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspector.
During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license
appear to violate NRC requirements.
These items and references to pertinent
requirements are presented in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith as
Appendix A. Elements to be included in your response are delineated in
Appendix A.
This violation for which you have been cited has already been the subject of
enforcement action by the State of South Carolina.
On November 9, 1982, the
State of South Carolina proposed a $1,500 civil penalty for violation of its
regulations.
In view of the circumstances surrounding this matter, we have
exercised our discretion under the
NRC
CFR Part 2,
Appendix C, March 9, 1982)
and have chosen to issue at this time the enclosed
Notice of Violation. After reviewing your response to this Notice of Violation
and your proposed corrective actions, the NRC will determine whether further NRC
enforcement action is necessary in order to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory
requirements.
In accordance with 10.CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosures will
be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room unless you notify this office, by
telephone, within ten days of the date of this letter and submit written appli
cation to withhold information contained therein within thirty days of the date
of this letter. Such application must be consistent with the requirements of
2.790(b)(1).
