APPENDIX A 7EQFIwcory NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson Unit 2 License No. DPR-26 As a result of the inspection conducted on November 10, 1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9, 1982),
the following violations were identified.
A.
10 CFR 30.41(a) forbids a licensee to transfer its licensed material except under certain specified conditions.
10 CFR 71.5(a) requires a licensee, who transports any licensed material outside the confines of his plant or other place of use or delivers any licensed material for transport, to comply with the applicable requirements of the Department of Transportation regulations presented in 49 CFR Parts 170 through 189 insofar as such regulations relate to the packaging of byproduct, source, or special nulcear material, marking and labeling of the packages, loading and storage of packages, placarding of the transportation vehicle, monitoring requirements and accident reporting.
49 CFR 173.392(c)(1) requires a consignor of low specific activity radio active material to package the material in strong, tight packages so that there will be no leakage of radioactive material under conditions normally incident to transportation.
Contrary to the above, on November 2, 1982, the licensee transferr ed low specific activity radioactive waste containing licensed material under conditions not specified in 10 CFR 30.41, and delivered this material for transport outside the confines of this plant under conditions that were not in compliance with an applicable requirement of the Department of Trans portation regulations. Specifically, the licensee consigned five 55-gallon drums, each containing several gallons of slightly radioactive liquid, for land burial by a person (Chem-Nuclear Systems, Inc.) whose license (South Carolina License No. 097) did not authorize him to accept liquid radioactive waste for burial.
- Moreover, two of the drums were leaking radioactive liquid upon arrival at the burial site.
This is a Severity Level III Violation (Supplement V).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged viola tion; (2) the reasons for the violation if admitted; (3) the corrective steps 8307140317 830105 PDR ADOCK 05000261 G
