ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson License No. DPR-23 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on January 4-8,
- 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988),
the violation is listed below:
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 10 CFR Part 20, and (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present.
Plant Technical Specification 6.5.11.1.1.a requires written procedures to be established, implemented and maintained to cover the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, recommends written procedures for contamination control.
Plant Procedure HPP-004, Radiological Controls of Tools and Equipment, Revision 12, dated November 5, 1987, Section 10.1.4.2, states as release criterion that items must not display any detectable activity, i.e. no smearable beta contamination and less than 100 corrected counts per minute (ccpm) total beta contamination for unconditional release.
Contrary to the above, on September 14, 1987, the licensee released from the Radiation Control Area and subsequently released offsite an internally contaminated Dry Storage Canister-Mockup with contamination levels up to 190,000 disintegrations per minute per 100 square centimeters (dpm/100 cm2 ), which is approximately equivalent to 19,000 ccpm/100 cm2.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
