DEC I APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company License Nos.: DPR-38 DPR-47 DPR-55 Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on October 30 November 3, 1978, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
Technical Specification 6.4.1 states, in part, that the station shall be operated and maintained in accordance with approved procedures.
- 1.
Section 4.2.2 of plant procedures HP/0/B/1004/22 "Calibration Procedure for Portable Neutron Survey Instruments," HP/O/B/1004/24 "Calibration Procedure for Portable GM Survey Instruments,"
and HP/0/B/1004/25 "Calibration Procedures for Portable Ionization Chamber Instruments" dated May 25,
- 1978, required that the cali bration procedures in each manufacturer's instrument manual be followed. Section 4.2 of manufacturer's "Instruction Manual for Model 497 Portable Exposure Rate Survey Meter" required that an arrangement for remote viewing of the instrument be used, that the individual never place his hand in the radiation beam, and that the instrument be exposed to a known exposure rate between 100 R/hr and 1000 R/hr. Section 1 of manufacturer's "Servicing Information for Teletector Model 6112" required that a dose rate of 750 r/hr be used to set a potentiometer.
Section IV.C.
of manufacturer's instruction manual "Portable Neutron Rem Counter Model PNR-4" dated March 30,
- 1976, required a high voltage adjustment using a gamma source or a gamma and neutron sources.
Contrary to the
- above, the following procedural steps were not followed for calibrations performed during the third and fourth quarter, 1978:
(a) remote viewing 'devices were not used when calibrating the model 497 survey meter (b) the Health Physics Technician placed his hand in the beam for calibrating the model 497 7901290\\k
Duke Power Company Appendix A License Nos.: DPR-38 Notice of Violation DPR-47 DPR-55 (c) the model 497 survey meter was not exposed to an exposure rate between 100 R/hr and 1000 R/hr (d) the teletector was not exposed to an exposure rate of 750 R/hr (e) the high voltage adjustment for the PNR-4 was not made using gamma or neutron sources.
- 2.
Step 3.1 to plant procedure OP/0/A/1104/33 "Transfer of Liquid Waste Concentrate to Mobile Unit" required that a valve checklist (enclosure 6.1) be completed for each transfer.
Contrary to the above, a valve checklist was not completed for the transfer of evaporator concentrates to the mobile unit which occurred on October 29, 1978.,
This is an infraction.
B.
10 CFR 20.203(c) states, in part, that high radiation areas shall be "maintained locked except during periods when access to the area is required, with positive control over each individual entry."
Contrary to the above, the door to the south end of room 121, decay heat cooler room, was found open at 1:50 p.m.
on November 2, 1978.
The unlocked door was not required for access.
This is an infraction.
