NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Docket Nos.: 50-275; 50-323 License Nos.: DPR-80; DPR-82 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 4-8, 1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.11 states, "Procedure for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be
- approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation safety."
10 CFR 20.1703(a)(3)(iv) states, "Ifthe licensee uses respiratory protection equipment to limit intakes pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1702, the licensee shall implement and maintain a respiratory protection program that includes written procedures regarding selection, fitting, issuance, maintenance, and testing of respirators.
Procedure RP1.ID3, Section 4.2.1.d, states, "Prior to permitting the wearing of a respirator which is operated under negative pressure, an individual shall pass a
quantitative respiratory fittest wearing the type of respirator to be used."
Contrary to the above, two individuals were permitted to wear negative pressure respirators that were not the same types/sizes as the individuals wore during quantitative fit testing.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV)(60-276l-323-9713-01).
