Plant Technical Specification 6.11 requires in part that procedures for radiation protection be established and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
The licensee's radiation safety manual requires, in part, that workers who enter a radiation controlled area utilizing a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) must comply with all provisions of the RWP.

Contrary to the above, on May 19, 1992 contractor workers, performed wire brushing in the reactor cavity, at the direction of a contractor supervisor, without first informing Radiation Protection, and without wearing the double set of Protective Clothing required by the RWP for entry t'o this area.
