APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pennsylvania Power and Light Company Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Docket Nos.

50-387 50-388 License Nos.

NPF-14 NPF-22 As a result of the inspection conducted from October 16-20,

1989, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:

.1.0 Technical Specification

6. 11 requires, in part, that procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

Radiation Protection Procedure No. AD-00-705, Revision 13, states in Section

4. 10, that it is the responsibility of each radiation worker to understand and comply with all health physics access control requirements.

A health physics posting, posted at the Unit 2 drywell annulus entry point on October 17, 1989, specified that a health physics escort is required to enter the annulus.

Contrary to the above, at 10:00 a.m.,

on October 17,

1989, a radiation worker entered the Unit 2 drywell annulus without the required health physics escort.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.

(Supplement IV) 2.0 10 CFR 20.401(b) requires that each licensee maintain records showing the results of surveys required by 10 CFR 20.201(b).

10 CFR 20.201(b) requires that necessary and reasonable radiation surveys be made to ensure compliance with the regulations in 10 CFR 20.

10 CFR 20. 101 provides limits for occupational exposure of personnel.

Contrary to the above, no radiation survey records were maintained showing the radiation measurements of the floor of the flooded equipment storage pit on October 5, 1989.

Such records were required in that necessary and reasonable surveys were made and were needed to support work by divers in the flooded pit and to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 20.101.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Pennsylvania Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:

(1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
