These apparent violations included the failure to follow station procedures,
the failure to adequately evaluate the radiological hazards to the workers
conducting the inservice inspection, and the failure to provide appropriate
dosimetry to the workers*.
Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is presently
being issued for these inspection findings.
Please be advised that the
number and characterization of apparent violations described in the enclosed
inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review.
