Appendix B NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos. 50-237; 50-249 Based on the inspection conducted on June 18 to July 2, 1980, it appears that certain of your activities were in noncompliance with NRC require-ments, as noted below.
The three items are infractions.
- 1.
Technical Specification 6.2.B requires that radiation control procedures be maintained, made available to all personnel, and adhered to.
The document "Dresden Nuclear Power Station Radiation Control Standards" is the procedure that establishes control over personal radiation exposures.
The following examples of failure to follow this procedure were identified during the appraisal.
Contrary to the above requirements:
- a.
Laundered protective clothing in the clean laundry storage bins in the Unit 1 track way was found reading to 22,000 counts per minute (cpm) in contrast to the "standards" limit of 3000 cpm.
- b.
Material reading 10 mR per hour at three feet was found in the scrap yard in contrast to the "standards" unconditional release limit of 100 cpm.
- 2.
10 CFR 20.203(c)(2) lists three alternative requirements for control of access to high radiation areas.
- Contrary to these requirements, on June 21, 1980, the barricade of the entry to a high radiation area at the Unit 2 west CRD accumulator bank was not secured, locked, equipped with an audible alarm system, or equipped with a control device to reduce the radiation level.
- 3.
10 CFR 20.105 prohibits possession, use, or transfer of licensed material in a manner that would create in an unrestricted area the potential for an individual to receive a dose greater than two milli-rems in one hour or greater than 100 millirems in seven consecutive days.
Contrary to the above, the licensee found in the scrapyard, an unre-stricted area, material that produced an exposure rate of approximately ten mR per hour at a distance of three feet.
