Very truly yours,

>r W. F. C ay Senior V ce President - Nuclear WFC/GRM/cm Attachment cc: Malcolm L., Ernst, Acting Regional Administrator, Region II, USNRC Senior Resident Inspector, USNRC, St. Lucie Plant GRMRTNOV 88i0170449 88i0i3 PDR ADOCK 05000335 9 PDC an FPL Group company

(e Violation A 10 CFR 20.201(b) requires each licensee to make or cause to be made such surveys as (1) may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in this part and (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of the radiation hazards that may be present.

Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures f'r personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and shall be approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

Health Physics Procedure HP-20, Area Radiation and Contamination Surveys, Revision 7, dated June 18, 1987, requires in Section 8 '.2.1 that any area containing removable surface contamination in excess of 1000 disintegrations per minute per one hundred square centimeters (dpm/100 cm ) beta/gamma or 20 dpm/100 2

cm alpha shall be posted as a Contaminated Area.

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to comply with the survey requirements in, that, on August 2, 1988, the floor of the Unit 2 Cask Washdown Second Floor Roof was noted to have smearable contamination to 50,000 disintegrations per minute per one hundred square centimeters- but the area had not been surveyed since July 7, 1988, and was not posted or controlled as a contaminated area.

Res onse to Violation A Florida Power and Light concurs with the violation.

o The contract Health Physics (HP) personnel r'esponsible for the surveys did not know where the key to the area was located and did not perform the required surveys. The HP personnel involved did not take followup action to obtain the key and the surveys were missed. The key to the area was a non-standard key for HP areas and this was a contributing factor to the violation.

3. The area was immediately surveyed and posted as required by procedure.

The lock cores on the doors have been changed to allow routine access by HP personnel without having to obtain special keys. The HP contractor personnel involved are not employed by FPL at this time. However, responsible HP personnel have been counseled on the need to complete all required surveys.

5. Full compliance has been achieved.

GRMRTNOV

Violation B 10 CFR 20.203(f)(1) requires each container of licensed material to bear a durable, clearly visible label identifying the radioactive contents. 10 CFR 20.203(f)(2) requires that the label bear the radiation caution symbol and the words "CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" or "DANGER, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" and also provide sufficient information to permit individuals handling or using the container, or working in the vicinity thereof to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposure.

Contrary to the above, on August 2, 1988, two contaminated thermal shield transfer casks and a pair of contaminated wire rope slings located on the Unit 2 Cask Mashdown Second FLoor Roof were not labeled as required. The exceptions contained in 10 CFR 20.203(f)(3) were not applicable.

Res onse to Violation B

1. Florida Power and Light concurs with the violation.

2. The cause for the violation was due to oversight on the part of HP personnel performing surveys of the casks and slings.

3. The casks and slings 'ere immediately labeled as required by 10 CFR 20.203(f)(2).

4. The requirements to properly label containers of radioactive materials have been reemphasized to responsible HP personnel.

5. Full compliance has been achieved.
