APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System WNP-2 Oocket No. 50-397 License No.
NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 13 - May 22, 1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specifications, Section
- 6. 12, "High Radiation Areas,"
requires that each area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem/hr but less than 1000 mrem/hr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a High Radiation Area.
Contrary to the above, on May 13, 1987, and again on May 18, 1987, the personnel access doorway leading into the recirculation pump work tent, located on the 467'evel of the Radwaste Building, had whole body radiation levels up to 300. mrem/hr and was not conspicuously posted as a
high radiation area in that the posting was on dangling piece of yellow and magenta rope and could not be seen because the sign was open agai nst a wall surface.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
B.
"Caution Signs, Labels, Signals, and Controls,"
requires that each area in which a major portion of the body could receive in any one hour a dose in excess of 5 mrem, or in any five consecutive days a dose in excess of 100 mrem shall be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the radiation caution symbol and the words:
"Caution - Radiation Area."
Contrary to the above, on May 13, 1987, the north personnel access doorway leading into the east "valve gallery" area of the Radwaste Building, 467'evel, had whole body radiation levels up to 10 mrem/hr; was not conspicuously posted as a radiation area in that the posting was on a swing gate and could not be seen because the sign was open against a
wal l.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
C.
Technical Specifications, Section 6.8. 1, reads in part:
"Written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities referenced below:
(a) The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, 1978."
Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Appendix A, Item 7.e.(l) through (9) lists examples of radiation protection procedures required for controlling radioactivity.

- 3. 1. 15.4 states:
"All personnel contaminations shall be documented."
Contrary to the above, conditions of clothing contaminations occurring on June 8, 1986, August 1, 1986, May 9, 1987 and May 10,
- 1987, were not documented in the Health Physics Log Book.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV)~
