APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System Washington Nuclear Project Unit 2 Docket No. 50-397 License No.
NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted November 28-December 2,
and December 12-16,
- 1988, two 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 (1988),
as modified by 53 Fed.Reg.
40019 (October 13, 1988), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 3/4. 11.2. 1 requires, in part, that in order to determine that the dose rate limits of 3. 11.2. 1 are not exceeded, samples must be obtained in accordance with Table 4. 11-2, and the dose rates determined in accordance with the methodology and parameters of the Offsite Dose 'Calculation Manual (ODCM).
Table,4. 11-2 requires, in part, that iodine and particulate grab samples be obtained prior to each vent and/or purge of the Primary Containment atmosphere.
Table 4. 11-2 further
- requires, in part, that these samples be analyzed for principal gamma
- emitters, as specified therein.
Contrary to the above, from November 27, 1985, to December 16, 1988, with the exception of those samples which were obtained for startup,
- shutdown, or greater than 15/. thermal power changes, grab samples of iodine and particulates were not obtained and analyzed prior to each vent and/or purge of the Primary Containment.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
B.
Technical Specification
- 6. 12. 1 states, in part:
"...each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrems/h but less than 1000 mrems/h shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area...."
"... Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following:
A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area.
A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received...."
Ilc A health physics qualified individual (i.e., qualified in radiation protection procedures) with a radiation dose rate monitoring device...."
Contrary to the above, on December 1, 1988, two individuals entered an area on the 501'levation of the'Reactor Building, where the intensity of radiation measured up to 130 mrems/h, without either the equipment specified above or being accompanied by an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Washington Public Power, Supply System is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.
S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.
20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region V, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
