NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on April 9 - May 13, 1990 a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

Contrary to the above, on May 13, 1990, the access doorway to residual heat removal heat exchanger room "1A" on the 548 ft elevation of the reactor building, which contained radiation levels up to 180 mrem/hr, was not barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
