APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System Docket:
50-397 Washington Nuclear Project No.
2 License:
NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on Hay 16-20,
- 1994, 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:
A.
Technical Specifications Section 6.8. 1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2,. February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 7.e, recommends radiation protection procedures for.
(1) Access Control to Radiation Areas Including a Radiation Work Permit System, Procedure PPH 1. 11. 11, "Entry Into, Conduct In, and Exit From Radiologically Controlled Areas,"
Sections
- 4. 1.2 and 4. 1.3 authorizes personnel to transit directly from the primary access point, alternate access point, or the main control room to a
remote health physics control point (i.e., Drywell, 606-foot Rx, Turbine -Building 501-foot level) and return without the use of a radiation work permit.
Contrary to the above, on Hay 16, 1994, the inspectors identified two individuals who did not transit directly via an authorized designated route to the health physics control point located on the 501-foot level of the turbine building.
Procedure PPH l. 11. 11, Section
- 6. 1. 1, requires workers entering a
radiological controlled area to read the applicable radiation work permit and review the radiological conditions for the area or the job.
Procedure 1.11.22, "Use of the Total Exposure System for Access Control," Section
- 7. 1, states, in part, that it is the responsibility of the individual to ensure applicable radiation work permits. and ALARA tasks are read prior to entry to a
radiological controlled area.
Section
- 7. 1.6.5 requires, in part, that individuals entering a radiological controlled area ensure that the correct revision to the radiation work permit and ALARA task requirements have been read.
Contrary to the above, on Hay 19, 1994, workers were observed entering a radiological controlled area from the primary access control point without having read the applicable radiation work permit and ALARA task before gaining access to the area.
One worker, in particular, gained access,to the radiological controlled area by logging in on ALARA Task No.
DL56 Ol which listed the current radiation work permit number as 94000196 00.
94062i0025 940614 PDR ADOCK 0500039 9
It was subsequently determined that the. radiation work permit had been revised to No. 94000196 01, and the individual had not read the revised radiation work permit prior to entry.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV)(50-397/9417-01).
PursUant to the provisions of 10 CfR Part 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, DC 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice of Violation (Notice), 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: (1) the reason for the violation or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that will be taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
If an adequate reply. is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be'issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked.
or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given for extending the response time.
