ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Washington Public Power Supply System Docket:
50-397 Washington Nuclear Project-2 License:
NPF-21 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 15 through November 25,
- 1995, one violation of NRC requirements was identified'n accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (60 FR 34381; June 30, 1995),
the violation is listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.8. l.a. states, in part, that written procedures shall be established and implemented covering the activities referenced in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 8.e.(1),
requires procedures covering access control to radiation areas and a radiation work permit system.
Radiation Work Permit 95000224 requires that breaches of contaminated systems outside of contaminated areas be performed using rubber gloves, health physics
- coverage, and provisions to collect leakage until surveyed and released from these controls by health physics.
Contrary to the above, on November 5,
- 1995, an equipment operator breached a contaminated system outside a contaminated area when working under Radiation Work Permit 95000224 replacing a leaking fitting on accumulator drain Valve CRD-V-107/HCU on hydraulic control Unit 26-47, but did not wear rubber gloves, did not contact health physics, and did not make provisions to collect the leakage.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (397/9531-01).
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 IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas
- 76011, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (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 have been 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.
Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to 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 to extending the response time.
95i2290335 95i226 PDR ADOCK 050003'P7 8
Because the response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
However, if it necessary to include such information, it should clearly indicate the specific information that should not be placed in the
- PDR, and provide the legal basis to support the request for withholding the information from the public.
Dated at Arlington, Texas this//<day of 1995
