APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Arizona Public Service Company Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Dockets:
50-528 50-529 50-530 Licenses:
NPF-41 NPF-51 NPF-74 During an NRC inspection conducted on Hay 2-6,
- 1994, one 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:
Technical Specification 6. 12. 1 for Units 1, 2, and 3, requires, in part, that each high radiation 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 and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Exposure Permit.
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.
Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate level in the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.
~
A radiation protection qualified individual with a radiation dose rate monitoring device who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the facility Radiation Protection Supervisor or his designated alternate in the Radiation Exposure Permit.
Contrary to the above, on April 12, 1994, the licensee identified on two separate occasions that two teams, both of which had two different contract welders, failed to have alarming dosimeters, a portable survey
- meter, or radiation protection technician coverage when they entered the Unit 3, 77-foot West Piping Penetration Room which was posted as a high radiation area.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV) (VIO 528/9414-01; 529/9414-01; 530/9414-01).
No response to this violation is required.
