NOTICE OF VIOLATION American Electric Power Service Corporation Docket No. 50-315 Docket No. 50-316 As a result of the inspection conducted during the period April 7 through May 29, 1986, and in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C - General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions (1985), the following violations were identified:
1.
Technical Specification
- 6. 8. 1 requires adherence to the procedures covering Process Control Program implementation.
Procedure 12 PMP 3150 PCP.001, Radioactive Waste Process Control Manual, requires that all plant generated radioactive wastes be transferred,
- packaged, and shipped such that radioactive waste shipment and burial regulations are satisfied.
Contrary to the above, on September 17, 1985, at the Barnwell waste burial facility, a state of South Carolina inspector found that the licensee was in violation of South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Regulation 61-83, Section 1.2, for Radioactive Waste Shipment No. 0985-292-A from D.
C.
Cook to Barnwell, in that a.
The disposal container was found to have one end of the lifting cable not properly attached, contrary to the requirements of Condition 64 of South Carolina Radioactive Material Licensee No.
097.
b.
The shipping cask was found to contain loose contaminated material, contrary to requirements of Condition 60 of South Carolina Radioactive Material License No. 097.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement V).
2.
10 CFR 71.5 prohibits transport of any licensed material outside the confines of a plant or other place of use or delivery of licensed material to a carrier for transport unless the licensee complies with applicable regulations of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR Parts 170-189.
49 CFR 173.425(b)(6) requires that exclusive use shipments of low specific activity (LSA) material must be braced so as to prevent shifting of lading.
Contrary to the above, on April 25, 1986, at the Barnwell waste burial facility, a State of South Carolina inspector found that, due to inadequate blocking and bracing, all three packages on the flatbed trailer had undergone a shift of lading during the transportation of LSA exclusive use shipment No. 0486-294-A from D.
