APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company License Nos.:
DPR-31 DPR-41 Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on October 30 - November 3, 1978, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below.
These items have been categorized as described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
AD Technical Specification 6.13.1.a
- requires, in part, that "each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 millirem/hr, but less than 1000 millirem/hr, shall be barricaded and conspiciously posted as a high radiation area."
Contrary to the above, on October 30-31, and November 1,
1978 a high radiation area in the north filling room of the Radwaste Building was unposted and unbarricaded and the intensity of radiation in the area was 120 millirem/hr.
This is a repeat infraction.
A similar infraction was identified in
~
~
our letter to Florida Power and Light dated August 11, 1978.
B.
Technical S ecification 6.13.1.b re uires that "each hi h radiation p
g area in which the intensity is greater than 1000 millirem/hour shall be "barricaded and posted" and "shall be provided with a locked door to prevent unauthorized entry."
Contrary to the above, on October 31,
- 1978, a door to the Waste Holdup Tank room on the 4 foot elevation and a door to the Pipe Chase on the 10 foot elevation in the Reactor Auxilliary Building were open, the areas were unoccupied, and radiation levels in the Waste Holdup Tank Area were 1000 to 2000 millirem/hr and in the Pipe Chase were 2000 to 3000 millirem/hr.
This is a repeat infraction.
A similar infraction was identified in our letter to Florida Power and Light dated December 7,
1977.
C.
10 CFR 20.203(c)(3) requires, in part, that the'ontrols for each entrance or access point to a high radiation area "shall be established in such a way that no individual will be prevented from leaving a high radiation area."

D.
Technical Specification 6.11 states that, "procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure."
Health Physics Procedure HP-41, "Movement of Materials Inside the Radiation Control Area," requires that (1) externally contaminated material that is to be moved from one work site to another or placed in storage shall, whenever
- possible, be contained in double polyethylene bags and the bag openings shall be double sealed to prevent the release of contamination and (2) all radioactive material that is to be stored shall have a radioactive material "Caution" bag affixed.
Contrary to the above, on October 31,
- 1978, and November 1,
- 1978, untagged, opened
- bagged, singly bagged and unbagged contaminated material was stored under the tool room and on the ramp from the four foot to ten foot elevations in the Reactor Auxiliary Building.
Radiation levels for material under the tool room ranged up to 5 mr/hr and for material on the ramp up to 30 mr/hr.
This is a repeat infraction.
A similar infraction was identified in our letter to Florida Power and Light dated August 11, 1978.
E.
Section 6.8.1 of the Technical Specification requires in part that, "Written procedures and administrative policies shall be established implemented and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Section 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972 and Appendix "A" of USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.33..."
Operating Procedure 0202.1, Section 8.3, entitled "Reactor Startup Cold Condition to Hot Shutdown Conditions",
for FP&L Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, requires in part that the contain-ment be inspected for cleanliness and further "Verify that any items that could be washed down during a LOCA, including by containment
- spray, and potentially clog the containment
- sumps, have been removed from the containment or properly and securely stored."
Contrary to the above, on November 1,
1978, there were two unsecured yellow plastic open containers one half to three-quarters full of anticontamination clothing (including rubbers, plastic bags and tape) inside the Unit 3 containment at the personnel hatch with the reactor at 100'ower.
This is an infraction.
