ZRN 50-250/79-40 50-251/79-40 FINDING A As required by 10 CRF 20.201 (b), a licensee may~t an individual in a restricted area to receive a dose to the whole body greater than that permitted under paragraph (a) of this section provided:
(1) During any calender quarter the dose to the whole body frcm radioactive material ancl other sources of radiation in the licensee's possession shall not exceed three rems.
Contrary to the above, on December ll, 1979, a contract worker marking defective tubes in Steam Generator B of unit number three for subsequent tube plugging was exposed to a whole body dose of 3.55 rems.
RESPCNSE The corrective action taken was reported in FPL letter L-80-12 dated January ll, 1980 fran R. E. Uhrig (FPL) to J. P. O'Reilly (NRC).
In order to prevent recurrence, all entries into steam generator channel heads will be monitored by a minimum of two health physics technicians.
Gcmpliance was achieved on January ll, 1980.
FINDING B As required by Technical Specification 6.8.1, written procedures and administrative policies shall be established, implemented and maintained.
, Contrary to the above, at the time of the inspection, no procedure had been established addressing marking of defective'team generator 'tubes for subsequent plugging.
RESPONSE
As corrective action, a procedure (TP-SG-JLS-1) which addresses marking
'team generator tubes to be plugged has been written and approved.
In order to prevent recurrence, p~ure TP-SG-JIS-1 will be used for all future tube marking evolutions.
Canpliance was achieved on De~r 31, 1979.
r-
FINDING C As required by Technical Specification 6.8.1 written procedures and
'dministrative policies shall be established, implenented and maintained.
'perating Procedure 11550.2 Section 4.19 states in part that all plant personnel are responsible for abiding by any applicable Radiation Work Permit Instructions.
Radiation Work Permit 79-681 states that health physics coverage is required for steam generator entry and platform work.
Further instructions include requirements to determine particulate and iodine air activity routinely as job progresses.
Contrary to the above, ten separate steam generator channel head entries were made by a worker to mark defective tubes in the cold leg section of steam generator 3B without the knowledge of health physics.
In addition, although a continous air sample was taken on the platform no channel head air sample was perform d during the tube marking job.
RESPONSE
The corrective action taken was reported in FPL letter Ir 80-12 dated t
January ll, 1980.
In order to prevent recurrence, the requirement for two health physics technicians to monitor all channel head entries should preclude anission of ~red channel head air samples.
Canpliance was achieved on January 11, 1980.
