FEB 1 9 1981 ior Operator Licen No. 2330-3 ocket No.
55-5503 Mr. David H. Taylor 16900 SW 297th Street homestead, FL 33030
Dear Mr. Taylor:
e$
Mpg g g )g8 I have been informed, from several
- sources, of your well-deserved reputation as a competent and dedicated professional nuclear reactor operator.
As you
- know, a nuclear reactor operator must be diligent and consistent in his exercise of good judgment in matters relating to nuclear safety.
Accordingly, I was surprised to learn that you were involved in a violation of a fundamental tenet of reactor operations.
I understand that on January 29, 1981, you left the boundaries of the Turkey Point control room surveillance area without proper relief, contrary to Commission requirements.
Al,though your absence was of short duration and you were not far away, this does not alter the fact that your actions demonstrate a lack of good judgment on your part.
In your capacity as an NRC Licensed Senior Reactor Operator at the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station, you are required to be aware of plant conditions and to ensure that operations are conducted in accordance with station procedures, Technical Specifications and the Commission's rules and regulations.
Accordingly, you are advised that similar demonstrations of poor judgment, in the future, may result in NRC enforcement actions.
This warning will be effective until your next license renewal.
At that time it will be removed from NRC files.
I have enclosed for your information a copy of the enforcement action the NRC is taking against the Florida Power and LIght Company relative to this event.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, I will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely, 0 i~~~~ie a~by VictorStell o.
