SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION
REPORT
NOS. 50-250/91-26
AND 50-251/91-26)
This refers
to the inspection
conducted
by
G.
B.
Kuzo of this office on
July 8-12,
1991.
The inspection
included
a review of activities authorized for
your Turkey Point facility.
At the conclusion of the inspection,
the findings
were discussed
with those
members
of your staff identifiedin the report,
and
in a subsequent
teleconference
on July 16,
1991,
between
Mr. J. Potter of this
office and Mr. L. Pearce of your staff.
Areas
examined .during the inspection
are identified in the report.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection
consisted
of selective
examinations
of procedures
and
representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and
observation
of
activities in progress.
Based
on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to
be in violation of
NRC requirements,
as
speci, fied in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation.
We are concerned
about the violations because
the failure to follow
procedures
for proper labeling, respirator qualification,
and certification of
breathing air may result in unnecessary
exposure
of personnel
to radiological
and other
hazardous
conditions.
In addition,
the inability to reliably reach
the 24-hour emergency
telephone
number listed on the radioactive
waste shipping
paper s could result in an unacceptable
delay in making available
knowledgeable
persons
who could provide emergency
information for personnel
responding to an
incident involving the material in transport.
Violation
A described
in the
enclosed
Notice is similar to
a violation
contained
in the
Notice sent
to you
by our letter
dated April 19,
1991.
Recurring
violations
are
of particular
concern
because
the
NRC
expects
licensees
to learn
from their past failures
and to take effective corrective
actions.
Although the
NRC does not normally consider monetary civil penalties
for Severity
Level
IV violations,
the
Enforcement Policy'tates
that
such
penalties
may
be
imposed for Severity Level
IV violations that are similar to
15~
9SOOO~SO
~DOCK

6
Florida Power and Light Company
previous violations for which the licensee
did not take effective corrective
action.
In this case,
we have
decided
not to hold an enforcement
conference
nor to propose
a civil penalty. because
of the low safety significance of the.
violation and the
adequacy of your immediate
and long-term corrective actions
as detailed during the July 16,
1991, teleconference.
You are required to respond
to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified
in the
enclosed
Notice
when
preparing
your response.
In your
response,
you should
document
the specific actions
taken
and
any additional
actions
you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing your response
to this
Notice, including your proposed
corrective actions
and the results of future
inspections,
the
NRC will determine
whether further
NRC enforcement
action is
necessary
to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter
and its enclosures
will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
The responses
directed
by this letter
and the enclosed
Notice are not subject
to the clearance
procedures
of the Office of Management
and Budget
as required
by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980,
Pub.
L. No. 96.511.
