ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point Docket Nos. 50-250, 50-251 License Nos.
DPR-31, DPR-41 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 8-12, 1991, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
(1991), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification (TS)
- 6. 11. 1 requires procedures for personnel radiation protection to be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and be
- approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
10 CFR 20.203(f) requires, in part, each container of licensed material to bear a
- durable, clearly visible label identifying the radioactive contents.
The label is to bear the radiation caution symbol and the words "Caution, Radioactive Material",
and also provide sufficient information to permit individuals handling or using the containers, or working in the vicinity thereof, to take precautions to avoid or minimize exposures.
Health Physics Surveillance Procedure O-HPS-041, Control of Radioactive Material Inside the Radiation Controlled Area, dated May 2, 1991, requires that radioactive material be posted and otherwise identified as required by 0-HPS-25. 1.
Procedure 0-HPS-25. 1, General Posting Requirements for Radiological
- Hazards, dated December 31,
- 1990, requires that individual containers of radioactive material containing greater than 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix C quantities be labelled.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow He'alth Physics (HP) surveillance procedures in that, from approximately June 1 through July 9,
- 1991, the licensee did not label with adequate information to denote the hazards
- present, an onsite storage cask containing radioactive material i' excess of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix C limits which was maintained in the Radioactive Waste (RadWaste)
Building.
This is a repeat Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
B."
TS
- 6. 11. 1 requires procedures for personnel radiation protection to be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and to be
- approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
10 CFR 20. 103(c)(2) requires in part that nuclear power licensees maintain and implement a respiratory protection program that includes written procedures regarding selection, fitting, and maintenance of respirators.

Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point Docket Nos. 50-250, 50-251 License Nos.
DPR-31, DPR-41 10 CFR 20, Appendix A, Footnote (d), requires adequate respirable air of the quality and quantity required in accordance with NIOSH/MSHA certification described in 30 CFR Part ll to be provided to atmospheric supplying respirators.
Health Physics Administrative Procedure O-HPA-060, Respiratory Protection
- Plan, dated August 5,
- 1990, Item 5. 1.-3. 10 requires that on a quarterly
- basis, station breathing air compressors, portable breathing air compressor s, and compressors used to.fill SCBA air bottles be sampled in accordance with Surveillance Maintenance Mechanical (SMM) Procedure, 0-SMM-101. 1, Grade D
Breathing Air Periodic Testing.
Procedure 0-SMM-101. 1, dated June 15,
- 1990, describes the methodology used for testing and certifying breathing air Grade D.
4 Health Physics Procedure O-HPS-063.4, Selection and Issue of Respiratory Protection Equipment, dated July 20, 1990, requires, in part, that the Health Physics Shift Supervisor ensure that the proper respiratory protection equipment is prescribed; the Radiation Protection Man (RPM) who issues respiratory protection equipment verify the individuals'espiratory protection qualifications; and respiratory protection equipment be worn only by persons who have been trained in the use of, and hold a successful fit test in that particular device.
Contrary to the
- above, during the week of July 8,
- 1991, the licensee failed to follow HP respiratory protection procedures for the following examples:
1.
The licensee failed to test and certify the quality of breathing air as Grade D for portable compressor No.
30688 which supplied the station breathing air system during the week of the inspection.
2.
On July 9, 1991, an employee performing initial surveys of the Unit 3 transfer canal in accordance with Radiation Mork Permit (RWP)
No. 91-2717, was issued and used a respiratory protection device (full face mask) for which he did not have a current, successful fit test for that device.
C.
These examples are considered together as a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IY).
10 CFR 71.5(a) requires that each licensee who delivers licensed material to a carrier for transport comply with the applicable regulations of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR Parts 170-189.
49 CFR 172.604 requires that a person who offers a hazardous material for transport must provide a 24-hour emergency response telephone number for use in the event of an emergency involving the material and that the telephone number must be monitored at all times.
Florida Power and Light Company Turkey Point Docket Nos. 50-250, 50-251 License Nos.
DPR-31, DPR-41 Contrary to the above, on the evening of July ll, 1991, and again on the morning of July 12,
- 1991, the 24-hour emergency telephone number was tested and found to be unmonitored (inoperable) periodically.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement V).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Flordia Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control
- Desk, Washington, D.C.
20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and if applicable, a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).
,This reply should be clearly marked as a
"Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include [for each violationj:
(1) the reason fot the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results
- achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
