ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Shearon Harris Docket No.:
50-400 License No.
NPF-63 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 15-19, 1987 a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved a failure to perform adequate evaluations of individual exposures to noble gas.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 20.201(b) requires that each licensee make or cause to be made such surveys as may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in 10 CFR Part 20, and are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present.
A survey is defined in 10 CFR 20.201(a) as an evaluation of the radiation hazards incident to the production,
- use, release,
- disposal, or presence of radioactive materials or other sources of radiation under a specific set of conditions.
10 CFR 20. 101(a) specifies the quarterly occupational radiation dose limits to the lens of the eyes and the skin of the whole body.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to perform adequate evaluations of individual exposures to noble gas in that the algorithms used to convert theromluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings to skin and lenses of the eye dose for personnel who made containment entries on June 17,
- 1987, and before were inappropriate for the noble gases present in containment.
The licensee used no other dose assessment technique to assess doses due to noble gases.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including:
(1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the 707i50202 870708 DR ADOCYi, 05000400
