DEC Oi 1979 APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant License Nos.
DPR-33, DPR-52 6 DPR-68 Base) on the NRC inspection November 13-16, 1979, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below.
These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
As required by 10 CFR 20.203(f)(1) and (2) each container of licensed material containing quantities greater than. those listed in Appendix C of 10 CFR 20 shall bear a durable, clearly visible label identifying the radio-active contents and shall bear the radiation caution symbol and the words "CAUTION, RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" or "DANGER RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL" It shall 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.
10 CFR 20.203(f)(3) specifies exceptions to the labeling requirements of 10 CFR 20.203(f)(1) and (2).
Contrary to the above, on November 13, 1979, the licensee had not labeled, with the appropriate warnings and information, several containers of radio-active material located in the Unit 2 and 3 Turbine Buildings.
Assuming typical activation products and based on measured radiation levels, the inspector estimated the containers contained activities in excess of Appendix C quantities.
The exceptions specified by 10 CFR 20.203(f)(3) did
'ot apply.
This is a deficiency.
A similar item was brought to your attention in our letter dated March 30, 1979.
