ck W. Schneider esident Public Service Electric and Gas Company 80 Park Place Newark, N.J. 07101 201/430-7373 Production Mr. Boyce H. Grier Director of USNRC October 9, 1979 Off ice of Inspection and Enforcement Region 1 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406
Dear Mr. Grier:
NRC INSPECTION 50-272/79-22 INSPECTION DATE JULY 1 -
AUGUST 4, 1979 SALEM NO. 1 UNIT We have reviewed the report of your inspection conducted on July 1 -
August 4, 1979, which was transmitted with your letter of September 18, 1979 and received on September 21, 1979.
Our response to the item of non-compliance in Appendix A of your Inspection Report is as follows:
The infraction in NRC Inspection 50-272/79-22, Appendix A, Item A states:
Title 10 CFR Part 20.203(b) states that each radiation area shall be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the radiation caution symbol and the words:
CAUTION RADI-ATION AREA.
Contrary to the above, the following failures to post areas were identified:
(1)
On July 10, 1979, the passageway in front of the Spent Fuel Demineralizer, in which radiation levels exceeded 5 mr/hour by survey, was not posted as a radiation area.
(2)
On July 10, 1979, Auxiliary Building Elevation 64' near the west stairwell, an area in which radiation levels by survey exceeded 5 mr/hour, was not adequately posted as a radiation area.
(3)
On August 1, 1979, Auxiliary Building elevation 1 84 near the charging/safety injection pump suction from the RWST, in which radiation levels by survey exceeded
Bo.yce H: Grier 10-9-79 5 mr/hour, was not adequately posted as a radiation area.
Reply to Item A:
- 1.
The cause was an inadequate review of radiation survey results by the H.P. supervisors.
At the time these items were identified, there were limited H.P. supervisors to cover all the H.P. functions of the outage.
The situation resulted in a lack of direct supervision in this area.
- 2.
To correct the situation, the identified areas were properly posted immediately after the NRC inspector notified the licensee of the discrepancy.
- 3.
To prevent future items of non-compliance, additional H.P.
supervisors are now on site to oversee and review all the H.P. functions.
Also, the responsibility to perform routine surveillance and ensure proper posting of radiation are~s has been assigned to a specific supervisor.
- 4.
We are in compliance now.
Sincerely, CC NRC Off ice of Inspection & Enforcement Division of Reactor Operations Inspection Washington, DC 20555
