Subject:

Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-272/87-30; 50-311/87-31

A reactive safety inspection was conducted by Messrs. R. Loesch and A. Weadock

of this office on October 19-23, 1987, to review radiological protection

activities associated with three incidents.

The incidents included a spill

of contaminated water from a steam generator and subsequent decontamination

efforts, a potential exposure in excess of the regulatory limit (10 CFR

20.101) due to a fuel particle (hot particle), and the apparent defeating, on

two occasions during the same day, of a locked high radiation door.

All three

incidents were originally identified by your staff. The ~pisode involving the

locked high radiation area door is a continuing situation.

A similar

occurrence was identified in March, 1987 (Combined Inspection Report Nos.

272/87-07; 311/87-08).

Within the scope of this inspection, it appears that several of your

activities were not conducted in full compliance with regulatory requirements.

Three apparent violations are discussed in enclosure Appendix A.

You are

required to respond to these findings by following the instructions included

in Appendix A.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
