APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem Nuclear Generating Station Docket Nos. 50-272 50-311 License Nos.DPR-70 DPR-75 As a result of the inspection conducted from September 26 to September 30, and October 5 to October 6, 1988, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:
Technical Specification 6.11, Radiation Protection Program, requires in part, that procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
I.
Radiation Protection Procedure RP 1103, Radiological Control of Reactor Cavity and Spent Fuel Pool Operations, requires in part, that dose rates are to be monitored while equipment is being withdrawn fr~m the pool.
Contrary to the above*on September 26, 1988 equipment,- specifically a rolling tool, was withdrawn from.the Reactor Cavity Pool without the required dose rate survey being performed.
- 2.
_Administrative Procedure AP 24, Radiological Protection Program, requires in part, in section 5.4, that each individual shall comply with the
- requirements established in Radiation Work Permits (RWPs).
- a. - RWP 789, Trash and PC Removal and Decon in High Radiation Areas (HRAs) and High Contamination Areas {HCAs), dated* September 22, 1988 specifies, in part, that entry is not permitted into the Seal Table Room.
Contrary to the above on September 26, 1988, at approximately 11:30 p.m. a work crew, working under RWP 789, entered and performed work*in the Seal Table Room.
- b.
RWP 645, Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Demolition and Modification (Respirator), dated September 27, 1988 requires in part, that at least one member of the work party is to wear a MPC-hour meter.
Contrary to the above on September 27, 1988 at about 10:00 a.m. a work party, working under RWP 645 performed work on a RTD (# 23 Loop) while no member of the work party was wearing a MPC-hour meter.

Radiation Protection Procedure RP 808, Discrete Radioactive Particle Exposure and Contamination Control, requires in part, th~t as a minimum loose surface contamination surveys are to be performed, twice per shift in designated hot particle buffer zones.
Contrary to the above on September 26 and 27, 1988 the loose surface contamination surveys were not ~erformed with the required frequencies in the designated hot particle buffer zone on the 130' elevation of containment. The surveys were performed once per shift.
- 4.
Radiation Protection Procedure RP 808, Discrete Radioactive Particle Exposure and Contamination Control, requires in part, that upon exiting a hot particle zone, personnel are to surveyed by a RP technicia~ using an R0-2.
Contrary to the above, on September 27, 1988 at about 5:00 p.m. two individuals, specifically two radiation protection technicians, left a hot particle zone without performing the required survey.
These examples in*the aggregate constitute a Severity Level IV violation.
