50-311 License No. DPR-75 As a result of the inspection conducted from November 30 - January 20, 1989, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:

Technical Specification 6.11 requires, in part, that procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

1.

Administrative Procedure AP 24, Radiation Protection Program, requires in part in section 5.4, that Radiation Work Permits be adhered to.

Radiation Protection Procedure RP 202, Radiation Work Permits, requires in part in section 7.3.12, that applicable check lists from applicable radiation protection procedures be incorporated into the RWP.

The applicable Hot Particle Check list from Radiation Protection Procedure 808, incor~orated into RWP No. 88-2S-00979, Revision 1, requires Masslin surveys of the entire work area every four hours.

Contrary.to the above, on October 18, 1988 and for an undetermined period of time prior to this date, the Hot Particle Check list incorporated into RWP No.88-2S-00979, Revision 1, was not adhered to during work performed under this RWP in that contamination surveys of the 21/23 Steam Generator platforms, part of the work area, were performed only once per shift rather than every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and were performed with paper disc smears rather*than Masslin.

2.

Administrative Procedure AP 24, Radiation Protection Program, requires in part in section 6.1.3, that personnel shall be denied access to the Radiological Controlled Area (RCA) unless they are entering under the provisions of a valid radiation work permit (RWP).

Contrary to the above, on October 5 and 6, 1988, an individual was not denied access to the RCA even though it was known by Radiation Protection Supervision that he could not enter under the provisions of a valid RWP due to dose restrictions. The individual entered the RCA and performed work involving frisking of equipment for contamination.

The above examples constitute a Severity Level IV v~olation. (Supplement IV) 8902140081 PDR ADOCK Q
