NRC Comment:
Response to Infractions Listed in IE Inspection Report Nos. 50-280/79-18 and 50-281/79-26 Page 1 of 3 As required by Amendment No. 46 to Unit 2's operating license issued January 24, 1979, the Health Physics Program and procedures which have been established for the Steam Generator Replacement Program shall be implemented.
The Health Physics Manual for the Steam Generator Replace-ment Project, Procedure HP-SGRP-10, Paragraph B.2.d, requires that test and checks of tents be performed by Health Physics and an acceptance or "stop" sticker affixed to the tent.
Contrary to the above, the tents located in the -18 foot elevation of Unit 2 being used for the removal of slag from the reactor coolant system pipe prior to decontamination of the pipe and being used for working miscellaneous piping had not been inspected nor an acceptance label affixed on April 11, 1979.
(
This is an infraction and applies to Unit 2.
I A.
Response
The item is correct as stated.
- 1.
Corrective steps taken and results achieved:
Tents were inspected, found satisfa~tory and an acceptance label was affixed on April 11, 1979.
- 2.
Corrective steps taken to avoid further violations:
A copy of Procedure HP-SGRP-10 was placed in the Health Physics required reading file.
- 3.
Date Yhen full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance has been achieved *

NRC Comment :
As required by 10 CFR 20.20l(b), each licensee shall make or cause to be made such surveys as may be necessary for him to comply with the regulations in this part.
Contrary to the above, radioactive liquid effluents from the plant's subsurface drain system were automatically pumped to the discharge canal between January 1, 1979 and April 11, 1979, without performing radioactivity analyses of the effluents at a frequency adequate to ensure that 10 CFR 20 limits are not exceeded.
This is an infraction and applies to Units 1 and 2.
B.
Response
The item is correct as stated.
- 1.
Corrective steps taken and results achieved:
Subsurface drain system sampling frequency was changed to daily on April 19, 1979.
- 2.
Corrective steps taken to avoid further violations:
I The Periodic Test procedure was revised to reflect a daily sampling requirement versus weekly.
- 3.
Date when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance has been achieved.
C.
NRC Comment:
As required by 10 CFR 20.203(b), each radiation area should be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the caution sy::ibol and the words "Caution - Radiation Area." 10 CFR 20.202 (b) (2) states the "Radiation Area means any area, accessible to
r'i" c *.

Contrary to the above, on April 12, 1979, a radiation area near a piece of reactor coolant system pipe located outside the Unit 2 equipment hatch was not posted as a radiation area.
Radiation levels in accessible areas near the pipe were 10 -
20 mR/hr.
This is an infraction and applies to Units 1 and 2.
C.
Response
The item is correct as stated.
- 1.
Corrective steps taken and results achieved:
The Reactor Cool~nt system pipe was posted as a radiation area.

- 2.
Corrective steps taken to avoid further violations:
Health Physics personnel were instructed to insure that all radiation areas are conspicuously posted.

Date when full compliance will be achieved:
Full compliance has been achieved *
