APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Power Station License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 EA-80-23 Based on the NRC inspection April 23-25, 1980, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below.
These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 3, 1979.

10 CFR 71.5 prohibits delivery of licensed material to a carrier for transport unless the licensee complies with applicable regulations of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR Parts 170-189.
49 CFR 173.393(j)(2) requires that radiation levels not exceed 200 millirem per hour at any point on the external surface of the vehicle used to transport packages of radioactive material.
Contrary to the above, packages of licensed radioactive waste material from the Surry facility were shipped to Barnwell, South Carolina, with resulting radiation levels on the external surface of the vehicle of 270 to 300 milli-rem per hour.
The licensee had delivered these packages to the carrier for transport on April 14, 1980.
This is a Severity Level II item of noncompliance (Civil Penalty-$4,000).

49 CFR 173.393(n)(9) requires a shipper to insure, by examination or appropriate test, that external radiation levels of the packages to be shipped are within allowable limits.
Contrary to the above, the radiation surveys performed prior to the delivery of a shipment of radioactive waste to a carrier for transport on April 14, 1980, were inadequate.
