e APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Co.
Surry Units 1 & 2 Docket Nos. 50-280 & 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32 & DPR-37 As a result of the inspection conducted on September 21-25, 1981, and in accord-ance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified.
A.
As required by Technical Specification 6.4.D, procedures prescribed by'**
Specification 6.4.B.1, Health Physics Procedures, must be followed.
- 1.
Health Physics Manual Section 1.3.
11 Radiation Control Procedures and Policies 11, Section 1.3.5.B states that a Standing RWP or Special RWP will list the protective measures to be taken and must be followed.
2_.
Health Physics Manual Section 3.2.2, 11 Radioactive Gaseous Waste Samp-ling and Release 11, section 4.1.4.5 b) states that a tritium sample from the vent-vent is to be obtained by attaching the flow meter and impinger to one of the bypass tees downstream of the sampling pump.
- 3.
Health Physics Manual Section 1.3.1.G.2 requires individuals to survey themselves when leaving a potentially contaminated area. Also, section 1.3.1.G requires individuals who detect contamination to immediately notify Health Physics.
Contrary to the above:
- 1.
On September 21, 1981, RWP 1318 required a full-face respirator be used when putting too 1 s in, or taking them out, of the freon hydro 1 aze decontamination unit and an individual was observed to not wear a full face respirator while performing this task.
- 2.
On September 23, 1981, the technician samp 1 i ng the Vent-vent for tritium was observed by the inspector to use a method other than that required by the approved procedure, and this method did not provide a representative sample of tritium concentration.
- 3.
On September 23, 1981, the inspector observed also that the approved tritium sampling method was inadequate in that it too would not provide a representative sample.
On September 24, 1981, the inspector observed an individual perform se 1 f-decontami nation with out notifying hea 1th physics.
Subsequent surveys of this person performed after he left the frisking station/
portal monitor revealed this individual had inadequately frisked and was still contaminated.

Docket Nos. 50-280 & 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32 & DPR-37 This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV.E.2).
B.
As required by 10 CFR 20.203(c), each high radiation area, i.e., greater than 100 millirem per hour whole body exposure, shall be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the radiation caution symbol and the words:
CAUTION (or DANGER) HIGH RADIATION AREA.
C.
Contrary to the above, on September 22, 1981, dose rates of 200 millirem per hour were present in the v~cinity of the process vent filters in the auxil-iary building. The affected area was not posted as required.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV.E2).
As required by 10 CFR-20':*203(c)(3), the controls established for locked high radiation areas required by T~chnical Specification 6.4.B.1 shall be estab-1 i shed in such a way that no i ndi vi dual will be prevented from leaving a high radiation area.
Contrary to the above:
on September 22, 1981, the inspector observed that the door to the Unit 1 seal water filter room was locked closed with a chain and padlock.
No provision was made in the controls established by the licensee (approved key control procedures) to ensure individuals entering such an area were provided continuous opportunity for egress.
This is a Severity Level VI Violation (Supplement IV.F).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:

Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
The responses directed by.this Notice are not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
