e ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry Docket Nos. 50-280, 50-281 License Nos. DPR-32, DPR-37 During the N1Jclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on August 3-7, 1987, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The violations involved the inability to perform a source check on a liquid effluent monitor and failure to conduct an evaluation to determine concentrations of radioactive materials in sewage sludge.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification Table 4.1-l(a) requires the licensee to perform a source check on radiation monitor 1-RM-LW-108 prior to each liquid radwaste release. Technical Specification Section 1, states that a source check shall be the qualitative assessment of radiation monitor response when the channel sensor is exposed to a radioactive source
- Contrary to the above, the licensee was unable to perform an adequate source check on radiation monitor 1-RM-LW-108 prior to each liquid radwaste release in accordance with the Technical Specification in that the monitor background was so high that the radiation monitor response could not be assessed when the channel sensor was exposed to the radioactive check source.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 20.201(b) requires that each licensee make or cause to be made such surveys as may be necessary to comply with the regulations in 10 CFR 20 and surveys that are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present.
10 CFR 20.301 and 20.302 specify methods of disposal of radioactive material and specify radioactivity limits on such disposals.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to conduct an evaluation and to determine if concentrations of radioactive materials were contained in licensee-generated sanitary sewage sludge.
This is a Sever~ty Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Virginia Electric and Power Company is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply 8709150044 B70909 PDR ADOCK 05000280.
