NOTICE OF VIOLATION Virginia Electric and Power Company Surry 2 Docket No.: 50-281 License No.: DPR-37 During an NRC inspection conducted on December 3, 1995, through January 6, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification (TS) 6.4.B requires procedures for personnel radiation protection to be prepared consistent with 10 CFR 20.
- Further, workers must adhere to these procedures for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
VPAP-2101, Radiation Protection Program, revision 7-PSl, implements the procedural requirements of TS 6.4.B and contains instructions for using station Radiation Work Permits (RWP).
HP-1081.20, Radiation Work Permits:
RWP Briefing and Controlling Work, revision 3, provides instructions for developing RWP briefing checklists and conducting RWP briefs.
RWP S-95-1140 established the radiological requirements for activities associated with performing a leak repair to the Unit 2 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) letdown system.
The RWP specified continuous radiological protection (RP) coverage while workers were inside containment and required two sets of protective clothing (PC) for welding and grinding activities.
Contrary to the above, on December 14, 1995, workers failed to properly implement VPAP-2101, HP-1081.20, and several radiological requirements specified in RWP S-95-1140 as evidenced by the following examples:
. (1)
(2)
(3) 9602120310 960205 PDR ADOCK 05000280 G
PDR Workers did not read and understand the RWP prior to entering the RCA as required by VPAP-2101, section 6.8.7.
The RWP brief was incomplete in that PC requirements were not discussed as required by HP-1081.20, sections 6.1.6 and 6.2.3.
Two workers who performed welding and grinding activities failed to wear a second set of PC as required by RWP S 1140.
Upon exiting containment, one worker was determined to be contaminated.
ENCLOSURE 1
(4) 2 Two workers failed to comply with RWP S-95-1140 in that they continued to perform welding and grinding activities at the job site for approximately 15 minute~ without continuous RP coverage.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Virginia Electric and Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory CoR111ission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with*a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(l} the reason for the violation, or if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2} the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3} the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previously docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified; suspended, or revoked, or why such.other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR}, to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
Dated at Atlanta, Georgia This 05day of February, 1996
