Dear Mr. Keppler:
Toledo Edison acknowledges, receipt of your August 23, 1978 letter and enclosures Appendix A and Report 78-17, referencing apparent deviations from Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 commitments to the NRC listed as " Infractions" in Appendix A.
Infraction:
1.
10 CFR 20.201(b) equires a licensee to make or cause to be made such surveys as may be necessary for him to comply with the regulations in 10 CFR Part 20.
Sec-tion 20.203(b) requires radiation areas be conspicuously posted.
Contrary to the above, surveys were not performed at the perimeter fence of the Rad Waste Storage Pad after addi-tional drums of compacted radioactive waste material were pl. iced on the pad and existing drums rearranged on June 27, 1978.
Consequently, a 13 mr/hr radiation area exterior to the fence which resulted from the placement and re-arrangement of the drums was not posted as a radiation area.
Response
Corrective action taken and results achieved.
Upon discovery of this condition, the drums were rearranged properly, the area was resurveyed and properly posted.
i Corrective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance.
This incident was reviewed with all Chemistry and Health Physics personnel, stressing the importance of radiation surveys and adherence to procedures.
The date when full compliance will be achieved.
