APPENDIX C NOTICE OF DEVIATION Jersey Central Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-219 This re'ars to the inspections conducted by representatives of the Region I. (Philadelphia) Office at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, Forked River, New Jersey, of activities authorized by NRC License No.
During these inspections conducted September 6-3, 18-19, and 26-29, 1973, (Inspection No. 219/78.3) and on October 17-19,1978,(Inspection lo. 50-219/78-27) the following apparent deviation was identified.
10 CFR 20.1, " Purposes," states in Section (c), that, " persons engaged in activities under licenses issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Connission...should, in addition to complying with the requirements set forth in this part make every reasonable effort to maintain radiation exposures,...,as icw as reasonably achievable."
Regulatory Guide 8.S, "Information Relevant to Ensuring that Occu-paticnal Radiation Expcsures at :!uclear Power Staticns will be As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable," states:
a.
in Section 2.b, Radiation Shields and Geometrv, paragraph (1),
" exposure of personnel servicing a specific component (such as a pump, filter, or valve) to radiation from other compcnents containing radioactive material can be reduced by providing shielding between the individual components that constitute substantial radiation sources and the receptor."
b.
in Section 3.a, Precaration and Plannina, paragraph (5),
"The existing rsJiation levels frequently can be reduced by draining, flushing, or decontamination methods or by removing and transporting the component to a lower radiation zone."
The Oyster Creek Unit No.1 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR)
Chapter XII, Conduct of Ooerations, states in Section 3.3.1, "It is the policy of the company to keep pers.onnel radiation exposure within the regulations, and beyond that, to keep it as low as practi cabl e. "
N011sosoj
' Appendix C Contrary to the above, on September 28, 1978, no reasonable effort (i.e., shielding, decontamination, or removal) was made to reduce the whole body radiation levels emanating from work tables used to disassemble and rebuild control rod drive mechanisms.
The tables emanated radiation levels as high as 600 mrem /hr at contact and consequently produced whole body dose rates as high as 100 mrem /hr to which workers were exposed.
