APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Boston Edison Company Docket No. 50-293 Boston, Massachusetts 02199 Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on November 28 -
December 1,1978, it appears that one of your activities was not con-ducted in full compliance with NRC regulations and the conditions of your NRC Facility License No. DPR-35, as indicated below. This item is cate-gorized as a Deficiency.
Section 6.9.C.1 of Appendix A, Technical Specifications, requires that a report shall be submitted to the Commission within 60 days after January 1 and July 1 of eacii year specifying the quantity of each of the principal radionut3 ides released to unrestricted areas in liquid and gaseous ef-fluents during the previous six months.
The format and content of the report shall be in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.21 (Revision 1),
dated June, 1974.
Regulatory Guide 1.21 (Revision 1) requires, in part, that all normal and abnormal releases to unrestricted areas be included in the semiannual report.
Contrary to these requirements, the semiannual " Radioactive Effluent and Waste Disposal Report," for the period from July 1 through December 31, 1977, did not include an abnormal release of a total estimated activity of 34.3 uCi of Co-60, 20.7 uCi of Mn-54 and 21.6 uCi of other radionuclides.
This uncontrolled release resulted from a liquid radioactive spill which occurred in the Resin Addition Room on December 8, 1977, and discharged to the unrestricted area through the plant storm drain system, and sub-sequently the discharge canal.
This abnormal release was reported to the NRC in a Licensee Event Report (LER 77-051/03L-0), dated January 6,1978.
