Arkansas Power and Light Company Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit No. 1 Docket No. 50-313 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of January 22 through February 21, 1980, it appears that one of your activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC regulations and the conditions of your license (DPR-51), as indicated below:
10 CFR 20.203 (c) "High Radiation Areas" states, in part, "Each entrance or access point to a high radiation area shall be:
. Equipped with a control device which shall energize a conspicuous visible or audible alarm signal in such a manner that the individual entering the high radiation area and the licensee or a supervisor of the activity are made aware of the entry; or.
. Maintained locked except during periods when access to the area is required, with positive control over each individual entry."
10 CFR 20.202 (b)(3) defines high radiation area as "any area, accessible to personnel, in which there exists radiation originating in whole or in part within licensed material at such levels that a major portion of the body could receive in any one hour dose in excess of 100 millirem."
Contrary to the above, on February 6, 1980, door 194 was found to be unlocked and open with no positive access control.
Door 194 provides access to the Unit 1 North Piping Penetration Room, which was a posted high radiation area with accessible whole-body radiation in excess of 700 millirems per hour.
This is an infraction (313/80-03-01).
