TE L E P= Q N E:A*Ca704 Sicau peoowction 373-4083 December 20, 1976 Mr. Norman C. Moseley, Director U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Suite 818 230 Peachtree Street, Northwest Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re: Oconee Nuclear Station Docket Nos. 50-269, -270, -287
Dear Mr. Moseley:
Pursuant to the requirements of Oconee Nuclear Station Technical Specification 6.6.2.2c and 6.6.2.2.d, this report is submitted describing a condition in which a measured radiation level exceeded the control level by greater than ten times.
On Dr ember 13, 1976, analytical results of thermoluminescent dosimeters in the field from June 22, 1976 to September 21, 1976 were received. A summary of the pertinent results of the radiation levels is as follows:
Sample Location Total mR mR/hr 008 Liberty, S. C. (control) 21.7 0.010 000.18 West Fence of 1010 0.468 Restricted Area s
Sample location 000.18 is located well within the exclusion area on the west fence, which isolates the restricted area from the unrestricted area.
The location is 60 feet from a borated water storage tank (BWST) which, according to unit operation, causes varying radiation levels at location 000.18. During refueling operations associated with Oconee Unit 1, the area adjacent to the BWST was monitored, and roped off as necessary, with appropriate warning signs due te, the increased level of radiation from the BWST. However, the dosimeter at location 000.18 was not moved to reflect the roped off boundary of the restricted and unrestricted area and therefore for a portion of the time period covered in this report,
((l 1912120 N 3 S
s~ r o Mr. Norman C. Moseley Page 2 December 20, 1976 location 000.18 was in the restricted zone and was subject to radiation levels permitted in a restricted zone. Although the measured levels at location 000.18 exceed control levels by ten times, they are within the radiation levels permitted in unrestricted areas by 10CFR20.105. There-fore, it is concluded that the health and safety of the public was not adversely affected by this condition.
Ve truly yours, t
