RESPONSE TO
.}INSPECTIONREPORT 50-269, -27.,'-287/76-12 i
. O, ITEM 1.1 Contrary to Technical Specification 6.4.1.g on October 13, 1976, Oconee Nuclear Station Directive 3.8.2 was not adhered to in that three persons entered radiation control zones without completing the daily exposure time card as required.
RESPONSE
Counseling sessions have been held with the specific individuals involved in this incident, all >bintenance Supervisors, Shif t Supervisors, and the Construction Supervisor. The necessity for accurately accounting for radiation exposure via the Daily Radiation Exposure Cards was emphasized.
This information has been promulgated to personnel reporting to the above listed supervisors.
It is felt that this action will be effective to pre-vent recurrence of this item.
ITEM I.2 Contrary to 10CFR20.203(c) access to five high radiation areas in the auxiliary building was not controlled as required, on October 13, 1976.
RESPONSE
In order to prevent recurrence of access doors to high radiation areas being inadvertently left open, the health physics section routinely checks the radiation control area to verify that high radiation access doors are closed and locked.
Reports will be submitted to the Health Physics Super-visor if conditions contrary to 10CFR20.203(c) are encountered.
Reports of these conditions are brought to the attention of the station Superinten-dents and they are requested to inform their personnel of these conditions and aid in the prevention of recurrence.
By maintaining routine surveillance of the radiation control area, and identifying problem areas to the responsi-ble management personnel, it is felt that positive control of entrances to high radiation areas will be maintained.
Specific items identified in the report have been corrected as follows:
The hole in the entrance door to RM 160, Unit 3 Low Pressure Injection Cooler was repaired on October 15, 1976.
With this repair to the door, positive control of entry to this room will be maintained and thus in compliance with 10CFR20.203(c)(2)(iii).
The padlock on the entrance to the Janitor Storage Room was replaced on October 15, 1976 with a key in, free egress type lock.
This change will bring this area into compliance with 10CFR20.203(c)(3).
A physical barricade with a locked docr has been erected around the High Radiation Area created by Valve 2HP-181.
The barricade was installed on October 18, 1976. With the erection of the barricado and door, this nrea should now be in compliance with 10CFR20.203(c).

Supervisors emphasizing the importance of maintaining fire extinguishers operable and in their proper locations. Letters were sent to,these super-I visors and it has been confirmed that they have held discussions with their crew personnel.
We feel this action is appropriate to prevent recurrence of similar problems.

With regard to unresolved item 76-12/1, Non-Destructive Examination (NDE)
Acceptance Criteria, a commitment date of January 1, 1977 had been estab-lished. Due to the number of fabrication and welding codes in use at Oconee, this effort will require more time than originally envisioned.
This work is now expected to be completed by June 1, 1977.
