O APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION hermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation Docket No. 50-271 Westborough, Massachusetts 01581 License No. DPR-28 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on October 1-4, 1979, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC regulations and the conditions of your license as indicated below.
Items A and B are infractions.
A.
Technical Specification 6.5.A states, " Detailed written procedures...shall be prepared and approved. All procedures shall be adhered to."
Technical Specification 6.5.B requires, in part, that " radiation control standards and procedures shall be prepared, approved and maintained...".
Procedure AP 0502 requires that standard radiation work permits (RWP) be used for nonroutine work in the radiation control area (RCA) and that pertinent results of radiological surveys be entered on the RWP.
Contrary to the above requirement, a nonroutine task, hydrolasing the reactor vessel, was performed under a routine RWP which did not indicate radiological data pertinent to the task. The RWP indicated contamiration levels of 3000-5000 dpm/100 cm2 and radiation levels of 10-35 mr/hr when licensee s rveys indicated contamination levels in excess of 1,000,000 dpm/100 cm and radiation levels in excess of 3,000 mr/hr.
B.
10 CFR 20.201(b) requires each licensee to make or cause to be made such surveys as may be necessary to comply with the regulatory requirements specified in 10 CFR Part 20.
Contrary to the above requirement, surveys adequate to assure compliance with 10 CFR 20.101(a) were not perfomed in the reactor vessel on October 2, 1979. No measurements of beta radiation were made prior to hydrolasing although subsequent measurements indicated beta exposures of 1.75 Rad /hr on unhydrolased areas.
