d APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power Corporation License No. DPR-72
-i Based on the results'of the NRC inspection conducted on February 28 -
March 8, 1978, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements and License Condi-tions as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
Technical Specification 6.11 requires that radiation protection procedures be adhered to.
Radiation Protection Procedure RP-202,
" Radiological Surveys" specifies areas in which routine periodic radiation and contamination surveys are to be performed.
Contrary to the procedural requirements:
(1) Daily radiation and contamination surveys performed in the auxiliary building on 18 days during the third quarter 1977 and first quarter 1978 were incomplete in that not all areas specified by procedure RP-202 were surveyed; (2) no weekly contamination or radiation surveys have been performed of the diesel generator building; and (3) weekly radiation and contamination surveys performed for 3 weeks between October 4, 1977 and February 14, 1978, were incomplete in that not all areas specified by Procedure RP-202 were surveyed.
This item is an infraction.
B.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 required implementation of procedures including administrative and operating procedures.
Operating Procedure OP-205 Section 8, " Hydrogen Addition and Degasification,"
required in part, the return of waste gas system valves to normal positions at the conclusion reactor coolant degasification and the periodic (hourly) depressurization of the waste gas header when the header was isolated from the waste gas compressors. Administrative Instruction Al-500 Section 5.1 required the completion of signoff sheets used in conjunction with plant procedures.
Contrary to the above:
(1) on March 5, 1978, waste gas system valves were not returned to normal positions until approximately twelve hours after degasification was complete; (2) on March 5, 1978, periodic depressurization of the waste gas header was not performed; and (3) on March 3-5 signoff sheets pursuant to procedure OP-205 Section 8 were not completed.
The above examples of failure to follow procedures resulted in, or contributed to, the unplanned release of 128 curies of radioactive O
nobel gases on March 5, 1978.
This item is an infraction.
