50-269, -270, -287/77-24 Notice of Violation Item A Technical Specification 6.41 states that the station shall be operated and 4
I maintained in accordance with approved procedures and that written procedures with aporopriate check-off lists and instructions shall be provided, in part, for Eme ocy Procedures involving potential or actual release of radioactivity, and Radiation Control procedures.
Health Physics procedure, HP/0/B/1009/04,
" Scott Air Paks II and III, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus," requires that all Scott Air Paks be thoroughly inspected once per month and the inspection information be placed on a tag on the case.
Contrary to the above, on October 12, 1977, an inspector observed the inspection tags on two Scott Air Paks in Unit 1 and 2 control room which indicated they I
had not been inspected during June, August, September and December of 1976 and February, March and August of 1977. Two Scott Air Paks in Unit 3 control room and one Scott Air Pak in the administrative building first aid room had in-4 spection tags which indicated similar missing inspection dates.
This is an in-fraction.
O Response:
Scott Air Packs in Unit 1 and 2 Control Room, Unit 3 Control Room, and the First Aid Room were considered fire protection equipment and were not inspected as equipment required by the Emergency Plan per HP/0/B/1009/04.
However, these air packs were readily available for use in a radiological emergency. This equipment will be included as emergency plan equipment and the monthly inspections required by HP/0/B1009/04 will be performed.
Item B j
Technical Specification Table 4.1-1 requires a monthly battery check and annual calibration of emergency survey instruments.
Contrary to the aboee on Octobe 12, 1977, an inspector observed that the emergency survey instruments HF 69-2 in Unit 3 control room and HP 69-1 in Units 1 and 2 control room had apparectly last received a monthly battery check on March 24, 1977 and May 4, 1977, respectively.
This is a deficiency.
Response
These survey instruments have been checked monthly since October 1977.
A change will be made to procedure HP/0/B/1009/01 to require a monthly battery and response check of the radiation monitoring instruments located in each emergency kit.
Additionally, this test will be added to Station Directive 3.2.2 " Responsibility
'for and Scheduling of Surveillance Requirement". These administrative changes
" will be completed by January 15, 1978.

Item C Section IIIA. of the Emergency Procedure states that the auxiliary building first aid room will be equipped with a stretcher, resuscitator, first aid supplies and a monitoring instrument, and that this equipment will be available for handling emergencies.
49CFR Part 173.34 requires the oxygen bottles of the resuscitator kit be hydrostatically tested every five years.
Contrary to the above, the resuscitator kit contained oxygen bottles that had not been hydrostatically tested at the required five-year intervals (bottles stamped 10-66). This item is a deviation.
Response
The oxygen bottles have been sent to the vendor for hydrostatic testing.
- Also, a change has been made to Section IIIA of the Emergency Procedure to delete the requirement for a resuscitator as part of the equipment in the Auxiliary Building First Aid Room. The resuscitator is not required to effectively handle contaminated
-personnel. _
