Appendix A NOTICEOFV70LATI0d This refers to the inspection conducted by representatives of the Region III (Chicago) Office at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station Oak Harbor, Ohio, of activities authorized by NRC License No. NPF-3.
During this inspection conducted on April 21-24, ar;d May 2 and e-8,1980, the Item 2 is a following apparent itans of noncompliance were identified.
violation; Items 1 and 3 are infractions.
10 CFR 20.101(b) requires that during any calendar quarter, the dose to 1.
the whole body of any individual working in a restricted area not exceed 3 rems.
Contrary to this requirement, during the second calendar quarter of 1980 a senior chem and rad tester received a dose exceeding 3 rems when on he erztered the normal sump tunnel Teacing to the cavity April 20,1980, beneath the reactor vessel while the incores vnre in the withdrawn posi-tion beneath the vessel.
His TLD indicated a dose of 4.70 rem <.
A TfD worn eerlier in the calendar quartar indicated a dose of 0.055 reas.
This is an infraction.
(Civil Penalty-44000) 10 CFR 20.201(b) requires that surveys be made as may be necessary to 2.
comply with 10 CFR 20 regulations.
One of these regulations, 20.101(b),
sets dose limits for individuals in a restricted area.
Contrary to the above, exposure rate evaluations made by the scr.icr :h :
and rad tester during the April 30, 1980, entry to the normal sump tunnel leading to the cavity beneath the reactor vessel were not adequate to ensure that dose limits cf 10 CFR 20.101(b) would not be exceeded.
This uiolation resulted in an overexposure to radiation and had the potential for causing a substantial radiation overexposure.

... 7. Minimize personnel radiation should be carried out if applicable:
exposures by planning for access to and exit from work areas...."
i 800 7110 25LI)
Appendix A I contrary to the above, regarding the entry to the reactor cavity on April 30, 1980, proper planning for access to and exit from the work area to minisite personal radiation exposures was not evident, in that neither the assistant shift supervisor por the senior ches and rad tester reviewed the prnviously conducted limited survey of ^he area which was recorded and on file nor were either aware of the construction of a temporary door in the wrong location in the nonsal susp tunnel, although the construc-tion error had been noted in the Health Physics Log.
This it Gn infraction.
