Unit N2. 1 REPLY TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION Inspection No. 80-22 Letter Dated August 18, 1980 INFRACTION Description of Infraction (80-22-01) 10 CFR 20.101, " Radiation Dose Standards for Individuals in Restricted Areas", Section (a), limits the occupational whole body dose to 1.25 rem per calendar quarter except as provided by 10 CFR 20.101(b), which allows at occupational whole body dose up to 3 rems per calendar quarter provided that certain specified conditions are met.
One of these conditions requires that the licensee has determined the individual's accumulatad occupational dose to the whole body on Form NRC-4 or on a clear nd legibin record containing all of the information required on that form.
Contrary to the above, during the first calendar quarter of 1980, an individual was permitted to exceed in excess of 1.25 rem (having received 1.41 rem) and the prescribed Form NRC-4, or equivalent, was not completed.
Discussion of Infraction All Forms NRC-4, or equivalent (BVPS-Radeon Form 4.5), are reviewed by the Radeon Foreman in charge of personnel monitoring. The forms are reviewed at the time individuals enter the station and complete required data on the forms. At this time, the Radeon Foreman assigns individual dose limits depending on the degree of information available for fcrm completion.
The inspector noted the Radeon Form 4.5 was notated to limit the individual to 1.25 rem / quarter and, in addition, the individual's dose was controlled until receipt of the individual's prior exposure history.
All required information was available in the individual's file but was not transcribed onto Radeon Form 4.5.
Corrective Action Taken The omissions noted by the inspector were corrected immediately.
In
' addition, personnel responsible for preparing the Radeon Form (s) 4.5 were instructed to promptly update Form 4.5 upon the receipt of the required information.
Action to Prevent Recurrence The Radeon Supervisor counciled both the Personnel Records Assistant and his clerk as to the requirements for completing Radeon Form (s) 4.5.
In addition, the Radeon. Foreman in charge of Personnel Monitoring has been instructed to personally review completed Radeon Forms 4.5 (Form NRC-4 equivalent) prior to permitting personnel to exceed occupational radiation dose limits as set forth in 10 CFR 20.101(a).
i l
Date On Which Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Full compliance has been achieved at this time.
