systems that can be defeated by leaving valves or breakers mispositioned..."
Contrary to the above, the "A" HPSI pump minimum flow recirculation valve, 2SI-423, was not required by procedure to be restored to its normal operating, locked open position following system maintenance on May 30, 1980. Consequently, during inservice inspection testing on July 3, 1980, damage to the "A" HPSI pump resulted from valve 2SI-423 remaining in the closed position (50-336).

Contrary to the above, on July 23, 1980, four individuals were not in-fonned of the presence of loose surface contamination and other radiolo-gical hazards, such as the potential to generate airborne radioactive material prior to working in the reactor building overhead.
Subsequent surveys showed up to 220,000 dpm/100 cmz removable contamination. The individuals, who were not wearing protective clothing, were found to be 2 beta-gama. (DN 50-245) contaminated to levels of 180,000 dpm/100 cm l
