Radiation Protection Procedure 1602.18, Smear Sampling, has been established in accordance with this Technical Specification.
Step 6.0 in this procedure states, " Monthly smears taken during the Reactor Auxiliary Building Survey will be counted for alpha radiation.
If alpha contamination is found, more extensive and more frequent surveys will be made for alpha."
Contrary to the above, during the months of April and May, 1980, the licensee failed to count smears taken during either the Unit 1 or Unit 2 Reactor Auxiliary Building Surveys for alpha radiation.
This is an infraction.

l Step 5.0 in this procedure states that all laundered clothing j
. with less than 0.1 mrem /hr of fixed contamination may be released for normal use.
Items with fixed contamination levels between 0.1 mrem /hr and 1 mrem /hr will be segregated for use in highly comtaminated areas (outer set of coveralls, etc.).
For items above 1 mrem /hr the Health Physics Supervisor will specify final storage or disposal."
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to adhere to the procedural requirements relating to the handling and monitoring of laundered Anti-C clothing in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 controlled access areas.
Specifically, on June 5, 1980, two (2) out of ten (10) sets of Anti-C l
