h APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Power Authority of the State of New York Docket No. 50-286 (Indian Point Unit 3)
License No. OPR-64 EA-80-48 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on June 24-26, 1980 at the Indian Point Unit 3 Nuclear Power Plant, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC Regulations and the conditions of your license as indicated below.
A.
Technical Specification 6.8 requires that written procedures be estab-lished, implemented and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Rc;platory Guide 1.33, November 1972.
This Regulatory Guide rr N s that procecures for repair or replacement of equipment be pre---
prior to beginning work.
Contrary to the above,- as of June 24, 1980. repair of the incore flux monitoring system and replacement of neutron detectors had been conducted without preparation and use of the required procedures.
This is a violation (Civil Penalty - $4,000).
B.
10 CFR 20.101(a) limits the total occupational dose received per calendar quarter by individuals in restricted areas to 18 3/4 rems to the extremi-ties, and 7-1/2 rems to the skin of the whole body.
In addition, if certain specified conditions are met, Section 20.101(b) allows whole body exposures of 3 rems per calendar quarter.
Contrary'to the above, during the second calendar quarter of 1980 (April-June), two individuals sustained whole body exposures of 4.209
. rems and 4.130 rems, respectively. Additionally, one of the individuals sustained exposure of the skin of 8.180 rems and the other sustained an extremity exposure of 43.669 rems.
This is an infraction (Civil Penalty - $3,]00).
C.
10 CFR 20.202 requires that each licensee supply appropriate personnel monitoring equipment and require its use by each individual who enters a restricted area under such circumstances tot he receives, or is likely to receive, a dose in any calendar quarter la excess of 25 percent of the
, applicable value specified in paragraph (a) of Section 20.101.
Contrary to the above, on June 24, 1980 during repair of incore flux detector drive components, two individuals received radiation doses to
~
the extremities in-excess of 25 percent of the value specified in 10 CFR 20.201(a) and appropriate extremity monitoring equipment was not supplied.
.This is an infraction (Civil Penalty - $3,000).

Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radiation ~ protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and shall be followed in all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
1.
- Radiological and Environmental Serv' ices Procedure No. RE-HP-P204,
" Containment Entry," requires in Section 7 that _ a." Condition at time of Containment Entry Form'l be completed prior to containment entry.
. Contrary to the above, the " fractional part of MPC in containment" and " areas to be surveyed". sections of the entry form were not completed for a-containment entry made by personnel to repair an incore flux detector drive on June 24, 1980.
This is a deficiency (Civil Penalty - $1,000).
2.
Radiological and. Environmental Services Procedure No. RE-HPP-4.1,
" Issuance and Control of Personnel Dosimetry," requires in Section
-7.1.5.2. that extremity dosimetry should be issued when it is likely that the extremity dosa will. exceed 5 times the whole body exposure and be greater than 500 mrem /hr to the extremity.
This procedure for personnel radiation protection is not consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.202, " Personnel monitoring," in that it do'es not provix'.e adequate guidance for extremity monitnring if personnel exposures in any calendar. quarter are likely to' exceed 25 percent of the applicable value specified in paragraph (a) of Section 20.101.
This.is a deficiency _(Civil Penalty - $1,000).
E.
10 CFR 50.72 requires -that each licensee notify the.NRC Operations Center as soon as possible and in all cases within one hour of the occurrence of any event meeting the criteria of 10 CFR 20.403.
10 CFR 20.403 requires each licensee to notify the NRC of any incident involving licensed material.which may have caused or threatens to cause exposure of the whole body of any individual to ~5 rems or more of radiation.
Contrary to the above, on June 24,.1980 during an incident involving work on incore. flux detector components, three individuals were exposed to radiation which may have caused whole body exposures in excess of 5 rems and the NRC Operations Center was nct notified.
,This is an infraction (Civil Penalty - $0).
This Notice of Violation is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of-Section 2.201 of the.NRC's " Rules lof. Practice," Part 2, Title 10, code of Federal Regulations.
