REPLY TO NCEICE 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 Restricced

Areas", Section (a), limits the occupational whole body dose to 1.25 ram per

calendar quarter except as provided by 10 CFR 20.101(b), which allova an

occupational whole body dose up to 3 rems per calendar quarter provided that

certain specified conditions are met.

One of these conditicas requires that

the licensee has determined the individual's accumulated occupational dose

to the whole body on Form NRC-4 or on a clear and legible 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 Radcon Foreman in charge of personnel mcnitoring.

The forms are reviewed

at the time individuals enter the station and complete required data on the

forms.

At this time, the Radcon Foreman assigns individual dose limits

depending on the degree of information available for form completion.

The

inspector noted the Radcon 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 indf ridual's prior exposure history. All required information

was available in tha individual's file but was not cranscribed onto Radeon

Form 4.5.

Corrective Action Taken

The omissions noted by the inspector were corrected immediately.

In

addition, personnel responsible for preparing the Radcon 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 Radcon Foreman in charge of Personnel Monitoring has been

instructed to personally review completed Radeon Forms 4.5 (Form NRC-4

l

equivalent) prior to permittini personnel to exceed occupational radiation

dose limits as set forth in 10 CFR 20.101(a) .

.

Date On Which Full Compliance Will Be Achieved

Full compliance has been achieved at this time.
