Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection 50-245/80-23
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Mr. K. Plumlee of this office
on November 5-7 and December 12-14, 1980 at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station,
Unit 1 of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-21 and to the disc.ussions
of our findings held by Mr. Plumlee with Mr. E. Mroczka and others of your staff
at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of Inspection
and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this , letter. Within
these areas, the inspection cons'sted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, measurements made by the
inspector, and observations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your activities
i
were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the
i
Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These items of noncompliance
have been categorized into the levels described in the Federal Register Notice
(45 FR 66754) dated October 7, 1980.
!
Items Al and A2 in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter were identi-
l
fied during previous inspections of your licensed activities on April 23, 1980
l
and February 12, 1979, and were documented in the enclosure to our letters dated
'
June 26, 1980 and March 20, 1979.
Your letters to this office dated July 22,
1980 and April 12, 1979 stated that you provided administrative counselling to
the worker who failed to wear his assigned dosimeters; and verified the posting
of Radioactive Materials Areas of the station.
From our November 5-7 and December
12-14, 1980 inspection, it appears that the stated corrective actions were not
fully effective since these items have recurred.
Recurrent and uncorrected
items of noncompliance are given additional weight in the consideration and
selection of appropriate enforcement action.
Therefore, in your response.to
this letter, you should give particular attention to those actions taken or
planned to ensure that identified items of ncncompliance will be completely
corrected and will not recur.
