Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires written procedures to be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 Revision 2 February 1978.
l Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A. Revision 2, February 1978, requires written pro %iures for contamination control.
l Health Physics Procedure HP-7.1.10. " Radioactive Material Control Program
" requires that loose surface contamination on items to be released for unrestricted u.se be less than or equal to 1,000 dpm/100 cmr beta-gamma activity and less than or equal to 20 dpm/100 cm2. alpha activity.
The procedure also requires that the total beta-gamma activity on the surface (fixed and loose contamination) shell be less than or equal to 5,000 dpm/100 cmr and the total alpha surface activity be less than or equal to 100 dpm/100 cm8 Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to perform adequate contamination surveys of instrumentation prior to release of the equipment for unrestricted use, in that, on August 25, 1989, three Teledose transmitters and one receiver base station with loose surface contamination up to 2,000 dpm/100 cm2 and fixed contamination up to 50,000 dpm/100 cmr were transferred to the onsite Westinghouse Integrated Radiological Services Program (IRSP) for unrestricted use and subsequently l
shipped to another licensee.
L This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
