j APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Company Docket Nos. 50-321, 50-366 Hatch 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-57, NPF-5 As a result of the inspection conducted on April 13-17, 1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980), the following violations were identified.
A.
'10 CFR 20.203(b) requires that "Each radiation area shall be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the radiation caution symbol and the words: CAUTION (OR DANGER) RADIATION AREA".
10 CFR 20.202(b)(2) states that radiation area "... means any area, accessible to personnel, in which there exists radiation... at such levels that a major portion of the body could receive in any one hour a dose in excess of 5 millirem, or in any 5 consecutive days a dose in excess of 100 millirem."
Contrary to the above, the following radiation areas were not conspicuously posted:
1.
on April 13, 1981, a general area eighteen inches from the south scram discharge header bank in the Unit 2 Reactor Building read 5 to 10 millirem per hour, and 2.
on April 13, 1981, a manway opening to the sump in the Unit 1 Radwaste Building read 50 millirem per hour at knee level and 600 millirem per hour in the manway opening.
Radiation levels at the gonads and the chest were greater than 5 millirem per hour.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV.E.2.).
B.
Teunnical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be estab-lished, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix "A" states in part that radiation protection procedures should be provided.
Contrary to the above, radiation protection procedures were not established, implemented and maintained in that:
1.
on April 15, 1981, alarm set points on 16 of 25 RM-14 friskers were 50%
to 150% greater than 200 cpm above background required by plant proce-dure HNP-8114 paragraph G.7.d.
Background radiation levels on April 15 were within 10 percent of levels recorded by the licensee at the time the alarm set points were determined.
