" inaccurate" and "ince plete."
Further, you imply. that a proper evaluation'
' 'I
~
of the situation was. perforced prior to entry into the reactor cavity..
l It is evident that the evaluation performed on May 2 did not' cive lE adequate consideration to the radiological conditions which could exist in the reactor cavity when in-core instrument thimble's were in the withdrawn position.
This was the case even thouch our investigation I
disclosed that involved plant employees were aware of exo sure problems en:cuntered during cavity entries at other facilities (IE Circular No.
1 75-03 dated September 10, 1975).
The performance of radiolocical measure-ll ments and evaluation of radiological conditions provide the foundation.
Li for an effective radiological protection program.
C nsepuently,' measure-l' cents must be accurate and com:lete and evaluations must be thorough.
In addition to the above, you also state that the attendance of-an~ HP l
te:hnician at the point of entry satisfied the require Ent for'centinuous es: Ort by HP personnel.
It is apparent to us that neitner the literal re;;irement nor the basic purpose for continuous escort is =et by this action.

In y:ur le:ter f August 10, 1978, you express particular c:r.cern with Li cur characterization that this incident was indicative of a significant_
cana;erant weakness and y.u attempt to transfer th'e Diare to' a contract i
HP te:P.ician by describing the cause as an'isclated ;ers:nnei f ailure.
i I; is zur view that the incident resulted fr:: a weakness in :ne radia-I tien protection program, which we recard as a management res;:nsibility.
':e are c:ncerned that not one but several individuais, u re; resented i
.s everal dif ferent plant creu;s, were inv:1ved in -he failure :c ~ assure l
that procedures and re:uirements were being folic.ed.
Inis concern is an;iified by the' fact that ene of the individuals was the sani r re ier
~

5;e:ific c:mments regarding Mr. James' letters of July 20, 1975 and Au;ust 15,1978, to Mr. James G. Keppler are addressed in Appendix D.-
We.propese to impose civil penalties in the cumulative an:unt of Seven i
Th::usand Dollars (57,000) for the items of nonce pliance listed in A;;ar. dix A.
Appendix B of this letter is the Amended Notice of Proposed imp:sition of Civil Penalties.
You are required to resp:nd to this le::er, and in preparing your response you should folicw the instrut-tiens in Appendix A.

Base:: en :ne very real-pctential for a significant overexpcsure that i.as presented by this -
event and our concern for the demonstrated weakness in the radiatien' prctection progra= whicn we also addressed in tur letter of trans-mittai, we cenclude that a civil penalty is ~ c;;ropriate and consistent with IG.C criteria for it;csing civil penalties.
