February 10, 1993, one violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures involving nuclear safety, including applicable check-off lists and instructions for preventive and corrective maintenance operations which could have an effect on the nuclear safety of the facility be prepared, approved, implemented, and maintained. Administrative Control Procedure 1407.2, " Material Control in the Spent Fuel Pool and Cask Pool", implements this requirement by requiring a Fuel Storage Pool / Cask Pool Storage Permit to be initiated and approved for each item, other than tools, that will be stored in the Fuel Storage or Cask Pool.
This procedure also prohibits the storage of items with contact dose rates greater than 35 Rad per hour in the Cask Pool.
Contrary to the above, on September 4, 1992, workers did not initiate and obtain approval on a fuel Storage Pool / Cask Pool Storage Permit prior to storing a stellite bearing from a control rod blade in the Cask Pool.
Further, the stellite bearing had contact dose rates greater than 20,000 Rad per hour.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
