During an NRC inspection conducted on March 28 - April 2, 1993, and subsequent telephone conversations on April 13 and 28,1993, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of j
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," the violations are listed below:
~
A.
Technical Specification (TS) 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained, and adhered to for l
all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
Chemistry and Radiation-Protection. Procedure RSP-101, Basic Radiological Safety Information and Instructions for Radiation Workers, Revision (Rev.) 17, dated February 11, 1993, Section 3.1.17.1 states that no radioactive material is permitted outside the Radiation Controlled Area i
(RCA), except items which are conditionally released, under Health Physics (HP) escort, or authorized radioactive. material shipments.
Contrary to the above, radioactive material was identified to be present outside the Radiation Control Area (RCA) as follows:
[
1.
On March 31, 1993, a wrench with approximately 6000 counts per 1
minute (cpm) fixed and 800 disinteg) rations per minute per 100 square centimeters (dpm/100 cm
.smearable contamination was detected at the protected area portal monitor located outside the i
RCA.
l 2.
On April 11, 1993, a tool bag with,approximately 3000 dpm per probe area fixed and 66 dpm/100 cm' smearable contamination was removed from the RCA without first being surveyed for conditional i
release by HP.
Ti 's is a repeat Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
'B.
TS 6.8 requires that procedures for Security Plan implementation and i
personnel radiation protection shall be established, implemented, and l'
maintained.
Security Procedure SS-201, Section 4.4, Item 5 states that security officers are to operate the exit turnstile ensuring that personnel have L

Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River 3 License No. DPR-72 Procedure SS-207, Rev. 5, Section 4.8.1.1 states that individuals who fail to clear the radiation monitor after a second attempt will be advised by security personnel to stand by and be guided by instructions from HP personnel.
Post Order #1006, Rev. 3, dated July 30, 1992, Section 5 provides general requirements for processing personnel exiting the plant and the use of exit portal radiation monitors.
Contrary to the above, radioactive material was identified' to be present outside the RCA at the exit portal monitor and security personnel failed to follow established procedures as follows: On March 17, 1993, a maintenance worker carrying the same wrench identified in Example 1 of Violation A above alarmed the portal monitor located outside the RCA while exiting the protected area, and Security failed to follow their procedures to notify HP personnel when the contaminated equipment alarmed the protected area portal monitor.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Florida Power Corporation is 4
hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
