i APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION GPU Nuclear Corporation Docket No. 50-289 i
Threa Mile Island Unit 1 License No. DPR-50 As a result of the inspection conducted on December 15-29,1981, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7,1980),
the following violations were identified.
- A.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires that applicable regulatory requirements be translated into specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions.
10 CFR 50. Appendix A, Criterion 64 states in part that "...means shall be provided for monitoring... effluent discharge paths...for radioactivity that may be released from normal operations, including anticipated operational occurrences and from postulated accidents".
The NRC approved Operational Quality Assurance Program, FSAR, Revision 9, May 28,1981, Article 4.2.1.2, requires that all design regulations will be reviewed and adhered to unless specific Technical Specifications or 4
FSAR changes are requested.
Contrary to these requirements, the licensee's radioactive waste solidification system did not provide for adequate means of monitoring radioactive gaseous effluent releases to the environment during both normal operational occurrences and from postulated accidents.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 20.103(a)(3) requires that the licensee use suitable measurements of concentrations of radioactive materials in air for detecting and evaluating airborne radioactivity in restricted areas.
Contrary to this requirement, during the period May - December 1981 the licensee pemitted personnel to visually monitor solidification container filling with evaporator bottoms through an inspection port in the container without previously making suitable measurements for detecting and evaluating the concentrations of radioactive 4
materials in the gases and vapors being vented from the inspection f
port.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
i C.
10 CFR 20.401(b) states in part that "Each license shall maintain records... showing the results of surveys required by 20.201(b)".
Contrary to this requirement, surveys made to evaluate the external radiation levels of hoses used for transferring radioactive wastes i
per Operating Procedure 1104-28A were not documented.

Technical Specifications, Appendix A, Section 6.8.1, requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained that meet or exceed the requirements and reconmendations of Section 5.1 and 5.3 of ANSI N18.7-1972 and Appendix ' A" of USNRC Regulatory e
Guide 1.33, dated November 1972.
Contrary to this requirement, Unit 1 Operating Procedure 1104-28A,
" Radioactive Waste Solidification - Hittman," Revision 2, effective September 4,1981, was inadequate in that it did not include when or to where a vent line should be run from the head assembly of the Hittman liner.
This a Severity Level V Violation (supplement I).
E.
Technical Specifications, Appendix A, Section 6.11, requires that procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and shall be approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
Contrary to this requirement, the following Radiological Controls Procedures (RCP) were not adhered to.
RCP 1796, "DOP Testing Controlled Vacuum Cleaners," Revision 0, effective March 3,1981, requires, in paragraph 5.1.3, that the DOP generator and detector be calibrated within the past six months.
Contrary to this procedure, controlled vacuum cleaners whose High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtere were tested in July and August of 1981 were tested with equipment that was calibrated in April 1980 RCP 1683, " Controlled Vacuum Cleaners," Revision 3, effective July 17,1981, required in paragraph 5.2.4, that the location of all vacuum cleaners be determined weekly.
Contrary to this procedure, locations of controlled vacutan cleaners have not been detemined since November 1981.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).
