10 CFR 20.203(b), " Radiation areas," states that "Each radiation area shall be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearina the radia-tion caution symbol and the words:

Unit 1 Technical Specification 3.12 and Unit 2 Technical Specifica-tion 3.7.9.1 require that each sealed source containing radioactive material either in excess of 100 microcuries of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 5 microcuries of alpha emitting material shall be free of removable contamination equal to or greater than 0.005 microcuries.
Unit 1 Surveillance Requirement 4.14 and Unit 2 Surveillance Require-ment 4.7.9.1.1 require that the sealed sources specified above be tested for removable contamination at least once per six months.
Contrary to the above, the sealed sources in use at Arkansas Nuclear One that are required to be tested for removable contamination were not tested within the required six-month interval.
Specifically, the sealed sources were tested on December 14, 1980, and then were not tested again until August 24, 1981.
This is a Severity Level V Violation.
