APPENDIX A Notice of Violation New York Power Authority Docket No.
50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant License No. ORp-59 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 12 to April 25,1990, and in accordance with NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) the following violations were identified, 10 CFR 20.201 requires that surveys be taken to ensure the measurement and n.
evaluation of the concentration of radioactive material present at a job site, to ensure adequate respiratory protective measures.
NYPA Radio-logical Work Permit Procedure RPP-4) requires that respiratory protective measures be used in an area w(here surface contamination is above dpm.
Contrary to the above, on April 3,1990, NYPA did not perform a survey and thus did not evaluate the concentration of radioactive material present at l
the edge of the reactor vessel cavity, to ensure adequate respiratory pro-tective measures.
Respi ratory protective measures were not used when surf ace contamination was above 50,000 dpm (600,000 dpm). This led to the i
internal contamination of two maintenance workers, l
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the New York Power Authority is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter chich transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in
- reply, including:
(1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid-further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is known, consideration will be given to extending this response time, b.
10 'CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, Test Control, requires that surveil-lance testing ensure satisfactory in service performance.
Contrary to the
- above, surveillance
- testing, performed - prior to March 19, 1990, did not ensure satisfactory in service performance of the HPCI system.
Specifically, the surveillance testing performed on February 25 and March 17, 1990 did not identify the unstable HPCI system response seen following the March 19 injection to the reactor vessel.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).
i No response to this violation is required.
