Pago 1 of 3 McGuire Nuclear Station Response to Violation violation 50-369.370/90-0(-01 Technical Specification (TC) 6.11 requires procedures for personnel radiation protect.'on be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation protection.
Radiation Protection Manual section 2.3' contamination control, Revis.t.on (Rev.) 23, dated November 11, 1989, requires that all personael exiting from LAdiologically controls areas.(RCAs) must frisk p'rsonal items such as hardhats, notebooks, and flashlights.
Contrary.to the above, during the week of March 12, 1990, approximately 50 percent of 20 workers observed exiting the 774 foot elevation of the Unit 2 Auxiliary Building RCA failed to perform an individual radiation survey of personal items, for example hardhats.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement IV).
Response
(1)
Admission or denial of the alleged violation:
McGuire admits the violation.
(2)
Reason for the. violation:
Without addicional information (identification of personnel involved), the specific reason (s) for the violation cannot be isolated.
We do not believe that this is a training deficiency as this topic is covered thoroughly in initial and refresher training for all personnel with unescorted access.
(3)
The corrective steps which have been taken The Station Manager sent a memorandum to al. station 1
personnel (dated March 29, 1990) re-emphasizing the importance of frisking along with outlining tl.e frisking requirement.
Additionally, the frisking policy was revised to allow personnel to keep their hard hats on when entering the PCM-1 Monitor.
This eliminates the need to separately frisk hard hats.
