ENCLOSURE 1 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 IE INSPECTION REPORTS 50-324/81-16 AND 50-325/81-16 SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION IE Inspection Repor*s 50-324/81-16 and 50-325/81-16 identified three items that appear to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements.
Carolina Power & Light Company's response to Violation C is addressed in the following text:
Violation C: (Severity Level IV)
Technical Specification 6.3.1 requires that each member of the facility staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualification of ANSI N18.1-1971 for comparable positions. Paragraph 4.5.2 of ANSI N18.1-1971 states, in part, that technicians in responsible positions shall have a minimum of two years of working experience in their speciality.
Contrary to the above, a radiation control technician with less than two years experience was serving in a responsible position, in that on July 17, 1981, this individual with fourteen months experience and training, established radiation protection requirements for work concerning the Unit No. 2 Reactor Water Cleanup System filter "B" resin discharge valve without prior review of the requirements by a qualified technician or supervisor.
(Civil Penalty - $5,000)
Carolina Power & Light Company's Response:
Carolina Power & Light Company acknowledges that this was a violation of NRC requirements.
The cause for this violation was that the radiation control technician assumed responsibility for establishing radiation protection requirements for work when he was not qualified according to ANSI N18.1-1971 as required by Brunswick plant Technical Specifications.
This event was reviewed in detail with all radiation control technicians and the need to assure that radiation protection requirements are established by ANSI qualified technicians was emphasized.
The procedure for issuance of Radiation Work Permits (RWPs) is being revised to provide for approval 1cvels commensurate with radiation exposure levels and to provide more explicit guidance on suspending RWPs for reevaluation of radiological protection requirements when radiation exposure rates change significantly during the course of conducting work. This procedure
' change is expected to be completed by December 31, 1981.
