Dear Mr. Martin:
Your letter of February 16, 1982, forwarded Inspection Report 50-278/81-07 covering the period of February 23-25 and March 16-18, 1981.

9 Mr. Thomas T.
Martin, Director Page 2 PE SPON SE This violation is the result of an individual personnel error.
On February 23, 1981, an electrician was working on an energized electrical compartment.
To decrease the hazard of electrical shock, the worker removed his jacket with the personnel dosimetry attached and placed it nearby on the floor adjacent to the compartment.
Al though the worker 's personnel dosimetry was not attached to his body, he was not working in a radiation area.
The dose rates in the area where the compurtment was located were known to be less than 2 mr/hr.
Contamination and airborne radioactivity levels were such that the area did not require radiological controls.
Upon noti fication, the individual replaced the dosimetry on the trunk of his body.
The individual's supervisor was notified and the individual was counseled on the importance of wearing personnel dosimetry.
Addi tional l y, similar personnel were instructed to wear personnel dosimetry at all times.
These actions should prevent recurrence.
Very truly yours,
