l APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Boston Edison Company Docket No. 50-293 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-35 As a result of the inspection conducted on January 18, 1982 - February 28, 1982, and in accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified:

A.

10 CFR 19.12 requires that all individuals working in or frequenting any portion of a restricted area shall be kept informed of the storage, trans-fer, or use of radioactive materials or of radiation in such portions of the restricted area.

Station Procedure No. 6.1-022, "Radation Work Permit", Revision 8,Section II, requires that the latest radiological survey data be posted at the work area or with the RWP.Section VI.C.9.a requires that if it becomes necessary to change dress requirements or instructions, an RWP revision sheet shall be completed showing these changes.

Section VI.D.1 further requires that all persons who are to enter the work area be briefed by an HP representative on the physical and radiological conditions in the work area.

Contrary to the above, at about 8:20 a.m. on January 29, 1982, workers entering the Standby Gus Treatment Room (a restricted area) were not in-formed of the storage of about 100 gallons of dry radioactive spent resin.

The latest radiological survey performed at 11:00 p.m. on January 28, 1982 was not posted at the work area or with the pertinent RWP covering these workers; an RWP revision sheet was not completed showing necessary changes in dress requirements; and, the workers-were not briefed by an HP representa-tive on the actual physical and radiological conditions in the area.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV).

B.

Technical Specification 6.8.D requires that written procedures to imple-ment the Fire Protection Program be established, implemented and maintained.

Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Fire Protection Plan dated August 10, 1978,Section IV.6, specifies that the Fire Prevention and Protection Officer is responsible for inventory, inspection, and replacement of fire fighting equipment, and also requires that, after the use of this equipment during each exercise, drill, or fire emergency, that it be inspected, tested, and verified to ensure that it has been restored to its original function and capability.

Appendix A Station Procedure No. 6.7-108, Operating Instructions for Breathing Air Charging System, Revision 0, requires that air bottles for ten Self Con-tained Bruthing Apparatus (SCBA) units and twenty spares be fully charged in order to sustain ten men for six hours.

)

Contrary to the above, on January 28, 1982, written procedures to implement the Fire Protection Program were not established to assure an adequate in-ventory of fire protection equipment in that only 29 of the 30 required SCBA bottles were fully charged and only 7 of these 30 bottles had current hydrostatic test dates and could have been recharged. This was an in-sufficient number of rechargeable bottles to meet the 10 men for six hours self contained breathing requirements.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).
