REFERENCE:

Region II-Suite 3100 RII: RCL 101 Marietta Street, fM 50-321/50-366 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Inspection Report 82-11 ATTENTION: Mr. James P. O'Reilly Gentlemen:

The following information is submitted in response to Inspection Report 50-321/82-11 and 50-366/82-11 concerning the inspection of Plant Hatch conducted by Mr. L. A. Franklin of your office on March 29 through April 2, 1982.

VIOLATION:

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written precedures be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix "A" states in part that radiation protection procedures should be provided. Procedure HNP-8005, Revision 12,Section I, Radiation Occurrence Report, paragraph 1.(b)(2) requires action to be taken to ensure the reported event does not recur.

Contrary to the above, radiation protection procedures were not established, implemented and maintained in that the action designated to correct misuse of personnel dosimetry by an individual on November 3, 1981, was not performed. Specifically, the prescribed notification of all employees on Occurrence Report 81-19A was not performed.

RESPONSE

Admission or denial of alleged violation: The violation occurred.

Reason for the violation: The violation occurred as a result of a delay in the implementation of the recommended corrective action in the Radiation Occurrence Report.
