APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Florida Power Corporation Docket No. 50-302 Crystal River 3 License No. DPR-72 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 16-19, 1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9, 1982), the following violation was identified.
s Technical Specification 6.8 requires written procedures to be established, implemented, and maintained for activities recommended in Appendix "A" of the Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972.
Section G of Appendix "A" describes Procedures for Control of Radioactivity (for limiting materials released to the environment and limiting personnel exposure).
1.
Chemistry and Radiation _ Protection Procedure RP-202, " Radiological Surveys", paragraph 2.1 notes that routine radiological surveys are normally performe'd at a given frequency. A cardex file in the Health Physics Operations offices is used to denote specific routine survey frequencies and requires that all operating AMS-2 continuous air monitors have their filters changed weekly.
Contrary to the above, the AMS-2 located in the Radiochemistry labora-tory was fcuno to have had its filter changed on 3-15-82 and 2-22-82, an elcpsed time of greater than the one week required by the procedure.
2.
Chemistry and Radiation Protection procedure RP-101, Radiation Protec-tion Manual, section 6.3, Sealed sources, requires all licensee's sealed sources, such as calibration sources, to be leak tested at six month intervals.
Contrary to the above, the leak test performed in January, 1982, on source #55, a.03 uCi Pu239 calibration source, was ' counted on an instrument accurate for beta or gamma detection only. Pu239 requires counting on alpha sensitive radiation detectors.
3.
Chemistry and Radiation Protection Procedure RP-217, Radioactive Material tagging, section 1.2, states that Radioactive Material that is to be retained for storage shall be placed in a red plastic bag and that Chem-Rad be contacted immediately for tagging.
Contrary to the above, on 3-16-82, the inspector noted numerous items had been placed in a mechanic's laydown area on the auxiliary building 143' elevation and were not bagged and Chem-Rad had not been contacted.
The items were subsequently found to be radioactively contaminated.

RP-217, Section 2.2.1, states that the Chem-Rad Section will affix a
" Radioactive Material" tag to the container or survey the container and mark as required.
Contrary to the above:
a.
On 3-16-82, an unmarked and untagged box containing noncompres-sable radioactive waste was found by the inspector on the Auxil-iary building 119' elevation near the drumming area.
b.
On 3-16-82, a drum from Southern Space, marked H-9, containing a laundered bubble hoods comprising a total of.007 millicuries of radioactivity according to a shipping manifest found inside the drum had not been properly surveyed. Subsequent survey revealed the contents to be less than plant unconditional release limits.
c.
On 3-16-82, the inspector observed two drums being removed from the 119' elevation containment airlock area, containing radioac-tively contaminated items, being handled by radiation workers in the presence of a Chem-Rad Technician bore no marking tag, nor had the required survey been performed.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) admission or denial of the alleged viola-tions; (2) the reasons for the violations if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (4) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
