ENCLOSURE 1 l
Georgia Institute of Technology Docket No. 50-160 Atlanta, GA License No. R-97 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 12-14, 1990, a. violation of RC requirenents was identified.
In accor-
' dance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 20.203(c)(2) requires that each entrance or access point to a high radiation area shall be:
(1) Equipped with a control device which shall cause the level of radiation to be reduced below that at which an individual might receive a dose of 100 millirem in I hour upon entry into the area; or (ii) Equipped with a control device which shall energize a conspicuous visible or audible alarm signal in such a manner that the individual entering the high. radiation area and the licensee or a supervisor of the activity are made aware - of the entry; or (iii) Maintained locked except during periods when access to the area is required, with positive control over each int;vidual entry.
Contrary to the above, on June 13, 1990, two graphite stringers, which were found to have a radiation level reading of 200 millirem per hour, were located in a posted high radiation area which was not equipped with a control device to reduce the radiation level below 100 millirem in one hour, nor equipped with a device that energized a conspicuous visible or audible alarm signal, nor maintained locked.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Institute of Technology is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,. ATTN:
Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555,
.with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.
