ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power and Light Company Docket Nos. 50-325, 50-324 Brunswick 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-71, DPR-62 During an NRC inspection conducted on June 1-4, 1993, violations of NRC requirements were identified.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," the violations are listed below:

A.

Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1, requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities in the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972. Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Section 7.e.(1), requires procedures for Access Controls to Radiation Areas Including a Radiation Work Permit System.

Environmental and Radiation Control Procedure, 0-E&RC-0352, Use of the ALNOR Dosimetry System, Revision 2, dated May 1, 1992, Step 10.3.2.3, states that the Radiation Control staff is responsible for assigning use of alarming dosimeters only when the work environment is suitable for their use and when the users have been instructed in proper use of the dosimeters and can be trusted to use the dosimeters as instructed.

Contrary to the above, on May 17, 1993, an auxiliary operator, not a member of the radiation control staff assigned an alarming dosimeter to another individual for use in accessing posted high radiation areas.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).

B.

10 CFR 19.12, Instruction to Workers, states, in part, that all individuals working in or frequenting any portion of a restricted area shall be kept informed of radiation in such portions of the restricted area, and in precautions and procedures to minimize exposure, and in the purposes and functions of protective devices employed.

Contrary to the above, on May 17, 1993, operations personnel were not adequately informed of the purposes and functions of the digital alarming dosimeter, a protective device employed to minimize exposure.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power and Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
