Georgia Power Company Docket Nos. 50-321 and 50-366 Hatch License Nos. DPR-57 and NPF-5 i
During an NRC inspection conducted on August 8-13, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification (TS) 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel i
radiation protection be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and be approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel-radiation exposure.
Administrative Control Procedure, 60AC-HPX-004-0S, Radiation and Contamination Control, Revision 11, dated July 7, 1992, Step 8.1.4.1 defines a Very High Radiation Area as an area which could be made accessible to an individual and in which potential radiological conditions could increase very rapidly resulting in an individual receiving an acute overexposure, exceeding Administrative and/or Federal limits. Step 8.1.4.2 states that Very High Radiation Areas shall be locked and conspicuously posted with a sign unique to the type area.
I Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to lock an access point to the Unit 1 Transversing Incore Probe (TIP) room, a posted Very High Radiation Area.
Specifically, a permanently installed ladder was located in an opening on the roof of the TIP room which provided access from the roof area into the TIP room.
Further, on August 9, 1993, during facility tours, the inspector observed a step ladder adjacent to the exterior of the TIP room which facilitated personnel access to the TIP room roof area, and, therefore, to the roof opening and the unlocked permanent ladder.
This is a Severity Level IV violaiton (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Georgia Power Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 3
