NOTICE OF VIOLATION Iowa Electric Light and Power Company Docket No. 50-331 Duane Arnold Energy Center License No. DPR-49 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 9 through 13, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

Contrary to the above, on July 28, 1993, two individuals entered a posted high radiation area in the torus room without being provided a radiation monitoring device which continuously indicated the radiation dose rate in the area, a radiation monitoring device which continuously integrated the dose rate in the area and would alarm when a preset integrated dose was received, or direct observation by health physics qualified individual.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
