J0V 1 L ISE j Docket No. 50-333
Mr. Harry P. Salmon, Jr. ! Resident Manager i New York Power Authority James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant ! Post Office Box 41 Lycoming, New York 13093 , Dear Mr. Salmon: . Subject: NRC Inspection No. 50-333/93-27 '{ An announced safety inspection of the radiation protection program at your facility was f I conducted by Mr. J. Furia of this office on November 1-5, 1993. The inspection findings l were discussed with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection on November 5,1993. Areas examined during this inspection are important to health and safety and included radiation protection during a maintenance outage and are described in the NRC Region I i Inspection Report enclosed with this letter. Within the areas reviewed, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
. Generally good performance in the areas of maintaining occupational exposure as low as
reasonably achievable (ALARA) and in the control of work in radiologically controlled areas
was observed. One violation and several minor weaknesses were also identified, which were ! promptly resolved by your staff. Due to the low safety significance of the violation and .
your prompt action to correct it, the violation is not being cited, in accordance with Section VII.B of the NRC Enforcement Policy,10 CFR 2, Appendix C. One of the weaknesses l l relates to an issue previously identified by the NRC involving the sometimes inappropriate ! activation of flashing lights used to alert workers to high radiation areas. This matter, which - ! l is discussed in Section 2.2 of the enclosed inspection report, deserves your attention.
