Subject: Inspection Report No. 50-333/90-05

This letter transmits the results of the routine inspection conducted by Messrs. f;

W. Schmidt and R. Plasse of this of fice on July 1 through August 11, 1990 at the.-

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear . Power Plant, Scriba, New York. Mr. Schn.dt j

discussed the inspection findings with you and other members of your staf f at the  ;

'

conclusion of the inspection.

,

Your staff identified an instance in which, at different times on hourly fire

L watch patrols, nine security personnel entered e posted high radiation area

without following your radiation protection program for such entries. Your staf f

did a credible ' job -in identifying this violation and in taking corrective.

actions, and we considered not citing this violation based on the NRC's licensee'

identified violation' policy. However, as nine individuals, trained in your- ,

procedures, inappropriately entered the posted area, we have concluded that prior i

corrective actions regarding compliance with radiological control procedures were

not effective. Further, this incident represents another example of your

personnel being' insensitive to potentially adverse radiological consequences. ,

'In your response to this violation, please address this aspect of the incident. l

'

Your performance of the high pressure coolant injection to the vessel was a well

planned and executed initiative. The information you have developed is valuable

L for verification of continued satisf actory system performance. We encourage you .,

l to share this ~ information with the other BWRs through industry information j

P systems.

Sincerely, J
