lHsconsm Ekchc rowca couraur 231 W. MICHIGAN, P.O. BOX 2046, MILWAUKEE, WI 53201 November 29, 1982 Mr. J. G. Keppler, Regional Administrator Office of Inspection and Enforcement, Region III U.
S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137
Dear Mr. Keppler:
DOCKET NOS. 50-266 AND 50-301 REPLY TO INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-266/82-12 (DETP) AND 50-301/82-12 (DETP)
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 This is in completion of our response, initiated on October 15, 1982, to your letter of September 15, 1982, which transmitted the special safety inspection conducted on May 3-4 and June 15, 1982 by Messrs. P. C. Lovendale and R. L. Hague.
At the time of our October 15, 1982 response, additional time was requested to adequately reply to the question of the control of areas within containment where the radiation levels exceed 1000 mrem /hr.
Prior to our October 15, 1982 response, we realized there were inadequacies in our Technical Specification 15.6.11,
" Radiation Protection Program".
These inadequacies were resolved in our submittal of Technical Specification Change Request No. 84 which, after several discussions with various members of the NRC staff, has been approved.
Among other changes, this revised Technical Specification now requires that "for individual areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose in excess of 1000 mrem, that are located within large areas, including containment, where no enclosures exist for purposes of locking, and no enclosures can be reasonably constructed around the individual areas, then that area shall be roped off, conspicuously posted, and a flashing light shall be used as a warning device".
These revised Technical Specifications were implemented on November 19, 1982 and described to the plant staff via a health physics standing order on that date. 8212100223 821207 PDR ADOCK 05000266 G
e Mr. J. G. Keppler November 29, 1982 We believe that the above action, in concert with the plant staff's approval on November 18, 1982 of the modifications discussed in our October 15, 1982 response, brings to a conclusion our responses in this matter.
Should any further questions arise regarding these matters, please feel free to call us.
Very truly yours, i
Assistant V ce President C. W. Fay Copy to NRC Resident Inspector

Item k was considered, but in our-avle+,;, has little bearing on who was at fanit for the entry. On the one band, it demonstrates that the operator ecumitten numerous errors during this incidents on the other hand, it raises questions regarding the adequacy cf your training and auditing programs for ensuring procedural adherenee.
