ATTACHMFNT A Response to Notico of Violation Appendix A VIOLATION 10 CFR 20 203(c)(2)(iii) requires, in part, that (1) positive control be provided when access is required to a high radiation area (more than 100 millirem in one hour could be received by a major portion of the body),
or (2) the area be locked.
Contrary to the above, at about 3:00 PM, on January 31, 1984, an open equipment hatch access to the Unit I vapor container, a high radiation area with up to 2,500 millirem per hour exposure to major portions of the body, was neither under positive control nor locked.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
RESPONSE
[
In immediate response,to the above violation, the guard assignad to the post in question was recalled to his post and instructed not to leave unless properly relieved or dismissed by the Radiation Protection Supervisor or Nuclear Plant Operator (NPO).
In a review of the circumstances that led to this event we found that the
- guard used a phone near the post to contact the Np0 for relief.
TN location of the phone did not allow the guard to maintain positive 4-f control of the equipment hatch in question.
To prevent such an occurrence in the future, post order guidelines have been revised to require that notifications of this nature be made by radio.
In addition, security guards assigned to any high radiation door will receive specific written post instructions from the Radiation Protection Supervisor, approved by the Security Ohift Supervisor.
This 1
will be accomplished by including them in the appropriate security post order book. This will be implemented by May 14, 1904.
