Dear Mr. DeYoung:
The NRC Region II letter of March 13, 1984 transmitted a Notien of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty (EA-84-14). Carolina Pover & Light Company (CP&L) responded to the Notice of Violation in its letter, Serial NLS-84-196, of May 23 to you. Additional information is available which may be of use to you in evaluating our responsa. This lottor i
supplements our May 23 letter and providos further statement of facts concerning corrective steps which were taken subsequent to the incident.
On page 7 of our May 23 letter, correctivo steps woro enumerated.
Included among those steps were training sessions which "were conducted with Operations, HP, and management personnat discussing the specifics of the event and the necessity to ensure that all procedures are used and followed." This brief description may not have characterized fully the breadth of this training.
These training sessions were initiated immediately after the February 19, 1984 incident. Plant management developed a training instruction on February 22, 1984 and directed all sito managors and supervisors to:
a.
Review the training instruction content with all plant and contractor personnel under their supervinton who havn unescorted access to radiation areas.
h.
Upon their return to site, review the training instruction content with pornonnot not currently on site.

>+
Project, distributed the training instructions and conducted meetings with the
" site' managers and supervisors who supervised persons having unescorted access to radiation areas. Attachment 1 is a list of all persons who attended these meetings. The purpose of these meetings was for the Project Site Manager to review the incident, stress the importance and significance of the incident, and to reiterate. management's support and insistence upon strict adherence to procedures including those which govern work in radiation areas and radioactively contaminated areas.
The reviews requested of the site managers and supervisors were completed in accordance with the request of plant management. The reviews started promptly on February 22 a~nd by February 29, 1984 a total of 1,177 personnel of CP&L and its contractors received this supplement to their training. Specific documentation of the completion of this training identifying individuals
. trained is on' file at the H. B. Robinson Plant.
The training instruction in which personnel were trained included detailed description of the incident and a review of the requirements of procedures which control entry into high radiation and locked high radiation areas. It further extended the specific facts concerning this incident to identify other potential' high radiation or locked higin radiation areas of - the. plant.
Attention was directed toward the need for strict adherence to all plant procedures including those related to work in radiation areas.
In additior. to the training sessions, other actions were taken which were not fully. described in our May 23 letter. They. included:
a.
An investigation of the incident was performed ' by three individuals who are organizationally independent of the H. B. Robinson Project Department..'The resultslof this investigation were utilized-in formulation of other corrective steps described in.our May 23 letter.
b.
The General Employee Training (CET) was revised in response to the investigations performed into this incident..More explicit treatment was:given to the requirements'for radiological protection in high and locked high radiation areas.
c.
Additional interviews by CP&L. Radiological Control personnel are given to contract Senior Health Physics Technicians to verify their capabilities prior to.their surveilling work.
I Mr. Richtrd C. DsYoung Carolina Power & Light Company stressed in its May 23 letter that it had taken numerous actions to promptly investigate, evaluate, and correct the conditions which contributed to the February 19 incident. This supplementary information further supports the facts in this matter.
