ENCLOSURE Description of Violations and Safety Items Jersey. Central Power and Light Campany Madison Avenue at Funehbowl Road Morristown, New Jersey License No.~DFR-16 Certain activities under your license appear to be in violation of j
AEC requirements. These apparent violations are considered to be j
of Category II severity:
1 1.
10 CFR 20.201, " Surveys', requires that such surveys be l
conducted as are necessary to comply with 20.103, " Exposure of individuals to concentrations of radioactive material in restricted areas".
g Contrary to this requirement, you failed to conduct adequate I
evaluations of the concentrations of airborne radioactive materials in the waste barrel storage areas.
1 l
You did make surveys that were intended to achieve this objective but these surveys were not performed under a
}
sufficient variety of operational conditions to establish a valid measure of the exposure incurred by individuals working i
in this area.
2.
10 CFR 20,201(b) " Surveys", requires you to make such surveys j
as may be necessary to comply with the regulations in 10 CFR 20.
One of these regulations,10 CFR 20.101(2), " Exposure of individuals to radiation in restricted areas", establishes the 5
quarterly limit for dose to the hands.
l Contrary to this requirement, you failed to conduct adequate evaluations of the hand exposure incurred by a technician assigned to aske contamination surveys on waste barrels.

l Certain activities under your license appear to raise questions con-
)
.cerning the safety of operations as indicated below:
1.
The National Cassaittee on Radiation Protection, in its Report No. 30 (National Bureau of Standards, Handbook 92), ree w ds
]' '
that "No edibles of any kind - food, gun, candy, beverages - shall I
be brought into contaminated areas or areas that may become con-taminated between radiation control surveys" (see section 3.4,
" Personal Cleanliness", page 18).
j Contrary to the above, our inspector found coffee and doughnuta in the trailer used as a change area for the re-moval of contaminated protective clothing.
I 1
j 2.
The National Committee on Radiation Protection in Section 3.4 of NCRP Report No. 30 (NBS Handbook 92), provides the following guidance for the safe handling of radioactive material:
"Per-sonnel should keep their work areas free from equipment and I
materials not needed for the insediate work. Orderliness is a I
prime requirement for eliminating the spread of contamination.
Af ter use, equipment should be decontaminated or stored in a controlled location".
4 I
A Contrary to the above, accumulations of trash and piles of j
loose powdered chemicals from burst containers were present on the floor in.Le waste barrel storage area.
3.
The expenditure of every reasonable effort to maintain the lowest i
s practicable levels of exposure of individuals to radiation and l
to radioactive contamination is a precept of radiation safety 1
which is universally accepted and supported, in principle, in 10 CFR 20.1(c), "Furpose".
l i
j Contrary to the above, your management control over the waste 4
barrel removal operations was inadequate to assure the lowest practicable levels of exposure to individuals involved.
