SUBJECT: JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

DOCKET NO. 50-333

INSPECTION NO. 85-06

Gentlemen:

In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 2 Appendix C, we are

submitting our response to Appendix A Notice of Violation trans-

mitted by your letter dated May 10, 1985, as received by the

undersigned on May 16, 1985. This refers to the inspection

conducted by Ms. M. Miller of your office on March 18 through

22, 1985, at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.

RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION

A. The Power Authority agrees with this finding: .

The fundamental cause of this violation was an oversight of

individuals dressing for entry into the drywell whereby

they honestly forgot to transfer their dosimetry from per-

sonal clothes to protective clothing.

The immediate corrective action was to alert radiation

l protection personnel assigned to drywell work control to be

l aware of such occurrences and be on the lookout for possi-

I ble recurrences.

i

The permanent corrective action is to issue written in-

structions to personnel monitoring the drywell access

l

point (s) regarding admitting personnel into the drywell.

At a minimum, these instructions will include verification

'

of proper protective clothing, dosimetry, and authoriza-

l tion. These instructions will be prepared for issue and

l implementation by August 31, 1985.

B. The Power Authority agrees with this finding:

The fundamental cause of this violation is a misinterpreta-

tion of " Intermittent Monitoring" which nearly all RWP's

written for drywell work indicated as required. A Senior

R & E Technician and other radiation protection technicians

assigned to the drywell frequently made tours of the dry-

well to verify radiological safety and compliance. They

felt that this satisfied the requirement of intermittent

monitoring even though most RWP's did not specify an exact

time for remonitoring or in fact may not have required

remonitoring. <

The permanent corrective action will be to provide proce-

dural guidance to radiation protection technicians which

specifies requirements for intermittent monitoring. This

will be accomplished by August 31, 1985.

to Thomas T. Martin JAFP-85-0474 Dated

May 30, 1985 Re: Inspection No. 50-333/85-06

The following information supplements and clarifies the Authority's response

[ Reference (2)] to the subject inspection [ Reference (1)l:

Item B. Add immediate corrective action:

RESPONSE: The immediate corrective action was to provide guidance

to the radiation protection technicians on intermittent

monitoring requirements. This was accomplished via memo

JRES-85-116 dated April 29, 1985.

Item E Revise permanent corrective action, reword second paragraph:

RESPONSE: The permanent corrective action will be to provide procedural

guidance to radiation protection technicians concerning re-

quirements for intermittent monitoring. Intermittent moni-

toring will normally depend on the progress of work rather

than specific time intervals, particularly where the progress

of work could result in a change in radiological conditions.

Where warranted, specific monitoring frequencies will be

sp fled. This will be accomplished by August 31, 1985.
