Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/92-32 AND 50-324/92-32
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
E. D. Testa on September 23-28 and October 26-30, 1992. The inspection
included a review of activities authorized for your Brunswick facility.
At
the conclusion of the inspection and by telephone conference call on
November 12, 1992, the findings were discussed with those members of your
staff identified in the enclosed Inspection Report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
' Based on the results of these inspections, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The violation is of concern because although the viola-
tion itself did not result in an immediate safety hazard to workers, it
appears to indicate a lack of attention to detail for radiation protection
activities.
In particular, the failure to follow radiation control procedures
could result in inpin ned personnel exposures.
.;
You are required te o spond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the et osed Notice when preparing your response,
in your
response, you should document the specific actions taken.and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspecticas,-the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure ;ompliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In addition, two apparent violations were identified and are being considered
for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the " General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy),
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C'(57 FR 5791, February 18,1992).
Accordingly, no
Notice of Violation is presently being issued for these inspection findings.
