Gentlemen:
Subject:
Inspection Report No. 50-333/85-12
A routine radiological safety inspection was conducted by Mr. R. L. Nimitz of
this office on April 22-26, 1985 of your James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power
Plant. The_ findings of this inspection were discussed with you at the con-
clusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection
report. The inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel, measurements made by the
inspector, and observations by the inspector.
Two violations of NRC requirements were identified in the radiological controls
area.
First, personnel were not found to be adhering to radiological controls
program procedures and second, the program for high radiation area access
control was not being fully implemented.
We acknowledge that timely correction action was taken to address the immediate
concerns associated with these problems. We also acknowledge that some of the
instances of failure to adhere to procedures were minor in nature. However, we
are concerned about the adequacy of radiological controls for reactor cavity
work. The number of instances of failure to adhere to radiological procedures
for the cavity work indicate an apparent lack of supervisory oversight of this
work. We are particularly concerned that material was removed from the cavity
and appropriate radiation surveys were not made of the material prior to its
handling by personnel.
Please reply to these matters in accordance with the
enclosed Appendix A, addressing the action taken or planned to improve per-
sonnel adherence to procedures, and supervisory oversight of work. The reply
is not subject to clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
