SUBJECT:

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-333 INSPECTION NO. 85-12 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 June 21, 1985, as received by the undersigned on June 28, 1985. This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. R. L. Nimitz of your office on April 22 through 26, 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 that plant workers did not thoroughly read RWP requirements and leadmen did not ensure that their work crews comply with each and every aspect. .

Immediate Corrective Action:

On April 25, 1985 a memo was distributed to plant workers reminding them of their responsibility for complying with RWP requirements and Radiation Protection Procedures in general. This memo (JSOP-85-037) also reminded RES super-visory and technical personnel of their responsibility for verifying worker RWP compliance. The ALARA Supervisor was counseled on the importance of obtaining ALARA review signatures in a timely manner. It should be noted that this is an isolated incident in that 71 ALARA reviews have been completed or are in progress and only one was found lacking a required review signature.

Permanent Corrective Action:

Work aractice guides are being developed to provide RES techn:. cal personnel with formal guidance when monitoring more radiologically significant work activities. Among work practice guides under development is one which con-trols work on the refuel floor (equipment storage pit, reactor cavity and spent fuel pool). This guide will 5

B. The Power Authority agrees with this finding:

The fuadamental cause of this violation was an inadvertent omission in the RES department procedures specifying instructions for issue of MR keys.

Immediate Corrective Action:

On April 25, 1985 a memo (JSOP-85-038) was forwarded to the Security / Safety and Fire Protection Superintendent request-ing that MR keys not be issued to anyone without a Key Rec uest form signed by the Superintendent of Power and the Rac.iological and Environmental Services Superintendent. On April 23, 1985 the key logbook located in the Shift Super-visor's office was audited and the missing key recovered.

In addition, the Operations Department Standing Order Number 19 (ODS0-19) was revised to require logging of a person's security badge number when given a key . This was done to facilitate key recovery. A copy of ODS0-19 was placed in the key control logbook. Revised operations procedures are listed in the department night orders for review by Operations Department personnel.

Permanent Corrective Action:

Compliance on an interim basis was achieved as indicated in the Immediate Corrective Action above. However, a detailed procedure for control and issue of MR keys will be included in the Radiation Protection Manual which is currently under development.
