APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION 50-277 Philadelphia Electric Company Docket Nos. 50-278 DPR-44 Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station License Nos. DPR-56 As a result of the inspection conducted on May 30, 1985, by a represen-tative of the State of Washington Department of Social and Health Services of a shipment of radioactive waste sent from your facility in Delta, Pennsylvania on May 20, 1985, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, published in the Federal Register on March 8,1984 (49 FR 8583), the following violation was identified:

10 CFR 71.5 prohibits delivery of licensed material to a carrier for transport unless the licensee complies with applicable regu-lations of the Department of Transportation in 49 CFR Parts 170-189.

49 CFR 173.425(b)(1) requires shipments of low-specific activity materials be packaged in strong, tight packages so that there will be no leakage of radioactive material under conditions normally incident to transportation.

Contrary to the above, on May 30, 1985, a drum containing low specific activity shipped by the licensee was received at Richland, Washington and was not packaged in a strong, tight package.

Specifically, licensee's drum No. S-146-85 was found to have a hole in it.

This is a Severity Level III violation (Supplement V).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the Philadelphia Electric Company is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
