ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Mississippi Power and Light Company Docket No. 50-416 Grand Gulf License No. NPF-29 The following violation was identified during an inspection conducted on July 8-12, 1985. The Severity Level was assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).

10 CFR 20.201(b)(2) required the licensee to make or cause to be made such surveys as may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations in this part and are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present.

10 CFR 20.201(a) defines survey as an evaluation of the radiation hazards incident to the production, i

use, release, disposal or presence of radioactive materials under a specific set of ' conditions.

10 CFR 20.103(a)(3) required the licensee to use suitable measurements of concentrations of radioactive materials in air for detecting and evaluating airborne radioactivity in restricted areas.

10 CFR 20.401(b) required that each licensee maintain records showing the results of surveys required by 10 CFR 20.201(b).

a.

air samples collected on June 21, 1985, were not analyzed to determine the concentration of airborne radioactivity in the transverse incore probe drive area prior to permitting individuals to work in the area; b.

the licensee failed to document beta radiation surveys performed inside the "E" TIP drive box on June 21, 1985, to demonstrate compliance with licensee administrative controls and NRC exposure limits; and c.
