Oak Ridge, Tennessee During an investigation conducted on behalf of the Public Service Company of Colorado, and subsequently confirmed by inve::tigations conducted by the NRC's Office of Investigations, violations of NRC requirements were identifie In accordance with the General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcemer.t Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are set forth below:

Contrary to the above, in February, March, and September 1993, employees of SEG, a contractor to a licensee (Public Service Company of Colorado),

submitted 35 records of radiation surveys to the contractor that the employees knew were inaccurate in some respect material to the NR Specifically, during February and March, 1993, survey records which were required to support the release of material from the facility and work conducted under various radiation work permits contained false information regarding survey instrument usage and calibration dates. In September 1993, a survey record supporting release of the hot service facility plug was created to indicate that the survey had been completed when in fact it had not.
