SUBJECT:
SIMILAR (REPEAT) SL-VIOLATION; NO ESCALATED ENFORCEMENT PROPOSED FACILITY:
ST. LUCIE INSPECTION REPORT NO.:
50-335, 50-389/96-09 During an inspection conducted at the St. Lucie site, during the period of February 25 through March 1,1995, F. Wright identified a procedural violation concerning the control of contaminated tools.
Independent surveys made by the inspector in the licensee's hot tool room identified a few hand tools that were slightly above the licensee's limit for loose contamination on tools utilized in the RCA.
The tools were only slightly above the 1,000 dpm/100 cm2 limits for loose contamination. The licensee did not have good control of tools entering and exiting the hot tool room.
The licensee assigned a worker to the hot tool room for coverage on part of the day shift and stated the room would be locked when unattended.
This appeared to be an acceptable level of corrective action and the decision was made to identify the issue as a NCV.
The following was considered in the decision to identify the issue as a NCV.
o There were only 4 or 5 tools found contaminated;
.o The contamination levels were low (less than 2,000 dpm/100 cm2 vs the 1,000 dpm/100 cm' limit for loose contamination); and o
No contaminated material was found outside the RCA During the most recent radiation protection inspection at St. Lucie the inspector found that the licensee had spent'approximately 278 hours0.00322 days <br />0.0772 hours <br />4.596561e-4 weeks <br />1.05779e-4 months <br /> surveying tool rooms just prior to or during the first few days of the inspection (June 17-21, 1996).
This special effort was made to find and remove any contaminated tools the NRC inspector might find during his independent surveys.
The thoroughness of the licensee's tool room surveys was not typical total effort for surveying tool rooms in any given month.
The licensee's surveys found numerous contaminated tools in the clean tool room located outside the RCA and numerous contaminated tools located in the RCA tool rooms having loose contamination in excess of the licensee's contamination limits.

Albert Gibson 2
A decision was made to use the licensee's findings in SL IV Violation as the licensee did not have adequate controls for contaminated tools and numerous examples were identified.
i Since the first violation indicated only minor problems the licensee did not make any program changes other than to lock the hot tool room when unattended.
Considering the inspectors findings, this appeared acceptable corrective 2
action at the time.
However, this corrective action would not have any impact i
on the controls for tools entering the clean tool room or the temporary tool 4
rooms established during outages, where many of the contaminated tools were recently found in June 1996 surveys.
I While the violations were similar in that they involved inadequate control of contaminated tools they were also not similar in that the problem was not i
limited to one tool room as initially believed when the NCY was identified.
i The scope of the problem increased with contaminated tools found outside the 1
RCA. We did not expect the licensee to do much corrective action with the inspectors findings in February of 1996.
The licensee's corrective actions would not have prevented some of the violations identified in June 1996.
Therefore, upon our review we do not. recommend that the recent violations identified at St. Lucie in June 1996, be paneled for enforcement conference or escalated enforcement.
