NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation Docket No. 50-271 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-28 EA 85-105 An NRC special safety inspection was conducted on August 9, 1985 to review the circumstances associated with an unplanned occupational ra11ation exposure of approximately 1.3 rem to the whole-body of a Chemistry-HP Technician performing a survey in the Traversing Incore Probe room. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposes to impose a civil penalty pursuant to Section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
("Act"), 42 U.S.C. 2282, PL 96-295 and 10 CFR 2.205. The violation and associated civil penalty are set forth below:
10 CFR 19.12 requires that all individuals working in or frequenting any portion of a restricted area shall be kept informed of the storage, trans-fer, or use of radioactive materials or of radiation and shall be instruc-ted in the health protection problems associated with exposure to such radiation and in precautions or procedures to minimize exposure.
Conti .ry to the above, on August 8,1985, a Chemistry-HP Technician (technician) was given approval by HP supervision to enter a restricted area (the TIP room area where radiation levels of 1000 R/hr or higher existed) to perform surveys where there was a known potential for unusually high exposure rates, and the technician was not instructed by HP supervision in precautions to take and procedures to fellow to minimize exposure.
The technician was not instructed as to the location to make an initial exposure rate measurement and a level at which to terminate the survey or provided appropriate alternative instructions.
This is a Severity Level III violation (Supplement IV)
Civil Penalty - 550,000.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation is hereby required to submit to the Director, Of fice of Inspection and Enforcement, USNRC, Washington, D.C. 20555, with a copy to this office, within 30 days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation, including for each alleged violation: (1) admission or denial of the alleged violation, (2) the reasons for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, the Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, may issue an order to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Consideration may be given to extending the response time for good cause shown.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 2232, the response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
