REVISED RESPONSE - NCR-0IE INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/85-17 AND 50-328/85-17 ROGER D. WALKER'S LETTER TO H. G. PARRIS
' DATED JULY 30, 1985
' Violation 50-327/85-17-02 Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radia-tion protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure. These requirements are implemented by procedure RCI-1, " Radiological Hygiene Program," which requires each employee to adhere to Health Physics procedures and protective measures.
One protective measure, Radiation Work Permit (RWP) 1-85-105, required a canvas hood be worn in addition to other protective clothing while con-ducting activities in the Unit I containment radiation area.
Contrary to the above, RWP 1-85-105 requirements were not implemented in that an individual was observed conducting activities in the Unit I con-tainment without the prescribed canvas hood.
