i A. Technical Specification Section 6.13 "High Radiation Area", specifies as a condition for entry into a high radiation area the use of a radiation dose rate instrument, an integrating alarming dosimeter, or positive exposure control by a health physics qualified individual.

Contrary to the above, on October 13, 1987, four workers entered the drywell, classified as a locked high radiation area, without a dose rate instrument, an integrating alarming dosimeter, or positive exposure control  !

by a health physics qualified individual, t This is a Severity Level IV violation.

B. Technical Specification Section 6.13, "High Radiation Area", requires that access to locked high radiation areas be maintained under the administrative control of operations and/or radiation protection supervision on duty. .

.l Contrary to the above, on October 13, 1987, access to the drywell, which is classified as a locked high radiation area, was under the sole control of a security guard without clear assignment of responsibilities as to the control of high radiation area access. As a result, four workers entered the drywell on October 13, 1987, without being subject to positive control beyond verification that their names were on the drywell access list.

This is a Severity level IV violation.

C. Technical Specification 6.11. "Radiation Protection Program", requires, in

part, that procedures for personnel radiation protection be prepared and c adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure, i 1

On October 13, 1987, four workers entered the drywell on the same RWP without a survey instrument or alarming dosimeter, as required by the RWP, and without thigh dosimetry or a breathing zone air sampler, both also required by the RWP.

This is a Severity Level IV violation.

j Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, GPU Nuclear Corporation is hereby l

required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, l including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
