License: DPR-46
.
During an NRC inspection con'ucted on September 30 through October 4, 1985,
~
d
-
i
three violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the
i.
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR 4
-
. Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below:
A.
Waste Gas Radioactivity Monitor Calibrations
,
}
~
Environmental Technical Specification 3.4.3.a.8 requires that "All waste
{
. gas monitors shall be calibrated at least quarterly by means of a known
radioactive source."
i-
i
'
Contrary to the above:
The following gaseous radiation monitors were not calibrated on a
'
,
quarterly frequency:
.
[
1.
Radwaste building ventilation monitor was not calibrated with a known
radioactive source between the period January 7 through
!
~ July 10, 1985.
j
2.
The elevated release point (ERP) ventilation monitor was not
calibrated with a known radioactive source between the periods
i
February 22 through July 26, 1984, and January 8 through July 9, 1985.
3.
Turbine building ventilation monitor was not calibrated with a known
radioactive source between the period May 4 through October 16, 1984.
.
- -
4.
Reactor building ventilation monitor (primary containment) was not-
calibrated with a known radioactive source in 1984 prior to
July 27, 1984, and between th'e period October 17, 1984, through
i
,
'
1
April 9, 1985.
,
5.
The ERP-GE "A"-and "B"' monitors'were not calibrated wit'h.a known
radioactive source between1the period October 3, 1984,'through
}
March 18, 1985.
!
6.
Steam jet air ejector radiation monitor was not calibrated with a
known radioactive source between the period August 28, 1984, through
July 23, 1985.
7.
The control room ventilation monitors RMV-1A, 1B, and 1C were not
calibrated with a known radioactive source between the period
November 29, 1984, through March 25, 1985.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV)(298/8526-01).

B.
Maintenance and Test Procedure Compliance
.
Technical Specification 6.3.3 requires that maintenance and test
procedures be provided to satisfy routine inspection, preventative
maintenance programs, and operating license requirements.
Station
instrument and control (I&C) Procedure 7.5.2.6,Section VI.C requires that
health physics be contacted prior to performing work in the Traversing
Incore Probe (TIP) enclosure.
Contrary to the above, on. August 28, 1985, two individuals from the I&C
department' entered the TIP enclosure to perform work without contacting
,
health physics.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV)(298/8526-02).
C.
Radiation Protection Procedure Compliance
Technical Specification 6.3.4 requires that radiation control procedures
be maintained consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.
Station.
>
Health Physics Procedure 9.1.1.4 requires a raecial work permit for all
jobs which may involve work in the presence of high radiation, in areas in
which high levels of radioactive contamination exists, in areas of
hazardous airborne radioactivity concentrations, or work involving
industrial safety hazards.
Contrary to the above, on August 28, 1985, two individuals entered the TIP
enclosure and performrd work in a.high radiation area and in high airborne
radioactivity concentrations without the issuance of~a special work
permit.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV)(298/8526-03).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Nebraska Public Power District is
hereby required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the
.
letter-transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply,
including for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violations if admitted,
(2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved,
(3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and
-
(4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Where good cause is shown,
consideration will be given to extending the response time.
