"h' ATTACHMENT 1 NRC Notice of Violation As a result of the inspection conducted on March 10-14, 1986, and in acconiance with the " General Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part i, Appendix C (1985), the follouing violation was identified:

Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedure for personnel radiation protection be prepared consistent uith the requirenanta of 10 CFR 20 and shall be approved, maintained, and adhered to.

Procedure HSP-02.6, Section 5.9, requires that beta dose equivalent rates be determined along uith gama dose equivalent rates if piping or components of systems are opened, drained, or in areas where surface contantination in excess of 500,000 dpm/ft2 emearable is evident or expected.

Contn1ry to the above, beta dose equivalent rates vere not determined or known while workers performed tasks in the reactor head cavity area where amearable 2

contamination levels on the cavity valls vert up to 7,000,000 dpm/ft.

This is a Severity E,evel IV violation (Supplement IV).

DPC Response The importance of determining beta dose equivalent rates has been re-addressed to the Health Physics Technicians. Beta surveys will be performed as per HSP-02.6, Section 5.9, in the future. Special Work Permits (SWP) covering work on open contaminated systems conponents will include the requirements for a beta dose equivalent rate determination in the special requirements section.
