Box 480 Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057 Gentlemen: Subject: Inspection 50-320/36-07 This letter and attached inspection report presents the findings of a special inspection conducted by site inspectors of this office on June 16 to June 30, ' 1986 of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-73. The findings were
i discussed with fir. T. Demmitt of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection on July 2, 1986. Areas examined during this inspection were the conduct of the defueling operations and radiological controls as a result of handling small pieces of - debris from the reactor core bed and in the handling of tools or other items when being removed from the reactor vessel. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and records, , interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector in connection with the circumstances surrounding handling of small pieces of debris and tools removed from the reactor. It appears that two of your activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the flotice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. These violations have been categorized by Severity Level in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) published in the Federal Register (49 FR 8583), dated March 8,1984. You are required to respond to this letter and in preparing your response, you should follow the instructions in Appendix A. i During the review of the events on June 21, 1986, we identified several errors which indicate a management breakdown in control of your defueling activities. Specifically, a supervisor directed persons working in the reactor building to , take actions without first confirming conditions in the building; supervisors and workers had not read applicable Radiation Work Pemits and were not aware of all requirements; there was evidence of inadequate communications between supervisors; and some supervisors were not attending pre-shift briefings.
