SUBJECT:
CONTESTED NONCOMPLIANCE - BIG ROCK POINT (AITS F03112180)
Vour memo of August 21,1980, requested guidance on how to proceed with a contested item of noncompliance which was issued to Big Rock' Point.
The item of noncom-pliance was failure to provide an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures on bAck shift in accordance with Technical Specification requirements.
The licensee contends that the " criteria for individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures" contained in 00R's letter of 1977 were not made a part of the license either by license amendment or licensee commitment and, there ~
fore, the citation is not valid.
The NRC provides information for the purpose of clarifying the specific meaning and intent-of regulatory requirements by numerous means; some examples are Statements of Consideration, Regulatory Guides, NUREG documents, Bulletins, Circulars, Branch Technical Positions, and Generic Letters.
These documents do not establish regulatory requirements, but simply clarify the meaning and inter.t of existing requirements or denote acceptable methods of implementing the regulatory requirements.
Consumers Power Company acknowledges receipt of the clarifying _infon:gg; ion provided in the letter from Ziemann to Bixel dated March 15, 1977 and did not
_ propose or' receive ' proval for implementing an alternative means oftcomplyinc__
a
. iti'UIe subject tecinical specification.
Based on these facts, we concluoe w
that the Titation in question was valid and proper._
