l APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLAi.'ON Cintichem, Incorporated Docket No.70-687 Tuxedo, New York License No. SNM-639 As a result of the inspection conducted on February 10-14, 1986, and in accord-ance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:
A. Section 4.1.5, " Posting Requirements," of Part 1 (criteria) of your NRC-approved license application, dated July 16, 1984, states, in part, that the current inventory shall be posted in areas where SNM is used or stored.
Contrary to the above, on February 10, 1986, the current inventory was not posted on Feed Cabinet No. 4 in that the inventory log for the feed cabinet indicated that 319 grams of U-235 were stored in the cabinet, and the cabinet was empty.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement VI E)
- 8. Section 3.2.5.5, " Fire Protection," of Part 1 (criteria) of your NRC-approved license application, dated June 6, 1984, states that no loose combustibles are stored in the fan room.
Contrary to the above, on February 10, 1986, loose combustibles consisting of several sheets of plywood and packaging material were found stored in the supply fan room by the inspector.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement VI 0)
C. Section 3.2.3.2, " Instrumentation," of Part 1 (criteria) of your NRC-approved license application, dated June 6, 1984, states that calibrated alpha survey instruments shall be made available to employees working with unencapsulated, unirradiated special nuclear material. Section 3.2.3.9 specifies the calibration frequency for survey instruments as three months (not exceeding 4 months).
Contrary to the above, between July 31, 1984 and January 10, 1986, alpha survey instruments were calibrated every nine months which is in excess of the required calibration frequency.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement VI D) 8605070446 860430 PDR ADOCK 07000687 C PDR OFFICIAL RECORD COPY IR CINTICHEM 86 0002.0.0 04/21/86 L
Appendix A 2 D. Section 2.5, " Personnel Education and Experience Requirements," of Part 1 (criteria) of your NRC approved license application, dated June 6, 1984, states, in part, that the minimum complement of line and staff management personnel is shown in Figure 2.1. Position titles are as follows: Site Manager, Nuclear Operations Manager, Health, Safety and Environmental Affairs Manager, Radiochemical Pro-duction Manager, Reactor Supervisor, Facility Services Engineer, Reactor Project Engineer and Health Physics Supervisor. The quali-fications of the Health Physics Supervisor include a B.S. Degree in science or physics and at least 5 years experience in radiological health and safety. Reporting to the Site Manager is the Nuclear Safeguards Committee.
Contrary to the above, on February 14, 1986, the inspector found that between November 1,1985 and February 14, 1986, the minimum complement of line and staff management personnel did not correspond to Figure 2.1 in that the organization no longer included the posi-tion of Manager, Health, Safety and Environmental Affairs, a new position of Radiation Safety Officer had been established, the incumbent Health Physics Supervisor did not have a B.S. degree in science or physics and the Nuclear Safeguards Committee no longer reported to the Site Manager. .
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement VI D)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Cintichem, Incorporated is hereby 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, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further vio-lations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
