d APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Boston Edison Company Docket No. 50-293 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-35 As a result of the inspection conducted on March 24-27, 1986, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violations were identified:

1. Technical specification 6.8 requires that written procedures and -

administrative policies be established, implemented and maintained, that meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Appen -

dix 'A' of Regulatory Guide 1.33, 1972. Station approved procedure 1.3.4, " Procedures," requires in Section III.A that approved written procedures be adhered to by all station personnel. Procedure PNPS-6.9-160, Revision 20 specifies in part, (1) to survey material to be packaged and to document the survey results on appropriate radiation survey forms and maps, and (2) to document the maximum radiation level at the surface of the package, and the total activity within the pack-age on the shipping manifest.

Contrary to the above, on January 23,1985, July 9,1985, and August 2, 1985, radiation surveys of packaged irradiated reactor components were not documented on appropriate radiation survey forms and maps; the maximum radiation level at the surface of the package was incorrect for shipment numbers 85-06 and 85-66; and the total radioactivity contained within shipment number 85-79 was incorrectly listed during transport.

The above examples constitute a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement V). , ,

2. 10 CFR 20.311(d)(3), " Transfer for disposal and manifests" requires licensees who transfers radioactive waste to a land disposal facility to conduct a quality control program to assure compliance with 10 CFR 61.56. -

7 Contrary to the above, the licensee had transferred several -

radioactive waste shipments composed of dewatered resins and diatomaceous earth absorbers to a land disposal facility during 1984 and 1985 and the licensee had not conducted a quality control program to assure that the packages did not contain free standing liquid greater than 1% of the waste volume, and that the waste was structurally stable for compliance with 10 CFR 61.56.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement V).
