ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Georgia Power Corporation Docket Nos. 50-321 and 50-366 E. I. Hatch License Nos. DPR-57 and NPF-5 Baxley, Georgia During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on June 23-27, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved the failure to survey materials prior to release from the radiation controlled area, and failure to adequately survey items being removed from the radiation controlled area. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires the licensee to establish, implement and maintain written procedures covering the applicable activities in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, recommends the licensee have procedures for radiation surveys and contamination control.

Plant Procedure 60AC-HPX-07-0, Control of Radioactive Materials, Section 8.6.1 requires that all materials leaving the radiation controlled area (RCA) be treated as radioactive material and not be released for unrestricted use until health physics has monitored and authorized the release.

Plant Procedure 62RP-RAD-017-0, Release Surveys for Trash and Materials Leaving Operating Buildings, requires that radiation levels at one inch from the surface of the material must be less than 100 counts per minute (cpm) above background using a G.M. detector. This procedure further requires that materials removed from the operating buildings be surveyed by a Health Physics Technician.

Contrary to the above, the requirement that material be surveyed prior to removal from the RCA/ operating buildings was not met in that on June 23-25, 1986:

1. Materials were released from the RCA for unrestricted use without being monitored and authorized for such release. The materials included lunchboxes, radios, and flashlights removed by approximately 25 individuals.

2. Materials were removed from an operating building past Control Point C-52 without having a survey performed sufficient to detect radioactivity levels of 100 counts per minute above background. The detector was being moved over the material too rapidly to detect the specific release level.
