lx Attachment e
During an NRC inspection conducted on December 15-19, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved failure to follow proce-dures.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions",10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:
Violation Failure to follow orocedures Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented.
Procedure RPP-20, " Radiation Work Permit (RWP)", states the RWP specifies the minimum protective clothing that must be worn in the radiologically controlled areas of the plant and that any substitution must provide equal or greater protection.
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on December 17, 1986, that personnel were not wearing the protective clothing specified on RWP 86-430-1 for entry into the radiologically controlled area.
This is a Severity Level V violation.
(Supplement IV) (285/8632-01)
OPPD's Response 1.
Reason for Violation. if Admitted Personnel were not wearing protective clothing because they were doing routine inspections in the clean controlled areas under RWP-430-1.
Beginning December 1, 1986, the Fort Calhoun Station changed the RWP format from a pre-printed form to a computer generated form.
During the transition, a statement previously included on the pre-printed RWP, which directed that protective clothing was not required in clean controlled areas, was omitted from the new form.
This change led to personnel who were accustomed to the pre-printed RWP continuing in the practice of not wearing protective clothing in clean controlled areas. This was consis-tent with Radiation Protection Manual allowances for clean controlled areas, but was inconsistent with the RWP. This discrepancy posed no radiological concerns.
2.
Corrective Steps Which Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved When this item was brought to OPPD's attention, action was taken to correct affected RWP's by upgrading those RWP's to include the statement,
" Protective clothing should not be worn in clean controlled areas." The computer program which generates the RWP form was changed to include the direction for non-use of protective clothing in clean controlled areas which formerly appeared on the pre-printed RWP.
3.
Corrective Steos Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Further Violations The corrective steps taken have been effective, and no further action is planned.
4.
Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved OPPD is presently in full compliance, f/2&
