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
i
minimum protective clothing that must be worn in the radiologically controlled
i
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
i
personnel were not wr.aring the protective clothing specified on RWP 86-430-1
for entry into the radiologically controlled area. This_is a Severity Level V
.
violation.

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
2
'
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
,
i
were accustomed to the pre-printed RWP continuing in the practice of not
4
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
'
i
radiological concerns.
2.
Corrective Steos Which Have Been Taken and the Results' Achieved
,
'
'When this item was brought to OPPD's attentien, action was taken to
correct affected RWP's by upgrading those RWP's to include the statement,
j
" 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.
