ENCLOSURE 1 j kl- NOTICE OF VIOLATION  !

Entergy Operations, Inc. Docket No.: 50-416 L . Grand Gulf Nuclear Station License No.: NPF-29 j

, During an NRC inspection conducted on February 1-5,1999, one violation of NRC l requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and  ;

, Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below- '

Technical Specification 5.7.2 requires, in part, that areas with radiation levels greater- -)

than.or equal to 1000 millirems per hour be provided with locked or continuously l guarded doors to prevent unadorized entry. Technical Specification 5.7.3 states, in part, that for individual high radiation areas with radiation levels greater than 1000 mrem -l per hour, accessible to personnel, that are located within large areas such as the reactor j containment, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, or that cannot be .

continuously guarded, and where no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual area, that individual area shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted, and a flashing light shall be activated as a waming device.

. Contrary to the above, on February 1,1999, NRC inspectors identified that an area with

. dose rates greater than 1000 millirems per hour was not provided with locked or l continuously guarded doors to prevent unauthorized entry. _ Specifically, the area around the spent fuel pool cooling and cleanup heat exchangers, an area which is accessible to L ' personnel and in which an enclosure reasonably could be constructed, was not provided with locked or continuously guarded doors to prevent unauthorized entry.
