APPENDIX A l NOTICE OF VIOLATION Power Authority of the State of New York Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant License No. DPR-59 i As a result of an inspection conducted on March 16 to March 20, 1987, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2. Appendix C), the follow-ing violations were identified:

A. Technical Specification 6.8, " Procedures," requires, in part, that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained which meet the

- requirements and reconnendations of Regulatory Guide 1.33, 1972. Regu-i latory Guide 1.33, 1972, recommends that procedures for restrictions and activities in high radiation areas be established.

Procedure No.19. " Procedure for Control of Non-Security Related Keys Issued to the Operations Department," which controls issuance of individ-ual high radiation area access keys by shift supervision (SS) requires,

! in part, in section 7, that: 1) the on-coming Shift Supervisor reviews the key log prior to taking the shift to determine if any keys are out or

_ missing; 2) the SS, or designated alternate, will initial the fann, designating his approval for issuing the key; and 3) semi-annually, the Operations Superintendent or his designated alternate will perfonn an inventory of the non-security related keys using the non-security related key list as a reference.

Contrary to the above, Shift Supervisor reviews, including

March 19, 1987, did not identify a missing key, in that a controlled key (R-49) was missing, and had been for an undetennined period of time.

Contrary to the above, there were thirty-three (33) instances where the Shift Supervisor, or his designated alternate, did not initial Form 8.1 authorizing issue of High Radiation Area and other controlled keys during March 1987.

Contrary to the above, semi-annual inventory (Surveillance No. F-ST-99A, dated 2/16/87) did not account for all required keys. Specifically, one I

of two required "X1" keys, which provide access to the Tip Room (controlled as an area with dose rates greater than 1000 mR/hr), was not accounted for by the inventory.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation.

Technical Specification 6.11 requires, in part, that procedures for personnel radiation protection be prepared and adhered to and that these procedures be fonnulated to maintain radiation exposures received during operation and maintenance as far below the limits specified in 10 CFR 20 as practicable. They shall also include contamination control techniques.

Procedure RPOP-4, " Radiation Work Pennit," requires in part, in section 4.9.3.d. that the leadman ensures that personnel working on the RWP comply with all dosimetry and protective clothing requirements.

Contrary to the above, at about 0600 on 1/17/87, the leadman for RWP 87-345-S did not ensure that all personnel complied with the RWP for cav-ity work. One individual signed in on the RWP, and performed work in the cavity, and did not wear protective plastic suit bottoms required by the RWP. The worker was subsequently contaminated.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation.

C. Technical Specification 6.5.2.8, " Audits," states, in part, that audits of the performance, training and qualifications of the entire facility staff shall be perfonned at least once per 12 months.

Procedure SRCP-9 further defines " entire" facility staff to mean those facility managerial, supervisory and operational personnel having responsibility for and exercising those functions required to assure the conformance of the facility operation to provisions contained within the Technical Specifications and applicable License Conditions.

Contrary to the above, audits of personnel qualifications, for audit years 1983-1986, did not include evaluations of qualifications for Radiation and Environmental Services (RES) supervisors below the RES Superintendent.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
