S ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Duke Power Company Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 Oconee License Nos. DPR-37, DPR-47, and DPR-55 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on January 12-16, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved failure to adequately evaluate radiological hazards. 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:

10 CFR 20.201(b) requires each licensee to make or cause to be made such surveys as (1) may be necessary for the licensee to comply with the regulations and (2) are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present. 10 CFR 20.201(a) states that " survey" means an evaluation of the radiation hazards incident to the production, use, release, disposal or presence of radioactive materials or other sources of radiation under a specific set of conditions.

Contrary to the above, the requirement to make suitable surveys as may be necessary to comply with the regulations and are reasonable under the circumstances to evaluate the extent of radiation hazards that may be present were not met in that on January 13, 1987, adequate radiological controls were not established for work on a reactor coolant pump which resulted in three individuals becoming externally contami'nated and receiving intakes of radioactive material ranging from 11 to 202 times the quantity that would result from inhaling air containing uniform concentrations specified in Appendix B, Table 1, Column 1 for one hour.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Duke Power Company is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including (1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (4) the 8702190179 B70211
