APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Saxton_ Nuclear Experimental Corporation (SNEC) Docket No. 50-146 1 Upper Pond Road License No. DPR-4 Parsippany, New Jersey 07054 As a result of the inspection conducted on November 6-10, 1986, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the follow-ing violation was identified:
Technical Specification section 5, Reports, requires, in part, that SNEC shall submit to the NRC "...a report of any occurrence of a possible unsafe condition relating to the-facility or to the public. For each occurrence, SNEC shall promptly, within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of discovery, notify by telephone or telegraph the Director of Region I, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, and shall submit a written follow-up report within 15 days which describes the circumstances and corrective actions taken".
Technical Specifications section 5.a.3 requires that such a report shall include "...any confirmed analysis of residual water from the Containment Vessel or Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility which indicates that the activity ,
concentration is above the limits of Table II, 10 CFR Part 20 for unrestricted 1 release".
Contrary to the above,15 day written reports for three Containment Vessel sump water samples with activity concentrations above the limits of 10 CFR 20 Appendix 8 Table II were not submitted to the NRC as required. Specifically, Containment Vessel sump samples collected on May 13, 1982, June 14, 1983, and February 7,1986, each showed isotopic concentrations of Cs-134, Cs-137, and Sr-90 greater than the unrestricted release concentrations of 10 CFR 20 Appendix B Table II. No written reports were submitted to the NRC as required.
This is a Severity Level V violation. (Supplement IV)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Saxton Nuclear Experimental Corporation is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
