Docket No.:
50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 License No.:
NPF 38 During an NRC inspection conducted on September 22 26,1997, two violations of NRC requirements were identified, in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 7.e.1, requires procedures for access control to radiation areas including a radiation work permit system.
Procedure UNT 005 022, RCA Access Control," Revision 9, Section 4.3.1, states that radiation workers are responsible for ensuring they have the proper dosimetry for entry into a radiologically controlled area. The minimum dosimetry required is a thermoluminescent dosimeter and a 0-200 mrem self-reading dosimeter or electronic dosimeter.
Contrary to the above, on January 10, May 7, May 24, June 11, and June 12, 1997, radiation workers entered the radiological controlled area without the required electronic dosimeter or thermoluminescent dosimeter or both.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1)(50-382/9720-01).
B.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 7.e.4, requires procedures for contamination control.
Health Physics Procedure HP-001-152, " Labeling, Handling, and Storage of Radioactive Material," Revision 12, states that tools and equipment shall be monitored for contamination prior to removal from radiologically controlled areas where contamination monitoring requirements exist.
Contrary to the above, on February 20, March 15, June 3, and July 23,1997, items contaminated with licensed material were discovered outside the radiological controlled area.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (50-382/9720-02).
