APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Cintichem, Inc. Docket Nos. 50-54;70-687 Sterling Forest Research Reactor License Nos. R-81; SNM-639 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 6-8, 1986, violations of NRC require-ments were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcemen,t Policy 1986), the violations are listed below:
A.
THIS SECTION CONTAINS SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION AND IS NOT FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE.
IT IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement III).
B. Technical Specification 3.5.3(4) states, in part, that at least one door of the double airlock doors shall be closed while the reactor is operating.
Contrary to the above, on October 8, 1984, a reactor startup was initiated with the inner sliding door of the double airlock doors adjacent to the transfer canal between the. reactor building and the hot laboratory partially opened. The outer door was physically closed but the 0-ring gasket was not inflated. In that arrangement neither door was closed as required.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Cintichem, Inc. 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) the reason for the violations, if admitted; (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending this response time.
