ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Public Power District Docket No.: 50-285 Fort Calhoun Station License No.: DPR-40 l l

During an NRC inspection conducted on April 6-10,1998, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:

10 CFR 20.1003 defines a high radiation area as an area accessible to individuals, in which radiation levels could result in an individual receiving a dose equivalent in v. cess of 0.1 rem (100 millirems) in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface that the radiation penetrates.

Technical Specification 5.11 requires, in part, that entrance into high radiation areas be controlled by radiation work permits.

Radiation Work Permit 98-0011, " Routine Operations Duties Throughout Containment,"

Revision 0, requires continuous radiation protection coverage for entry into restricted high radiation areas (high radiation areas with dose rates greater than 1000 millirems / hour)

Contrary to the above, on April 7,1998, an individual working in accordance with Radiation Work Permit 98-0011 entered a restricted high radiation area in Steam Generator Bay B without continuous radiation protection coverage.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV)(50-285/9806-05).
