Dear Sir:
This lettar refers to the violation cited in the subject inspection reports which state:
"During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on October 19-23, 1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved the failure of a licensee employee to wear the pro-tective clothing required by a radiation work permit (RWP). 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:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained covering the appliceble procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, i
November 1972. Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A states that i
procedures for control of radioactivity should include a radia-tion work permit procedure.
Farley Health Physics Manual Paragraph 4.1.1.7, states that one of the responsibilities of the individual worker is to know and
{
follow the requirements of the RWP under which he is working.
Contrary to the above, on October 20, 1987, the inspector observed a licensee employee performing work inside a controlled area without wearing the protective clothing required by RWP 0-87-0001A.
This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement IV)"

)
The above violation occurred as described in the subject reports with the following clarification.
I At 0942 on 10-20-87, a security guard was assigned to go to door 2433 (Unit i
2 spent fuel pool). The guard was already dressed in a set of Tyvec coveralls. The guard incorrectly assumed that he was responding to an unauthorized entry. He ran directly to the 10' by 10' step-off pad area outside the spent fuel pool door and questioned all personnel present as to who had caused the door alarm. He then realized that there was no unauthorized entry, and that he had been assigned to cover door 2433 during equipment removal. He then crossed the step-off pad without donning the required protective clothing. He remained at door 2433 until 1027.
I Reason For Violation The above violation was caused by personnel error in that the security guard failed to comply with the radiation work permit requirements for entry into the spent fuel pool room.
Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved The individual involved was frisked. No contamination was found.
Corrective Steps Taken to Avoid Further Violations The individual cecurity guard involved was counseled and all security guards have been reinstructed concerning the necessity of following radiation work permit requirements.
Date of Full Compliance October 31, 1987 Affirmation I affirm that this response is true and complete to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. The information contained in this letter is not considered to be of a proprietary nature.
Yours very rul'y,
