NOTICE OF VIOLATION l l

Public Service Company of . Colorado Docket: 50-267 ]

Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station License: DPR-34 i 1

l During an NRC inspection conducted on February 17, 1989, a violation of NRC l requirements was identified. The violation involved a failure to follow i guidelines established in approved procedures. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988),-the violation is listed below:

Failure to Establish and Control Radiological Areas Licensee Technical Specification AC7.4.d requires, in part, that-procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, and shall be approved, maintained, and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

Licensee Procedure HPP-9, Issue 8 " Establishing and Posting Controlled '

Areas,." implements the requirement of 10 CFR Part 20. Step 5.3.5 of HPP-9 states, in part, that a suitable contamination survey meter be set up at the step-off pad or nearest " low background" area whenever an individual is required to work in the controlled area. Any individual entering the con'aminated area shall perform a whole body frisk upon exiting the area.

Contrary to the above, on February 17, 1989, the south stairway between Levels 10 and 11 of the reactor building was utilized by potentially contaminated individuals prior to performing a whole body frisk and was simultaneously utilized by individuals exiting the area after frisking. l This was due to a contamination survey meter being established in the wrong location.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement 10)(267/8903-01)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Public Service Company of Colorado 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 violation 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 the response time.
