NOTICE OF VIOLATION Detroit Edison Company Docket No. 50-341 Enrico Fermi, Unit 2 - Facility License No. NPF-43 During an NRC inspection conducted April 6-9,1998, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC 4

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, i.

Implemented, and maintained covering activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, recommends that safety-retated activities covered

by written procedures include radiation protection procedures for access control to radiation areas including a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) system.

Fermi 2 Radiation Protection Conduct Manual, MRP04, Revision 4, " Accessing and Working in the Radiologically Restricted Area," step 4.5.4 requires that staff sign the access sheet to acknowledge understanding and compliance with RWP instructions and step 4.5.4.a. requires that staff not deviate from the RWP unless specific authorization is obtained from Radiation Protection.

a. Instruction 3.C. of RWP 98-1048, Ravision 2 " Room Cooler PMs, Lube RWCU Motors, Change 'B' Pump Oil, Adjust RHR Hanger, Repair P11F193 Reachrod, 1 Rework P11F342, Repair / Replace 'A' Pump Union, and Replace RTD and Cable," requires stay time tracking for entry into locked high radiation areas.

b. Instruction 2. of RWP 98-1016, Revision 0, " Lube Oil Systems: Maintenance, Repairs, Surveillance, Filter Change-out, and Component Cleaning," requires that radiation protection be present for a system breach.

Contrary to the above;

a. On January 20,1998, two mechanical maintenance staff entered the north reactor water cleanup room, a locked high radiation area, without stay time tracking, and this deviation was not authorized by Radiation Protection.

b. On March 30,1998, a mechanical maintenance worker breached the lube oil system and removed the N3000F048A valve without radiation protection being present, and this deviation was not authorized by Radiation Protection.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV). 4 I
