' l 7/v Attachment i i . l

,

During.an NRC inspection conducted on December 15-19, 1986, a violation of NRC  ;

< . requirements was identified. The violation involved failure to follow proce-  !

dures. 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: .

$ Violation Failure to follow orocedures

,

Technical Specification 5.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented.

Procedure RPP-20, " Radiation Work Permit (RWP)", states the RWP specifies the i minimum protective clothing that must be worn in the radiologically controlled i areas of the plant and that any substitution must provide equal or greater l

protection.

Contrary to the above,'the NRC inspector determined on December 17, 1986, that i

personnel were not wr.aring the protective clothing specified on RWP 86-430-1  ;

.

for entry into the radiologically controlled area. This_is a Severity Level V

,

violation. (Supplement IV) (285/8632-01)

-

i T OPPD's Response l

,

! 1. Reason for Violation. if Admitted Personnel were not wearing protective clothing because they were doing

routine inspections in the clean controlled areas under RWP-430-1.

] ~ Beginning December 1, 1986,-the Fort Calhoun Station changed the RWP format from a pre-printed form to a computer generated form. During the

'

' transition, a statement previously included on the pre-printed RWP, which

-

directed that protective clothing was not required in clean controlled ,_ .. l

,

-( areas, was omitted from the new form. This change led to personnel who i

were accustomed to the pre-printed RWP continuing in the practice of not i wearing protective clothing in clean controlled areas. This was consis-  !

tent with Radiation Protection Manual- allowances- for clean controlled i areas, but was inconsistent with the RWP. This discrepancy posed no '

i radiological concerns.

'

, 2. Corrective Steos Which Have Been Taken and the Results' Achieved l

'When this item was brought to OPPD's attentien, action was taken to I

correct affected RWP's by upgrading those RWP's to include the statement, l j

'

" Protective clothing should not be worn in clean controlled areas." The

'

computer program which generates the RWP form was changed to include the direction for non-use of protective clothing in clean controlled areas-which formerly_ appeared on the pre-printed RWP. .

3. Corrective Steos Which Nill Be Taken to Avoid Further Violations 1 The corrective steps taken have been effective, and no further action is.

planned.

4. Date When Full Comoliance Will Be Achieved

OPPD .is presently in full compliance.
