In'accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C (1988), as modified by Fed. Reg.- 40019 (October 13, 1988), the t violation is: listed below:

A. Technibal Specifications.VII.K.1 states- in part that: " ...eachhihh radiation area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20, in which the intensity of

~

radiation is equal to or less than-1000 mr/hr at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface that radiation penetrates, shall be

. . barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area, and entrance therleto shall be controlled by issuance of special work

J part within licensed material at such levels that a major portion of the whole body could receive in any one hour a dose of 100 mrem.

Contrary .to'the above, a high radiation area within the number three

, outside storage vault, which contained three drcms of radioactive waste with radiation levels of at least 300 mr/hr at eighteen inches from the surface, was not conspicuously posted.
