1.
INFRACTION Contrary 6o 10 CFR 20.201(b), adequate evaluations were not made to determine compliance with 10 CFR 20.103 for several individuals exhibiting high whole body counts during the fourth quarter of 1977 and the first quarter of 1978.
CORRECTIVE ACTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTION TO PREVENT RECURRENCE During the fourth quarter of 1977 and the first quarter of 1978, whole body ' counting results for fourteen individuals indicated that they may have exceeded the 40 MPC hour action level contained in 10 CFR 20.103.
Records for the fcurteen individuals were examined to determine their actual exposure to airborne concentrations of radioactive material.
This review which included examination of special work permits, time keeping records, respiratory equipment logs, air sample results, job assignment records and other station records indicated that it is doubtful that any individual exceeded the 40 MPC hour action level during any one week period.
In order to prevent further noncompliance, the whole body counting procedure has been revised.
This revision includes new conservatim action levels and guidelines for subsequent investigation when action levels are exceeded.
