No.78-102 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact:

Frank Ingram (Mailed May 3, 1978)

Tel. 301/492-7715 NRC STAFF CITES UTILITY FOR ALLEGED FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH NRC REQUIREMENTS; PROPOSES $ 31,000 FINE The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has cited the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation for alleged failure to comply with NRC regulations for the protection of its workers at the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant from radiation hazards and proposes to fine the company $ 31,000.

The NRC staff alleges that during January and February 1978, inspectors found ten items of noncompliance at the Ginna plant, six of them repetitive of former citations.

The staff has cited the company for alleged failure to determine that at least ten workers had a sufficiently low previous exposure history to qualify for .the 3 rem per quarter year radiation exposure limit applied to them rather than the 1.25 rem per quarter year that the staff alleges should have been their limit. These workers were exposed in excess of 1.25 rem but not in excess of 3 rem.

Other alleged items of noncompliance include alleged failure to properly .evaluate the radiation doses of workers who had lost their personal film badge radiation dosimeters during the second quarter of 1977; alleged failure to properly post warnings at certain radiation areas; alleged failure to file with NRC records of radiation exposure for workers who had completed their work at the plant; and other alleged items of noncompliance relating to control of high radiation areas, and maintenance of required radiation protection records of various kinds.

In a letter to the company, Dr. Ernst Volgenau, Director of NRC's Office of Inspection and Enforcement, said that "While in the past no sin'gle one of these events has directly jeopardized public health and safety, we are concerned that existing apparently, inadequate controls,

U I' U

I) have I'hich resulted in the numerous and repetitve items of noncompliance, may lead to more serious situations."

The letter also stated that, "During the past three years, a total of sixty-eight items of noncompliance were identified. .These included one violation, forty-four infractionsand twenty-three deficiencies."

The company has 20 days to inform the NRC staff in writing whether noncompliance, and it if admits or denies the alleged items of admitted, what it has done or will do to correct them and to prevent their recurrence. The company also has 20 days to request that part or all of the proposed civil penalty be remitted, giving its reasons for such a request.

The State of New York has been informed of this pro-posed enforcement action, III 0~ 4D
