| Title | Failure to Establish, Implement, and Maintain Adequate QA for Effluent and Environmental Monitoring |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green finding associated with the failure to establish, implement, and maintain adequate quality assurance (QA) program elements in the area of effluent and environmental monitoring as required by Peach Bottom, Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification (TS), Section 5.4.1. Specifically, Exelon\\\'s QA program for effluent and environmental monitoring was not sufficient to ensure: 1) that both adequate and timely evaluation and assessment of changes described in the Public Land Use Census were conducted for purposes of dose validation and sampling program modification; 2) that changes in meteorological parameters, used for public dose projections and assessment, were promptly and adequately evaluated; and 3) that laboratory QA programs for effluent and environmental sample analysis measurement systems were adequate and implemented properly. Exelon placed these issues in its CAP as Action Requests (ARs): 1226969, 1226202,1299543, 1299476,1302720, and 1303308. The finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of programs and processes and adversely affected the associated cornerstone objective in that failure to establish, implement, and maintain an adequate QA program in the effluents and environmental monitoring program area adversely affected the licensee\\\'s ability to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety. The finding was assessed for significance using IMC 0609, Appendix D, and determined to be of very tow safety significance (Green) because: the issue was contrary to TSs and is a radioactive effluent release program deficiency; there was no indication of a spill or release of radioactive material on the licensee\\\'s site or to the offsite environs that would impact public dose assessment, and there was no substantial failure to implement the radioactive effluent release program. The licensee re-assessed the dose to members of the public from routine releases and determined that projected doses did not, nor were likely to, exceed applicable limits, including as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA) design specifications of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix l; or 10 CFR 20.1301(e). The cause of this finding is related to the cross-cutting area of Human Performance, Work Practices, Aspect H.4(b) because the licensee did not ensure Personnel followed procedure compliance requirements activities for effluent and environmental monitoring program. |
