| Title | Failure to monitor effluent releases from SFP filter backwash |
| Description | An NRC identified Green non-cited violation of 10 CFR 20.1302 was identified for failure to representatively monitor and assess radioactive effluents from the Spent Fuel Pool Filter Backwash System released via the plant main vent. During the period of approximately July 2000 to April 2007 the plant operated in a configuration that failed to properly implement the effluent monitoring program. With the particulate and iodine monitors being operated without the isokinetic sampling skids, the representativeness of the samples was unknown when the SFP back-wash system was operated. Licensee corrective actions included collection of in-plant samples to bound releases until the monitors are restored to the as designed configuration. The issue was more than minor because it was associated with the Program/Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone and potentially affected the cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The effluent release program finding was determined to be of very low safety significance because it was determined that the finding did not involve exceeding regulatory limits in 10 CFR 20.1301(e) or 10 CFR 50 Appendix I, and it was not a substantial failure to implement the effluent program. The finding was determined to not be representative of current operations and the application of a cross-cutting issue was deemed inappropriate |
