| Title | Failure to Adequately Implement and Maintain the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program by Collecting Representative Samples from the Principal Food Pathways |
| Description | Green. A finding of very low safety significance and an associated NCV of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV(B), were identified by the inspectors for the licensees failure to establish an appropriate surveillance and monitoring program in order to provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment to evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. This was an NRC-identified finding for the failure to implement and maintain the licensees radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP) by collecting representative samples from the highest deposition coefficient (D/Q) quadrant locations during annual REMP sampling and collections of food products in 2015. On May 25, 2016, during a review of the stations annual radiological environmental operating report for 2015, the inspectors noted that the licensee documented missed samples in three out of four quadrants where the principal food pathways were grown within the 10 kilometers from the station and missed milk samples. The licensee captured this issue in their CAP as IR 4002540. Licensee corrective actions included, but were not limited to, revising the applicable REMP procedures and investigating the possibility of growing the principal food pathways on the licensees owner controlled area or other approved licensee property within the 10 kilometer site radius. The performance deficiency was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Program and Process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of the public from radiation. Specifically, the licensee failed to implement effective sample collection from sample locations for food products from three of the major quadrants during annual REMP sampling and collections in 2015. The licensees Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), as written, did not meet 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, which requires the licensee to establish and provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs. The finding was determined to be of very low safety significance in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process, because it only involved the licensees REMP. The inspectors determined that this finding had a 4 cross-cutting component in the area of human performance, change management aspect, because the licensee did not use a systematic process for evaluating and implementing changes in their REMP sampling and collection program.
