DPR-5, DPR-26 and DPR-64, as indicated below.
Items A and B are categorized as Infractions; Item C as a Deficiency.
A.
Section 5.4.B of the Environmental Technical Specification Require-ments (ETSR) for Units 1 and 2, and Section 5.4.2 of the ETSR for Unit 3 require in part, that all detailed, written procedures, as they pertain to these ETSR, be reviewed and approved by the Envir-onmental Protection Committee (EPC) and, if they affect plant oper-
,
ations, approved by the plant manager.
Contrary to these requirements, as of September 29, 1977, required procedures, including those for the analysis of air particulates, clams / crabs, fish and soil for Sr-89 and Sr-90 and for the gross beta analysis of aquatic vegetation, clams / crabs and fish were not reviewed and approved by the EPC.
B.
Section 5.4.A of the ETSR for Units 1 and 2, and Section 5.4.1 of the ETSR for Unit 3 require, in part, that the detailed written procedures required for carrying out the ETSR be followed.
Contrary to these requirements, as of September 29, 1977, Procedure NEM-AD-08, Revision 3, Quality Control Program, had not been followed nor implemented, nor had its predecessor, NEM-A-08, Revision 2
,
Environmental Quality Control Program been implemented.
i C.
Section 4.2.1.1 and Tables 4.2-1. and 4.2-3 of the ETSR for Unit 3 require, in part, that environmental media be sampled and analyzed at specified locations, frequencies and by specified analyses meet-ing specified minimum sensitivities.
Contrary to these requirements, the specified I-131 analyses for Hudson River aquatic vegetation and for lake aquatic vegetation did not meet the specified minimum sensitivity level of 0.05 pCi/g of wet vegetation.
The reported sensitivity levels since January, 1976 varied from 0.09 - 0.4 pCi/g and larger.

(1) Mr. t. Volpe has replaced Mr. P. Crinigan as supervisor of the Nuclear Environmental Monitoring (NEM) program.
(2) The Supervisor - NEM now reports to Dr. A. Cheifetz, Senior Engr. and Corporate Radiation Safety Officer, who in turn reports to Mr. E. Kessig, Ass't V. Pres. for Power Generation Operations, through the Division Chemist, the Chief Chemical Engineer, and the Mgr. Operations Services Dept. Formerly, the Supervisor-NEM reported to Mr. R. Van Wyck, Senior Health Physist and Corporate Radiation Safety Officer, who reported directly to Mr.
Kessig as Ass't V. President for Power Generation.
(3) Mr. E. Kelleher has replaced Mr. G. Cowherd as Director, Department of Biology, con Ed.
(4)
Since May 1, 1977 all environmental samples requiring radiological analyses have been analyzed by Teledyne Isotopes, Inc., Westwood, New Jersey.
Prior to this time, samples analyzed for H-3, gross beta activity or gamma-emitting nuclides had been analyzed at the Indian Point site by the NEM group.
(5)
Selected samples of environmental media are no longer split and submi_tted to Eberline-Southeast Facility for evaluation of the quality of analytical performance of the other radiological analytical laboratories.
The inspector determined through discussions with the licensee and the review of the results of these changes that these changes did not result in a decrease in the level of manage-ment controls from the previous program.
b.
Licensee Audits The inspector reviewed the results of the QSR-401 Audit 77-El conducted on May 23-31, 1977 of the NEM program. The inspector determined that any item requiring correction or resolution was documented in the report to Con Ed management.
Each of the identified items were addressed by con Ed and action was initiated to resolve these items.
The inspector had no further questions in the above area at this time.

C.
Procedures The inspector reviewed salected procedures required by the ETSR, reviewed the minutes of the Environmental Protection Committee (EPC) at which the various procedures were review-ed and approved, and discussed these procedures with the licensee.
The inspector determined that the procedures identified dur-ing the last inspection as not reviewed and approved by the EPC, as required, had subsequently, received these actions.
Procedures specifically involved, included those procedures required to implement Sections 4.1.2 and 4.2, Environmental Surveillance Programs of the ETSR; the NEM procedures required to conduct the radiological environmental sampling of media; and selected radio-analytical procedures for environmental media.
The inspector had no further questions in the above areas; however, the inspector identified a number of radioanalyses which are required by. the ETSR for which the licensee did not have copies of the employed procedures, nor were they reviewed and approved by the EPC, as required.
The specific procedures identified, included those for the analyses of Sr-89 and Sr-90 in air particulates, clams / crabs, fish and soil and for the analyses of gross beta activity in aquatic vegetation, clams /
crabs and fish.
The inspector stated that this item was in noncompliance with Section 5.4.B of the ETSR for Units 1 and 2 and Section 5.4.2 of the ETSR for Unit 2, which requires that the detailed procedures required for conducting the activities of the ETSR be reviewed and approved by the EPC.
(77-14-01; 77-33-01; 77-31-01)
The inspector also determined through discussions with the licensee and the review of selected radiological environmen-tal media sampling procedures and available records that these procedures had been revised to reflect the activities conducted, and had been reviewed, approved and implen,ented.
One exception identified was Procedure NEM-AD-08. Rev. 3 " Quality Control Program," approved on May 9,1977, superseding Procedure NEM-A-08, Revision 2.
While the above procedure had been properly reviewed and approved, it had not been implemented.
It should be noted that its predecessor, NEM-A-08, Revision 2 had not
.
o
,
,
.
been implementad either and was so identified during the last inspection of this area (77-03-02; 77-09-02; 77-10-02).
The inspector stated that this item appears to be uncorrected and is in noncompliance with Section 5.4. A of the ETSR for Units 1 and 2 and Section 5.4.1 of the ETSR for Unit 3 (77-14-02; 77-33-02; 77-31-02).
The inspector discussed with the licensee and contractor per-sonnel the existing control system as used by the licensee to assure proper distribution of approved procedures and proced-ure changes, the timely implementation of those changes and appro-priate checks to assure that the implemented procedures had received the required approvals prior to implementation.
The licensee stated that this area is currently being reviewed and some improvements will be made in this area.
The inspector also discussed with the licensee the use of a
" master list" or " master copy file" of procedures which require review and approval by the EPC. The licensee stated that such a file is currently being developed and should be completed by December 15,1977. _The inspector had no further questions in this area at this time.
The licensee stated that by November 1,1977, a computer pro-gram package would be developed and implemented to aid in the control of the Nuclear Environmental Monitoring program.
The package would be used as a surveillance tool to assure that all of the required sampling and analyses were performed within the scheduled / required performance windows and would be used to' " flag" the licensee of anomalcus/ atypical measure-ment results and of analytical results which do not meet the required sensitivity levels.
The inspector had no further questions in this area at this time.
.
d.
Reports The inspector determined through discussions with the licensee and through the review of the EPC meeting minutes, that the 1976 Annual Environmental Operating Reports, Parts A and B, have been reviewed as required by the ETSR. The inspector also determined that the language of the EPC Charter had been modif-ied to encourage and accommodate the review of future reports prior to their submittal to the NRC.
The inspector had no further questions in this area.

no subsequent ganna analyses fall into the unresolved category.
,
With respect to the resolution of apparent gamma analysis spectral
'
'
discrepancies of water samples from January 1976 through April 1977, the licensee stated that a) spiked water samples would be
,
analyzed for gamna emitters using a Marinelli breaker and then evaporated and analyzed via the in-house procedures utilized be-tween January 1976 and April 1977 and b) the analytical results of i
those analyses performed prior to May 1977 will be compared with those analyzed by the contractor subsequent to May 1,1977.
The
'
licensee stated that this action would be completed by April 1,
1978. This item remains unresolved (77-14-04; 77-33-04; 77-31-05).
The inspector examined selected environmental radioanalytical re-
'
sults since January, 1976 and discussed with the licensee the con-trols and reviews performed on the data and analyses.
The inspector determined that since January 1976 the Minimum Detectable Level (MDL)
had not been achieved for I-131 analysis of Hudson River aquatic vegetation nor for lake aquatic vegetation.
Section 4.2.1.1 and Table 4.2-1 and 4.2-3 of the ETSR for Unit 3 require,in part, that I-131 in these media be analyzed with a MDL of 0.05 pCi/g. The data reviewed indicated the-MDLs achieved were 0.09 - 0.4 pCi/g
'
or larger. The inspector stated that this was an item of noncompli-ance (77-31-07).
The inspector also determined through discussions with the licensee
-
that action had not yet been taken to resolve item 77-10-09. The inspector stated that additional analytical data, including chemi-cal yields, background count rates, counter efficiencies, sample count rates, etc. were necessary to determine whether MDLs for Sr-89, Sr-90 and I-131 in environmental media had been achieved.
The licensee stated that this data would be obtained from the contractor and would be reviewed by the licensee and available for
inspection by January 1,1978. The inspector stated that this item remains unresc1ved pending the review of the data by the NRC (77-31-06).

Emergency Planning The inspector reviewed Section 14, Emergency Plan, of the Indian Point Station Training Manual and determined that the Emergency Plan training program was now documented in terms of lesson out-lines and schedules to correct the previously identified deviation (76-14-04; 76-32-04; 76-32-04). The inspector discussed specific training items with the licensee.
In this regard, the licensee stated that the Training Manual would be modified to reflect that the First Aid Teams would receive technical qualification training via the Red Cross Multi-Media and CPR Training and that the fire fighting teams members would receive initial formal technical qualification training with an established technical fire fighting program.
