Review of the REMP indica~ed no anomalous results or unusual trend All samples were accounted-for and appropriate reasons given for missing samples.. Jn a letter dated August 22, 1985., the licensee wrote th.at an air sampler location 006 was changed to avoid further flood damag An e*lectric pole at 006 was destroyed in a flood in the spring of 1985.
resulting in no power to the 006 air sampler for six month The
.
inspector expressed concern of the excessively long time taken*to correct the_proble At present the sampler is operational at a new locatio The licensee also renumbered five TLD stations to be consistent with the licensee's TLD n_urnbering system for all station The licensee received a TIS Amendment to Section 3.8 and 4.8 for the*
Radiological Effluent Technical Specifi~ations (RETS) which went into effect on March 15, 198 This involves change~ to the reporting levels for radioactivity concentrations and reporting requirements in T/S for the REM The inspector noted that Section 8.4 for the REMP in Revision 11 of the ODCM is consistent with the new.TI Inspectof's review of sele~ted wee~ly samp1e collection sheets. completed by the contra.ttor's sample collector showed that air samplers "were calibrated on a monthly schedule.using a rota flowineter; -necessary*
