Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings No previous inspection findings were outstandin. Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspectio. Implementation of Radiological Environmental Monitoring Progra a. Technical Specification 4.10-Table 4.10-1; defines the radiological environmental monitoring program requirements. The inspector conducted a detailed review of the radiological environmental monitoring program to verify the implementation thereof and to assess its compliance with the program commitments defined in the subject specification. The review included the following: (1) inspection of monitoring and sampling stations including the availability, maintenance, and calibration of monitoring and sampling equipment used; (2) review of the Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Reports for the periods ending December 1979, and 1980, respectively, with emphasis on identification of missing data, obvious mistakes and anomalous measure tion of corrective action for anomalous results identified; (3)
written procedures for assuring implementation of each program parameter. There were no questions regarding this ite b. Inspection of monitoring and sampling stations listed in Table 4.10-1 of the referenced specification included the following: (1) all air particulate and associated radioiodine, soil, and TLD monitoring stations; (2) all surface and groundwater sampling stations; (3) ten randomly selected direct radiation monitoring stations (4)
milk sampling station Inspection disclosed that all air particulate monitoring equipment was calibrated at six month intervals and appropriately tagged with calibration sticker Inspection also disclosed that an adequate supply of air particulate monitoring replacement equipment and spare parts was maintained to minimize periodic interruptions of required continuous monitoring. The location of all monitoring and sampling stations listed above complied with those locations cited in the referenced specification and the respective monitoring and sampling procedures. There were no questions regarding this ite c. Inspection included a review of monthly radiological environmental sampling and analysis summaries for the period January, 1979 through March, 198 Each report included a listing of missing samples and the respective reasons therefore, and a summary of analytical quality contro Inspection also included review of semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports required by Appendix B of Facility Technical Specifications for the periods ending December 1979 and 198 Inspection disclosed that the subject reports were consistent with the requirements defined in terms of sampling locations, monitoring and surveillance frequencies, and the interpretation and evaluation of results. There were no questions regarding this ite d. Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires the establishment of written procedures and administrative policies to assure implementation of all conditions and commitments defined in the specification Inspection included a detailed review of procedures, and all revisions thereof, developed to implement radiological environmental monitoring and sampling requirements of Technical Specification 4.10, Table 4.10- The procedures listed below were reviewe ES-1 (R-7 5/5/81) Environmental Surveillance ES-2 (R-2 5/15/81) Effluent And Waste Disposal Report ES-3 (R-3, 5/15/81) Liquid Waste Release ES-4 (R-6, 3/24/81) Gaseous Effluent Accountability ES-5 (R-1, 4/14/80) Environmental Air Sampler Calibration Inspection of procedures also included review and audit of sample collection and shipping records for the period January 1980 through June 1981 as
- required by procedure ES-1. Radiochemical analysis of all environmental samples is conducted at the licensee's central laboratory in New Hill, North Carolina. Inspection disclosed that the procedures were consistent with the requirements of Technical Specification 6.8.1. There were no questions regarding this ite. Analytical Quality Control Radiochemical analysis of all environmental monitoring samples are conducted at the licensee's central corporate laboratory (Shearon Harris Energy and Environmental Center, New Hill, North Carolina). A detailed review of radioanalytical quality assurance and quality control programs was the subject of an inspection of the laboratory conducted as part of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant radiological environmental inspection (IE Inspection Report Nos. 50-324/81-09 and 50-325/81-09).
The referenced inspection disclosed that both an intralaboratory and interlaboratory analytical quality control program is maintained. The subject program includes the following: (1) duplicate sample analysis; (2) periodic distribution of spiked samples for analysis within the corporate laboratory and the State of North Carolina; (3) participation in the EPA cross-check program. The quality control program is consistent with the guidance promulgated in Regulatory Guide 4.15 (Quality Assurance for Radiological Monitoring Programs (Normal Operations) - Effluent Streams and the Environment. There were no questions regarding this ite. Management Controls Section 6 of the Facility Technical Specifications defines management and administrative controls required to assure implementation of Technical Specifications and commitment a. Inspection included a review of management controls and specific discussions with cognizant licensee representatives regarding management controls addressing the radiological environmental monitoring program defined in Technical Specification 4.10. The following items were reviewed: (1) responsibility assigned to organizations and individuals for expressly assuring implementation of the monitoring program; (2) responsibility assigned for sample collection, operation and maintenance of sampling equipment and stations; (3) qualifications of individuals managing the program, implementing sample collection, sample station operation, maintenance, and equipment calibration; (4) periodic audit of the monitoring program. Inspection disclosed that organizational and individual responsibility for assuring program implementation was consistent with the referenced specification requirements. There were no questions regarding this ite b. Technical Specification 6.5.4 requires an audit, at least once per year, of the conformance of facility operation to all provisions conditions. Inspection involved review and discussions with cognizant
licensee representatives of quality assurance audits, conducted during calendar years 1979 and 1980. Review of Audits QAA/20-19 (11/12/79)
and QAA/20-22 (11/19/80) included audit checklists, responses to deficiencies and closures of such deficiencies by the Quality Assurance Organization. Inspection disclosed that all deficiencies identified were corrected within the assigned time periods. There were no questions regarding this ite. IE Bulletin 81-03 The inspector reviewed the licensee's response to IE Bulletin 81-03 (Flow Blockage of Cooling Water to Safety System Components by Corbicula S (Asiatic Clam) and Mytilus Sp. (Mussel)). The inspector discussed the response with cognizant licensee representatives who reiterated that their studies and investigations of Black Creek and the Robinson Impoundment continue to indicate that Asiatic Clams (Corbicula) are not present at the facility. There were no further questions regarding this item.
