4.0 Implementation of the REMP
4.1 Direction Observatig The inspector exauined selected environn. ental monitoring stations including Mr suplers for iodines and particulatet, thermoluminescent dwimeter i
(TLD) stations icr the saeasurement of direct radiation, and milk anu

vegetaMe sampli.ig locaticns. All air samnling eqdptent at the sele.ted stations was cperational et the tir.e of t le inspection. All TI.Ds vere placed at the mor.itoring stations. Milk and vegetable samples kppeirad to be aveilable at the identifird sampling stelons.
.
4.2 Review of Ann _ual Report The inspector reviewai the Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report for 1 %8. This report provided a comprehensive summary of the results of the REMP atound the Hope Creek / Salem sitc, lso reviewed the and met the Te::htiical Specificat;on reporting requirements.
The inspector a
available 1999 analytical dsta for the REMP.

Based on the above review, the inspector determined that the licensee implemented the quality assuranco program satisfactorily.
The inspector had no questions in this area, 6.2 Review of Analytical Procedures The inspector reviewed the RTL Analytical Manual to determine the analytical capability for REMP samples. The following procedures of the RTL Analytical Manual were reviewed, o Field Sample Collection o Installation and Servicing of Field Monitors and Air Samplers o Radiochemical Analysis of Water and Milk for I-131 o Radiochemical Analysis of Water, Air Particulates, Soil and Sediment, and Milk for Sr 89 and Sr-90 o Calibrations and Performance Checks for Proportional Counters, Gamma Spectrometry System, and Liquid Scintillation Counter.
'
During the review of the above procedures the inspector noted that procedures were upgraded, therefore,in March 1988 to implement the RE had much better procedures now than The inspector also reviewed the calibration results for air samplers and found all the calibration results were within the licensee's acceptance criteria.
