,
The NRC inspectors reviewed the staffing of the C/RS and noted that, since the previous NRC water chemistry / radiochemistry inspection in May.1987, the C/RS had replaced two chemistry technicians and added four new.
chemistry technicians. The four new technicians were currently undergoing shift qualification training. The C/RS perconnel turnover had been approximately 20 percent in the past 12 months This is'a reduction in
-
personnel turnover experienced in the C/RS over the past 3 years.
,
,
No violations.or deviations were identified.
5. -
Training and Qualification (83523/83723).
The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's training and qualification program for C/RS personnel including education and experience, adequacy.
and quality of training, employee knowledge, qualification requirements, new employees, Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) accreditation, and audits and appraisals to determine adherence to commitments in
<
Chapter 12 of the USAR and the requirements in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the TS.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the education and experience backgrounds of the six most recently hired chemistry technicians and determined that they met the qualifications specified in the USAR, TS, and ANSI N18.1-1971.
A
,
review of shift s%ffing indicated that all shifts had a shift chemistry
,
technician meeting sne' qualification requirements of ANSI N18.1-1971.
It was determined that the licensee had an adequately qualified staff to meet shift staffing requirements.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for training and qualification of C/RS personnel including a review of the chemistry training instructors' qualifications, the "Training Program Master Plan for Chemistry," the chemistry technician qualification guide, the chemistry technician continuing training program, selected course lesson plans and performance evaluation checklists, and selected C/RS personnel training records and qualification cards.
It was determined that the chemistry training program had been recently INP0 accredited.
The NRC inspectors reviewed selected C/RS individual staff training records and qualification cards and determined that the four most recently hired chemistry technicians were in the process of completing the required shift qualification training.
No violations or deviations were identified.
6.
Light Water Reactor Chemistry Control and Chemical Analysis (79701/79501)
The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's water chemistry program including establishment and implementation of a water chemistry control program, sampling, facilities and equipment, establishment and implementation of a quality control program for chemical measurements, and r

water chemistry confirmatory measurements to determine adherence to commitments in Chapter 4, 9, 11, and 14 of the USAR and the requirements in Section 2.20, 5.8, and 5.13 of the TS.
The NRC inspectors' review of the water chemistry program found that the licensee had revised and approved standing orders, surveillance procedures, chemical control procedures, instrument calibration and quality control procedures, and analytical procedures.
A review of selected procedures revised and written since the previous NRC inspection in May 1987 indicated that the C/RS had established sufficient programmatic procedures to meet the requirements of the USAR and TS.
The NRC inspectors inspected the facilities and equipment used by the C/RS staff.
The following facilities were inspected:
secondary chemistry laboratory, radiochemistry laboratory, and radiochemistry counting room.
The laboratories and counting room were equipped with the necessary chemicals, reagents, labware, and analytical instrumentation to perform the required analyses.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the final plans for the proposed new chemistry laboratories and office facilities which are to beconstructedadjacenttotheexistingauxiliarybuilding.
The new chemistry and radiochemistry laboratory facilities will provide the much needed additional space to perform routine chemistry and radiochemistry analyses to support plant operation.
The NRC inspectors reviewed selected C/RS procedures for operation, calibration, and quality control of the instrumentation used for analysis of the NRC water chemistry standards to determine the adequacy and effectiveness of the licensee's chemistry measurement quality control program.
It was observed that the licensee was not using two independent standards for calibration and measurement of quality control of chemistry analytical instrumentation.
The licensee could not verify the integrity of the standard solutions.
The licensee had not initiated a program of two independent standard stock solutions prepared from independent
- ources, i.e., different vendors or different stock lots.
This program would include one standard stock solution dedicated for instrument calibration and a second independent standard stock solution dedicated for quality control.
The use of independent standards affords a crosscheck on the stability of the standards and identifies a degenerated standard solution.
It was also observed that the licensee was not using quality control charts to trend quality control data collected from daily or periodic quality control analyses of chemical parameters.
The licensee had also not established criteria to identify, evaluate, and correct data biases in instrument calibration and quality control data and changes or trends in instrument performance.
These observations were discussed with the licensee during the inspection and at the exit interview on Jt.ne 10, 1986. The licensee agreed to evaluate the NRC inspectors' observations and consider actions for program improvements.

Cuality Assurance and Confirmatory Measurements'for In-Plant Radiochemical Analysis (84725/84525)
The NRC inspectors. reviewed the licensee's radiochemical analysis program including procedures, facilities and equipment, and implementation of chemistry control of the reactor coolant system and plant borated water sources to determine adherence to commitments in Chapters 4 and 9 in the USAR and the requirements in Sections 2.1, 3.2, 5.8, and 5.15 of the TS.
The NRC inspectors reviewed selected standing orders and radiochemistry laboratory analytical procedures revised and approved since the previous NRC inspection in May 1987 and determined that the licensee had established and implemented sufficient analytical procedures to meet USAR and TS requirements.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's records for the period January 1987 through May 1988 to determine compliance with TS requirements for sanpling and analysis of the reactor coolant system, safety injection refueling water tank, boric acid storage tanks, safety injection tanks, and spent fuel pool.
The E-Bar data for the period February 1985 through February 1988 was also inspected.
The NRC inspectors verified that all TS required chemistry sampling and analyses of the above listed systems or components had been performed.
The NRC inspectors verified that the PASS equipment and operating procedures satisfied the requirements of NUREG-0737. Item II.B.3, and TS for representative sampling and analysis of reactor coolant and containment atmosphere following a reactor incident.
The licensee had completed PASS operator training as part of shift qualification training for chemistry technicians and established a requalification training program on PASS which was being conducted annually.
The licensee had implemented an in-line instrument calibration and preventative maintenance program in compliance with TS requirements.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the in-line instrument preventative maintenance records.
The licensee
,
demonstrated PASS operability by collecting a sample of reactor coolant and performing analyses including gamma isotopic, boron, and dissolved hydrogen and comparing the results of these analyses with reactor coolant grab sample analyses results.
The isotopic and boron results compared L

,
,
.
,
were.in agreement.
The'results of the dissolved hydrogen analysis appeared to have procedural calculation concerns.
These calculational concerns were identified by the licensee and an evaluation of the calculational method was initiated during the inspection. -The licensee also collected and analyzed a containment atmosphere sample for isotopic
,
, content..The isotopic results compared were-in agreement.
The NRC inspectors provided the licensee with a PASS boron standard for confirmatory measurement.
The PASS instrumentation analyzed the boron i
standard giving a satisfactory result.
It was determined that the-licensee's equipment, procedures, analytical sensitivities, and analytical results.of chemistry and radiochemistry-parameters were consistent with PASS requirements.
The licensee had established and implemented a PASS operational monitoring program.
However, the results of'this monitoring
'
program were not well documented and a more structured pro 0 ram to demonstrate complete operability of the PASS upon demand needs to be developed and implemented. This observation was discussed with the licensee during the inspection and at the exit interview on June 10, 1988.
The licensee agreed-to develop and implement an operational monitoring program of the N SS which would check the operability of all PASS
functions on a routine frequency, i.e., quarterly.
During the inspection, radiological confirmatory measurements were attempted.
However, due to instrument malfunctions experienced in the Region IV mobile laboratory this portion of the inspection has been postponed and will be rescheduled and completed at a later date.
No violations or deviations were identified.

Contractor Activities (84725/84525)
The licensee uses a contractor laboratory to perform TS required radiochemistry analyses on radioactive effluent composite samples.
The licensee's program for oversight of contractor laboratory activities and the quality control of analyticel measurements by the contractor laboratory were reviewed to verify adherance to the requirements in
'
Section 3.12 and 5.9.4 of the TS and agreement with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.15.
The licensee performs vendor audits triannually with annual evaluations to retain current status on OPPD's routine supplier's list.
The NRC insoectors reviewed the audit performed on the licensee's contractor laboratory in February 1988 and verified that the contractor had been approved for the required TS analyses and placed on the current routino supplier's list.
However, it was noted that the audit team did not include a member or technical specialist tnined in chemistry / radiochemistry activities at nuclear power facilities.
Confirmatory measurements were performed by the licensee's contractor laboratory on a liqu H radiochecistry sample prepared by the Radiological Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
The
analytical results were compared to the known sample activities and the results of the comparisons are presented in Attachment 4 of this report.
The laboratory's results were in agreement with the certified activities for Sr-90 and in disagreement with the activities for H-3, Sr-89, and Fe-55.
Further review of FCS's contractor laboratory's performance on RESL samples indicated that FCS Sr-89 and Fe-55 results have been in disagreement on both the 1986 and 1987 RESL samples.
The disagreements were discussed with the licensee during the exit interview on June 10, 1988, and the licensee agreed to evaluate the performance of their contractor laboratory on analyzing samples for Sr-89 and Fe-55.
No violations or deviations were identified.

CBlIEB10_EQB_CQUE0810G_000LXIICOL_DE95WBEDEUIS This attachment provides criteria for comparing results of capability tests.
in these criteria the judgement limits are based on the uncertainty of the ratio of the licensee's value to the NRC value.
The following steps are performed:
(1)
The ratio of the licensee's value to the NRC value is computed Licensee's Value
); and (ratio
=
NRC VALUE (2)
the uncertainty of the ratio is propagated.
If the absolute value of one minus the ratio is less than or equal to twice the ratio uncertainty, the results are in agreement.
