A tabulation of the sample results from the inspection of July 22, 30, 31 and August 1, 1975 (Report No. 50-289/75-16),

indicate that three measurements were in agreement with the reference laboratory, and one measurecent in disagreement.

Management Interview

-

The results of these analyses were discussed with the licensee in tele-phone conversations of November 11, 1975.

The licensee stated that the method of tritium measurement would be examined regarding the dist; illa-

.. Z

]

tion of the sample prior to counting.

The inspector stated that because

,

of the low levels of Sr-89 and Sr-90 in the verification samples, the

'

- - - =

licensee will be required to analyze a standard Srvj9, Sr-90 sa=ple sup-plf.ed by NRC.

(Details, Paragraph 1)

The inspector stated that these actions would be. reviewed in the next

=M Independent Measurements inspection.

Results of Verification Test Samples

.

This inspection showed three of the licensee's measurements were

[.!

-

acceptable under the test criteria used by the Office of Inspection ii::

and Enforcement for co= paring test results (see attach ent).

However,

-

one of the licensee's measurements was not acceptable under the t'est n

criteria.

The type of sample tested and the results of measurement

.

were:

Attachment 1

.*

.

Criteria for Co= caring Analytical Measurements

. _,

This attachment provides criteria for comparing results of capability tests and verification measurements.

The criteria are based on an

-

empirical reldtionship which combines prior experience and the accuracy

,

g..

needs of this program.

-

.

,

In these criteria, the judgement limits are variable in relation to the ie,. =

comparison of the NRC Reference Laboratory's value to its associated gj(=

uncertainty.

As that ratio, referred to 11 this program as " Resolution.",

increases the acceptability of a licensee's measurement should be more

~'

selective.

Conversely, poorer agreement uust be considered acceptable as the resolution decreases.

-

Tritium analyses of liquid samples.

"B" criteria are applied to the following analyses:

.

Gamma Spectrometry where principal gam =a energy used for identification is less than 250 Kev.

89Sr and 90Sr Determinations.

Gross Beta where sample.s are counted on the came date using the same reference nuclide.
