3.0 Chemistry The organizational structure in the chemistry department was reviewed for Unit 1. The Chemistry Manager has the overall responsibility and authority for the program. The licensee's radiochemistry program was reviewed through discussions with chemistry personr.el, review of applicable procedures and surveillance records. Portions of the program pertaining to effluent release data and permits were recently reviewed by the inspector in NRC Region I Inspection No. 289/88-09. Procedures reviewed included:

• SP 1301-4.9, "Liquid Continuous Release Composite, Weekly, Monthly and Quarterly"

• SP 1301-6.3, "Waste Evaporator Condensate Storage Tank Sampling"

• SP 1301-5.9, "Cond iser Vacuum Pump Release Sampling"

• SP 1301-3, "Reactor Coolant Chemistry and Activity"

• N-1857, "Liquid Waste Disposal System Sampling"

!

• N-1853, "Sampling of Waste Gas Decay Tanks" These procedures addressed sampling surveillance All analyses were found completed for 1987 and 198 No violations were found in this are .0 Radiation Monitoring System The inspector reviewed the gaseous and liquid effluent radiation monitoring system (RMS) with respect to Technical Specification requirements for calibration and function / channel check The inspector reviewed selected procedures and accompanying records for calibration and surveillance activities and found them satisfactory. The inspector also reviewed the following procedures

• SP 1303-4.15 A, "RMS Monthly Test, Atmospheric Channels"

• SP 1303-4.15 B, "RMS Monthly Test, Licuid Channels"

• SP 1302-3.1, "RMS Calibration"

• OP 1101-2.1, "RMS Setpoints" for adequacy cnd conformance to Technical Specification _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ____
