Followup on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Open Item (298/8227-03):
Radiochemistry Training - This item has been discussed in NRC Inspection Reports 50-298/82-27, 50-298/83-30, 50-298/84-19, and 50-298/86-09 and involved the concern that the licensee had not developed and implemented a formal training and requalification program for radiochemistry personnel.
The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's chemistry training program description, training schedule, selected lesson plans, and job performance measures for chemistry technician job tasks outlined on the chemistry technician qualification card.
The NRC inspectors determir,ed that the licensee had developed and was implementing a chemistry training program designed to meet the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations accreditation criteria.
This item is considered closed.

ATTACHMENT 1 Analytical Measurements 1.
Water Chemistry Confirmatory Measurements -
l
.
During the inspection, standard chemical solutions were provided to the licensee for analysis.
The standard. solutions were prepared by the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Safety and Environmental Protection Division, for the NRC.
The standards were analyzed by the licensee using routine methods and equipment.
The analysis of chemical standards is used to verify the licensee's capability to monitor chemical parameters in various plant systems with respect to Technical Specification requirements and other industry standards.
In addition, the analysis of standards is used to evaluate the licensee's analytical procedures with respect to accuracy and precision.
The results of the measurements comparison are listed in Attachment 2.
Attachment 3 contains the criteria used to compare results.
All standards were analyzed in triplicate.
The licensee's original analytical results indicated that 27 of the 33 results were in agreement.
The sodium result which was originally found in disagreement was reran and the analysis result was-in agreement. The analysis result for the high concentration of nickel was in disagreement due to the instrument calibration based on 1.0 ppm and the calibration curve not linear at concentrations greater than 2.0 ppm.
The analysis results for chromium were in disagreement due to a bad element lamp.
The licensee's final analytical results indicated that 28 of the 33 results were in agreement.
As part of the inspection, actual condensate demineralized effluent samples were spiked with metals and anions and split between the licensee and the NRC in order to verify the licensee's measurement capabilities on actual plant water samples.
The analyses will be performed by the licensee using their normal analytical methods and instrumentation and by BNL for the NRC Region IV office.
On completion of the analyses by both laboratories, the results will be compared by the NRC Region IV inspectors and the intercomparison results will be documented in a subsequent NRC inspection report.

.-
The confirmatory measurements tests consisted of comparing measurements made by the licensee and the NRC mobile laboratory.
The.NRC's mobile laboratory measurements are referenced to the National Bureau of Standards by laboratory intercomparisons.
Confirmatory measurements are made only for those nuclides identified by the NRC as being present in concentrations greater than 10 percent of the respective isotopic values for liquid'and gas concentrations as stated in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II. Attachment 5 contains the criteria used to compare results.
At the time of the inspection, the licensee utilized two detectors for routine isotopic analysis of radioactive samples and for comparison with the NRC results. The chemistry / radiochemistry section maintains detector (1) and the health physics section maintains detector (2). -The analytical results from both detectors were compared with the NRC results.
The licensee performed the tritium analysis on their liquid scintillation counting system.
The individual sample analyses and comparison of analytical results of the radiological confirmatory measurements are tabulated in Attachment 4.
The licensee's gamma isotopic results from the listed samples in Attachment 4 showed 100 percent agreement with the NRC analysis results.
The licensee's tritium result on the condensate demineralized effluent sample was in agreement with the NRC analysis result.
Confirmatory measurements were performed by the licensee on a liquid radiochemistry' sample prepared by the Radiological Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
The sample was provided to the licensee in April 1986.
The licensee's analytical results were compared to the known sample activities and the results of the comparisons are presented in Attachment 4, sample 8.
The licensee's results for the 1986 RESL samples were in 83 percent agreement.
