Environmental and Spr.cial Projects Section Fuel Facility and Me.terials Safety Branch Inspection Summary Inspection on July 20-22, 1977 Report No. 50-302/77-12)
,
Areas Inspected: Radiological environmental monitoring program including;
management controls, inspection of environmental stations, annual environ-mental report results and supporting data, analytical sensitivity of radiological environmental samples, quality control measures and review of radiological environmental procedures. The inspection involved 40 inspector-hours on site by two NRC inspectors.
Results: Of the six areas inspected, no items of noncompliance were found in four areas; two apparent items of noncompliance were found in two areas -(deficiencies) - failure to collect samples on prescribed frequency and failure to meet analytical sensitivites on environmental
'
samples.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings None 3.
Unresolved items No additional inresolved items were identified during this inspection.
4.
Management controls An inspector reviewed the existing program for control and a.
responsibility of the radiological environmental monitoring i
program, in accordance with ETS section 5.3.
As of July 1977, corporate QA had not yet performed an audit of ETS implementa-
,
tion; however, the inspector noted that an audit has been scheduled for the third quarter of 1977. Corporate QA personnel have also made arrangements to perform audits during 1977 of vendor operations supplying services to implement the environmental radiological monitoring program. The inspector also reviewed QP 18.5 Revision 3, that outlines the procedure l
for QA audits and their documentation. It appears that the QA t
a program is adequate to implement section 5.3 of the environ-
[O i
mental radiological technical specifications. The inspectors had no further questions.

b.
The inspectors expressed concern over numerous errors identified in the 1976 annual radiological environmental monitoring
.
results. The inspectors stated that the 1976 report apparently had no careful review. The licensee stated that the individual responsible for review of the data was involved in training during the preceding three months. The licensee further stated that the 1977 annual environmental radiological monitor-ing data would be carefully reviewed and errors would be
.
identified and corrected. The licensee also stated that an individual will be assigned to perform trend analysis of the data. This area will be reexamined during a subsequent inspection.
c.
The inspectors expressed concern over the time delay involved from generation of environmental sample data by University of Florida personnel and review by FPC personnel.
In 1976 a one year delay was experienced and as of July 1977 no 1977 data was available for review. The licensee agreed to develop a program whereby FPC receives data on a timely basis from the University of Florida. This item will remain open pending i
j generation of an acceptable program, d.
The inspectors noted that FPC had not formally approved state of Florida radiological environmental procedures as specified
in section 5.3 of the ETS. The licensee stated that the l
procedures had been reviewed and a letter from FPC to the state of Florida stating such, was reviewed by the inspector.
i The licensee further stated that formal approval sheets would be attached to the procedures. The inspectors had no further
'
questions.
5.
Inspection of Environmental Monitoring Stations a.
The licensee's air particulate and charcoal sampling stations j
were inspected and found to be in apparent operable conditions.
Licensee representatives were informed that the tubing in use on one air monitoring station was partially collapsed and it was also noted that one TLD was on the ground near the base of it's mounting post. It appeared that this portion of the
licensee's operational radiological environmental sampling
l program was in accordance with Technical Specification, Section 3.2 and Table 3.2-2.
Licensee representatives stated that minor problems such as the tubing and displaced TLD will
,
be corrected.
l b.
The inspectors noted that the University of Florida did not i
have a procedure for calibration of air flow measuring equip-ment located in the environmental air monitoring stations.
The licensee agreed to have the University of Florida generate

ing equipment. The inspectors had no further questions.
i 6.
Annual Environmental Radiological Report and Supporting Data j
a.
An inspector reviewed the annual environmental radiological report along with supporting data and compared sample frequency and location, against section 3.2 Table 3.2-2 of the Environ-mental Technical Specifications. The inspector also reviewed
'
the results for anomalies, trends and their interpretation.
b.
The inspector,s noted that during the month of December,1976 sea water samples were apparently not taken at stations 14M and 14G. There'were no explanatory notes in the annual report.
This finding represent apparent noncompliance with section 3.2 Table 3.2-2 of the facility environmental technical specifications.
c.
The inspectors noted that anomalous vegetation results contained
,
in the 1976 environmental report had not been identified or reviewed by FPC personnel. Licensee personnel agreed to have contractors develop procedure by which all anomalous results
,
are identified and transmitted to FPC. The inspectors had no
further questions.
7.
Analytical Sensitivity of Environmental Sample Measurements An inspector reviewed 1976 environmental radiological sample results and found numerous samples that did not meet the required analytical sensitivities. Following are selected examples:
Sample Isotope Required LLD Actual Annual LLD Vegetation K-40 30 pCi/kg 1310 pCi/kg Vegetation HN-54 10 pCi/kg 150 pCi/kg Vegetation CO-58 15 pCi/kg 150 pCi/kg Vegetation CD-60 20 pCi/kg 150 pCi/kg Vegetation ZN-65 20 pCi/kg 360 pci/kg Soil K-40 30 pCi/kg 214 pCi/kg Fish / Meat / Poultry K-40 30 pCi/kg 650 pC1/kg Fish / Meat / Poultry ZN-65 20 pCi/kg 61 pCi/kg Fish / Meat / Poultry ZR-95 20 pCi/kg 40 pCi/kg
'
This finding represents apparent noncompliance with Section 3.2.2,
,
Table 3.2-5 of the Environmental Technical Specifications.

Quality Control Measures An inspector reviewed the quality control programs for the State of Florida and the University of Florida. The QC programa for both groups included provisions for intercomparision with outside groups and specific procedures for actions to be taken should results
'
" fall" outside of predetermined acceptance limits. The overall QC programs appear adequate to implement Section 3.2 of the Environ-mental Technical Specifications.
9.
Review of Environmental Radiological Procedures
'
The following procedures were reviewed by an inspector.
State of Florida University of Florida Quality Control Sea Water Annual Garden Census Potable Water Semi-annual Dairy Anima.1. Census Milk Vegetation Bottom Sediment There were no further questions by the inspector.
