procedures are being revised to include measuraments along

}

the restricted area fence.

It uas estimated that these procedures should be completed and approved by early Octcher,

-

1975.

2.

Monitoring Instruments a.

Inventory The instrumentation used to monitor radioactive releases was examined. Monitoring instrumentation consists of survey team equipment contained in the emergency kits and the plant stack monitor (RE 7400)

Survey team equipment is located at the Emergency Control Center and Emergency Assembly Area. Each kit includes a GM type detector, a count rate meter, and a sample counting chamber.

The stack monitor (RE 7400) includes two NaI detectors and

,

l associated display meters and strip chart recorders. The i

stack monitor read-out systems are located in the centrol

'

'

g room.

are calibrated each quarter.

In reviewing calibration i

procedure No. 1602.19, it was noted that the conitors designated to analyze air samples were not calibrated in the same configuration as would the case under emergency counting conditions. Under the present pro-

,

cedures, the survey team meters are calibrated in the same manner as other meters used for routine plant surveys.

.

A licensee representative stated that emergency survey meter calibration procedure will be modified to include calibration of the sampler holder, deteccor, and count rate meter as one unit.

' Criteria for Comparing Analytical Measurements The following is the criteria used in comparing the results of capability tests and verification measurements. The criteria are based on an ecpirical relationship established through prior experience and this program's analytical requirements.

In these criteria, the judgement limits vary in relation to the comparison of the resolution.

.

Resolution = NRC Value NRC Uncertainty Ratio = Licensee Value NRC Value Comparisons are made by first determining the resolution and then reading across on the same line to the corresponding ratio. The following table shows the acceptance values.
