Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings l
(Closed) Inspector Followup Item (317/85-14-01; 318/85-12-01):
QC Control chart for gamma spectrometry (FWHM).
The inspector re m wed QC control charts of gamma spe::trometry including FWHM at 1332 kev for 1986 and 1987 and found them satisfactory.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (317/85-14-02; 318/85-12-02):
ANSI N545-1975 test requirements for environmental TLD. The inspector reviewed the performance test results required by ANSI N545-1975 and found them satisfactory. The test items were uniformity, reproducibility, length of field exposure (30 days), energy dependence, light dependence, moisture dependence, and self irradiation.
(Closed)
Inspector Followup Item (317-85-14-03; 318/85-12-03):
Anemometer calibration. The inspector reviewed anemometer calibration l
results; five MRI anemometer Models 1074-12 Serial Nos. 642, 641, 797, 1105, 1106 and one Beckman and Whitley Modei 1564B Cup Anemometer, Serial No. 187. All anemometers met Regulatory Guide 1.23 requirement that the starting wind speed should be less than 1 mph.
3.
Management Controls The inspector reviewed the licensee's management controls for the.
radiological environmental monitoring programs (REMP), including assign-ment of responsibility, program audits, and corrective actions for identified inadequacies and problem areas in the program.

a.
Assignment of Responsibility l
The inspector reviewed the organization for administration of the.
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs (REMP) and discussed with the licensee any changes made since the last inspection of this area. The inspector determined that the REMP remains essentially the same as it was at the time of the last inspection in this area.
b.
Audits l
The inspector reviewed the following audits of the REMP which are
^
required by Section 6.5.2.8.1.K of Technical Specifications: QAG 42.2 dated December 9, 1985, and QAG 42.2-86-31 dated August 20, 1986.
The inspector noted the above referenced audits to be very thorough,
'
and audit-identified deficiency followups were excellent.
The audit
was performed by a qualified lead auditor, and appeared to be quite thorough and of sufficient technical depth to adequately assess the REMP.
4.
Licensee Program for Quality Control of Analytical Measurements The inspectors reviewed the licensee's program for quality control of-analytical measurements for tne radiological analysis of environmental riiedi a. All environmental radiological analyses were performed by the Chemical Engineering & Test Section. Laboratory of the Electrical Test
,
Department. The licensee participated in the U.S. Environmental L
Protection Agency Crosscheck Program for radiological analyses of j
t environmental media.
The inspector also reviewed quality control data of source check'and background for gamma spectrometry, liquid scintillation counter, and
)
i proportional counter including control charts, The inspector had no further questions in this area at the time of this inspection.
5.
Implementation of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program The inspector examined selected environmental monitoring stations includ-ing air sampier for iodines and particulate, vegetable garden, and TLDs
.
for direct radiation measurement. All equipment at these stations was operational at the time of the inspection.
The_ inspector reviewed the annual reports for 1985 and 1986. These annual reports provided thorough-summaries of the environmental sampling and analyses. Sampling frequencies and analytical results for airborne pathways, ingestion pathways, and direct radiation
measurements were reviewed and performances were adequate.

Environmental Dosimetry
.,
i The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Direct Radiation Monitoring Network is operated by the NRC (Region I) to provide continuous measure-ment of the ambient radiation levels around nucleer power plants, (71 sites) tro oughout the United States.
Each site is monitored by arranging approximately 30 to 50 thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) stations in two concentric rings extending to about five miles from the power plant. The
]
monitoring results are published in NUREG-0837 quarterly.
One of the purposes of this program is to serra as a basis of comparison with similar programs conducted by individual utilities which operate nuclear power plants. Therefore, four NRC TLDs are collocated with each j
licensee's TLD stations.
During this inspection the monitoring results I
of collocated TLDs were compared and the results are listed-in Table 1-
{
attached.
All NRC exposures are normalized to a 90-day' quarter. The
]
licensee monitors the environmental radiation level using TLDs monthly, i
Therefore, all results were normalized to a 90-day quarter for the comparison.
Although there are some differences between the NRC and the licensee's j
programs, results are generally in good agreement.
It must be emphasized j
that the collocated TLDs are not necessarily monitoring the same station, q
two-tenths of a mile apart is not unusual.
7.
Meteorological Monitoring The inspector reviewed selected records of calibrations of the meteor-i ological instruments, and found that these had been performed on a semiannual basis as required by Technical Specifications. The inspector noted that the licensee performs its own calibrations, with the exception
)
of the anemometers, which are calibrated by the National Bureau of Standards under contract. All calibration records of anemometers met the Regulatory Guioe 1.23 recommendation which the starting speed should be
,
less than 1 mph.
8.
Exit Interview On July 14 and 17, 1987, the inspector met with licensee representatives denoted in Paragraph 1 at the Calvert Cliffs site-in Lusby, Maryland, and
,
at the licensee's facilities in Baltimore, Maryland, respectively.
During these meetings, the inspectors summarized the purpose, scope, and findings of this inspection. At no time during this inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspector.
