The inspector also interviewed other licensee employees.
2.0 Management Controls The inspector reviewed the licensee's n.anagement controls for the l
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) including an assignment of responsibility and program audits.
'
2.1 Assignment of Responsibility i
The inspector reviewed the organization for administration of the REMP and discussed with the licensee any changes made since the last inspection in
'
November 1988.
The inspector determined that the REMP remains the same as it was al. the time of the last inspection in thh area.
2.2 Audit
'
The inspector reviewed the quality assurance (QA) audit results (Audit

1989.
This audit covered the areas of the TheInspectornotedthattherewereno(ODCM),findingsintheareasofREMP REMP audit i
l and ODCM requiring iicensee action or followup.
The inspector also noted
i that the audit was perfcrmed by qualified auditors, and was quite thorough
'
and of sufficient technical depth to assess the REMP.
The inspector had no
!
further questions in this area.

this inspection. All radiological environmental sample analyses were
,
performed by the Chemical Engineering and Test Laboratory of the Electrical
!
Test Department. This laboratory has responsibility to collect REMP
samples, and perform calibrations of the air samplers and meteorological
instruments.
The inspector toured the analytical laboratory, including i
the REMP sample preparation room, radiological counting laboratory, and TLD irradiation room.
!
r The inspector reviewed quality control data for source checks and l
liquid scintillation unckgrounds for the gamma spectrometry systems, l counter including QC counter, and low background gas flow proportiona control charts. The inspector also reviewed interlaboratory comparisons Lincluding EPA cross checks and with the licensee's QC contractor

acceptance criteria with the exception of a few results. These anomalous i
results were investigated and resolved by the licensee. The inspector had
'
no further questions in this area.

4.0 Implementation of the REMP 4.1 Direct Observation Tho inspector examined approximately 95% of the REMP sampling stations including air samplers for iodines and vegetable sampling j
locations and TLD stations for the mea particulatesurementofdirectradiation. All l
air sampling equipment at the stations was operational at the time of the inspection. Vegetables were available at the sampling locations, and TLDs i
.
were placed at the designated monitoring stations.
'
4.2 Review t f Annual Reports The inspector reviewed the annual reports for 1987 and 1988. These reports provided thorough summaries of the environmental sampling and analyses.

The inspector noted that the licensee identified dairy cows at 4.8 kin from
)
the plant release point during the " Land Use Survey" conducted in 1988.
The inspector noted that there were no dairy cows identified in the 1987
annual report. The inspector therefore, visited the dairy farm and

verifiedthattherewereaboul10dairycowscurrentlygrazingatthis
location. The inspector discussed with the licensee the milk sampling and
iodine analysis at this station.
The inspector found that the licensee had already implemented the milk sampling and laboratory analysis of milk for iodine.
The addition of the milk sampling to the REMP will be incorporated in the very near future.
The inspector also reviewed the available 1989 analytical data for the REMP and intralaboratory and interlaboratory comparisons.
No violations were i
identified in this area.
.
4.3 Review of Other Reports The inspector reviewed the following special reports relate to the REMP.
o Wind Flows and Dispersion Conditions at Calvert Cliffs, September, 1985 o Remarks on Environmental Radioactivity following the Chernobyl (
Reactor Accident, April, 1987
o Using Chernobyl High Altitude Source Terms to Evaluate the Magnitude l
of the Past Troposheric Nuclear Events, April,1987
'
o Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Routine Operation, REMP Perspective, May 1989
,
The above reports were prepared by the Environmental Scientist who has
!
responsibility for REMP and published by the Environmental Programs,
,
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company. The inspector stated that these l
l reports were excellent in terms of their reflection of the implementation
-
I of the REMP on a broad scope and in the utilization of the technical
'
expertise in this area.
5.0 Meteorological Monitoring The inspector reviewed Procedure STP-M-461-0, licensee performed all the' Meteor l
and the most recent calibration results. The
L meteorological calibrations through the Chemical Engineering and Test it group, with the exception of the anemometers, which are calibrated by the l
National Institute of Science and Technology.
The calibrations were
.
performed semiannually as required by the Technical Specifications. All calibration results were within the licensee's acceptance criteria.
