ef fluent control programs including management controls, gaseous and liquid Areas Inspected:
Routine, unannounced inspection of the calibration of effluent and process monitors, ventilation systems, ODCM, and implementation of the above programs.
Results:- Within the areas inspected, no violations were identified however, an unresolved item was identified relative to the calibration of effluent monitors (Section 6.0. The licensee was implementing gaseous and liquid effluent control progr)ams that met the requirements of the Technical Specifications and control procedures.

The ins)ector also interviewed other licensee employees including members of the Electric & Control (E&C) staff, engineering staff, and chemistry staff during this inspection.
2.0 Purpose The purpose of this routine inspection was to review the licensee's ability to control and quantify radioactive liquids, gases, and particulates during-normal and emergency operations.
3.0 Management Controls 3.1 Program Changes l
The inspector reviewed the organization for administration of the effluent controls and discussed with the licensee any changes made since the last i
inspection in December, 1988. The inspector determined that the effluent l
controls program had not changed since the time of the last inspection.in L
this area.

3.2 Audits
The in,spector reviewed the results of a quality assurance audit documented in A # Report Number 89-06. This audit covered the areas of the Offsite Dose titculation Manual (0DCM), gaseous release permits, liquid release permits surveillance o-annual reports,ffluents.and Technical Specification compliance and semi f unmonitored e The inspector noted that the audit was performed by qualified auditors and' appeared to be a thorough assessment of the effluent controls program. The audit identified a number of findings; none of safety significance.
The licensee was responding to these findings. The inspector also noted that the licensee was using a tracking system for the open items. The inspector had no further questions in this area.
3.3 Review of Semiannual Reports The inspector reviewed the Semiannual Effluent Reports for 1988 and the
first half of 1989. These reports provided total released radioactivity j
for liquid and gaseous effluents including projected radiation dose to the
public. Through review of these reports, the inspector determined that the licensee met the Technical Specification requirements.
No violations were noted.
j 4.0 Liquid Effluent Controls The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures to determine the
!
implementation of the following Technical Specification (TS) requirements for both units, o 'TS 3 4.11.1.1, "Li uid Effluents, Concentration"
[
o TS 3 4.11.1.2, "Li uid Effluents, Dose" o TS 3 4.11.1.3, "Li uid Radwaste Treatment System" i
o TS 3 4.11.4 " Tota Dose" o TS 6.17, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (0DCM)"
The inspector reviewed selected liquid discharge permits including associated procedures,he licensee analyzed grab samples of the liquid analytical data, and dose assessment results. The
.i inspector noted that t
radwaste before the releases were initiated. The pre-release analytical results were used for the dose assessment. The licensee also took composite samples during releases of the liquid radwaste and analyzed the composite samples for dose assessment to assure compliance with the Technical Specifications. The inspector stated that this method was good because a composite sample was more representative of the liquid radwaste than a grab sample. The inspector had no further questions in this are j.-

5.0 Gaseous Effluent Controls
!
The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures to determine the implementation of the following Technical Specifications (TS) for both units, o TS 3 4.11.2.1, " Gaseous Effluents, Dose Rate" o TS 3 4.11.2.2, " Dose-Noble Gases" o TS 3 4.11.2.3, " Dose-Iodine-131 and Radionuclides in Particulate

Form"
!
o TS 3 4.11.2.4, " Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System"
o TS 3 4.11'.2.5, " Explosive Gas Mixture"
!
o TS 3 4.11.2.6 " Gas Stora o TS 3 4/11.4. 3 Total Dose"ge Tanks"
,
'
o TS 6.17, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)"
The inspector reviewed selected gaseous discharge permits including i
associated procedures analytical data, and dose assessment results.
The ins)ector found that fhe licensee followed procedures to comply with the Tec1nical Specification requirements. No violations were identified in this area.
6.0 Calibration of Effluent and Process Monitors The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures and the most recent
'
calibration results for both units to determine the implementation of the-Technical Specification requirements for the following moniturs.
o Containment Area Monitors o Containment High Range Radiation Monitors o Containment Atmospheric Radiation Monitors o Wide Range Noble Gas Monitoring System o Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors o Steam Generator Blowdown Discharge Monitors
,
o Main Vent Gaseous Effluent Monitor o Liquid Effluent Monitor The inspector noted that the licensee was not able to retrieve the most recent calibration results for the Waste Gas Holdup) System Monitor (RI-2191 and the Liquid Discharge Monitor The licensee stated that Proc)edure STP-M-567-0, " Radiological /En(RI-2201.
vironmental Technical Specifications (RETS)," was used to calibrate the above two effluent monitors. These monitors were the common effluent monitors for both units.
The licensee stated that the monitors were calibrated in 1988 as documented by the E&C Department Calibration Log and the Shift Supervisor's Log.
The inspector verified that the logs indicated that the monitors were calibrated on May 27, 1988 using Procedure STP-M-567-0 ho calibration results were not available for the inspection. wever, the actual The licensee

stated that the calibration results mi during the licensee's review process. ght have been inadvertently misplaced-i The inspector stated that this was an unresolved item pending retrieval of the calibration results and -
'
subsequent review by the NRC. (50-317/89-29-01; 50-318/89-31-01)itors, The inspector reviewed calibration results of these two effluent mon performed on June 17, 1986, and found them to be within the licensee's
'
acceptance criteria.
During the review of calibration results of other monitors the inspector notedthatthelicenseehadperformedmaintenanceandrepalrsfrequentlyin order to meet the licensee's acceptance criteria.
The inspector held discussions with the licensee regarding the radiation monitoring systems that were evaluated el documented in a report entitled " Radiation Monitoring System Upgrade Scoping Document" dated September 14, 1989.
TheinspectorrevIewedthisreportandnoted,thattherecentlyinitiated Radiation Monitoring System Upgrade Project appeared to be taking the right approach and promised to yield excellent results.
The inspector had no further questions in this area.
7.0 Ventilation Systems The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures to determine the implementatit,n of the following Technical Specification (TS) requirements for both units.
o TS 3 4.6.3, " Containment, Iodine Removal System" o TS 3 4.6.6, " Penetration Room Exhaust Air Filtration S,y' stem" o TS 3 4.7.6, " Control Room Emergency Ventilation System o TS 3 4.7.7, "ECCS Pump Room Exhaust Air Filtration System" o TS 3 4.9.12, " Spent Fuel Pool Ventilation System" The inspector also reviewed the most recent test results.
Reviewed test results were air flow capacity, visual inspection, pressure drop, in-place tests for HEPA and charcoal beds, and laboratory tests. The above test results reviewed by the -inspector were within the Technical Specification requirements The inspector noted that the licensee had a good understanding of test purposes and current industry practices.
The inspector had no further questions in this area.
,
L 8.0 Unresolved Item Unresolved items require more information to determine their acceptability,
,
j and one such item is discussed in Section 6.0 of this inspection report, 9.0 Exit Interview g
