Licensee Action on Previous Ins ection Findin s
(Closed)
Unresolved item (50-323/78-05):
FSAR section 6.2.5 and figure 6.2-15 have been amended to show the use of silver zeolite or charcoal absorbers in the containment hydrogen purge system rather than charcoal.
The system was installed with a silver zeolite absorber.
This item is considered closed.
Emer enc Plannin
- Tests and Drills The licensee plans to conduct a test or drill of the emergency plan shortly before Unit 1 fuel loading.
Ho items of noncompliance or, deviations. were "identified.
Radiati.on Protection - Staffin The Radiation and Process Monitor (RPM) selection to bring the staff to a total of eight has been completed.
At the time of the inspection, training of the additions to the staff was approximately 50/ complete.
Three additional positions for RPM's have been announced and selection is in progress.
This will raise the RPM staff to a total of eleven.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Radiation Protection - Res irator Protection The inspector discussed and reviewed the procedures developed by the licensee for the implementation of a respiratory protection program.
The procedures consist of Radiation Control Standards (RCS) issued by the Manager, Steam Generation Department, for
company wide implementation and Radiation Control Procedures (RCP)
and Administrative Procedures (AP) issued by the Plant Superintendent for implementation at Diablo Canyon.
The procedures prepared in support of the respiratory protection program are as follows:
RCS No.
RCS No.
RCS No.
RCS No.
AP B-251 RCP D-4 RCP G-3 RCP G-8 RCP G'-9 RCP G-10 RCP S-l Internal Exposure Controls Control of Access Medical Radiation Monitoring Respirator Training Program Respiratory Protection Equipment Cleaning and Inspection at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Internal Exposure Control Measurement of Airborne Radioactivity Use of Respiratory Equipment for Protection Against Airborne Radioactive Materials Use of Constant Flow Air Line Respirators at Diablo Canyon Power Plant Plant Airborn'e Radioactive Surveillance The inspector verified that the procedures appropriately addressed the following sections of Regulatory Guide 8.15, Sections C.1-5 and 7, and six of the "additional technical items" in Section C-8.
Section C-6 relates to the use of equipment for which no schedule of approval has been established.
The licensee has not proposed the use of such equipment.
The licensee has purchased repair and test equipment from the respirator equipment supplier.
The supplier's-representative will train licensee personnel in respiratory equipment repair and main-tenance.
A total of approximately 25 SCBA devices will be available for emergency fire and control room use and in support of radiation protection activities.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie Radiation, Protection - Procedures The inspector examined the following Radiation Control Standards during the inspection:
No.
Personnel Exposure No.
Personnel Contamination Control No.
Control of Radioactive llaterials.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Radiation Protection Neutron Monitor'in The inspector discussed the licensee's plans for personnel neutron monitoring.
Film badges containing NTA film and neutron pocket ionization chambers will be used.
Rem meter surveys and stay time calculations will also be used.
After operations begin, the licensee may retain a consultant for containment neutron energy measurements to relate rem meter and personnel dosimeter response.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Radioactive Maste - f1easurement
.C. - Audits Inspection Report 50-323/78-05 noted that the plant laboratory had been designated as a "Approved Laboratory" by the State of California in support of the analytical requirements'f the NPDES permit.
The licensee submitted a company wide analytical measurement g.A.
program to the State of California which addresses personnel qualifi-cations, records and record retention, measurements and analyses (restricted to EPA approved'tests,and-methods)
and instrumentation (type, and response to off-normal operation and maintenance).
The Sanitation and Radiation Laboratory, California State Department of Health.
has approved the plant laboratory for all analyses required by the NPDES permit with the exception of cyanide.
The approved laboratory g.A. program, which requires duplicate or spike sample analysis on every tenth sample, has been implemented.
Audit No.

"D.C.P.P.
Chemistry Laboratory g.A. Program for NPDES Permit,
"November 8-10, 1978, evaluated the existing g.A. program and determined the degree of implementation.
The audit identified a number of items for which corrective actions were required.
Cor-rective action had been completed and verified on all items.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identifie The inspector verified through discussions with the licensee that channel 2-R-24, Plant Vent Iodine Monitor, incorporates a
Compton background subtraction capability to reduce the possibility of false high iodine values.
During a plant tour, the inspector observed that the sample line to the Plant Vent Iodine tlonitor (2-R-24)
had been lagged.
IE Inspection Report 50-323/77-10 reported that this line-had been heat traced but not lagged.
Ho items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
