Implementation of Preoperational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program The inspector conducted a detailed status review of the preoperational a.
radiological environmental monitoring program to verify the imple-mentation thereof and to assess its compliance with the program commitments defined in Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report (Operating License Stage).
Program status review included the following:
(1) insr.ectina of monitoring and sampling stations including the availability, maintenance, and calibration of monitoring and sampling equipment used; (2) review of preoperational environmental monitoring reports for the periods ending December 1978, 1979 and 1980 J
respectively, with emphasis on identification of missing data, obvious j
mistakes and anomalous measurements, observed trends or biases in the data presented, and implementation of corrective action for anomalous results identified; (3) written procedures for assuring implementation of each program parameter.
!
b.
Inspection of monitoring and sampling stations listed in Table 6.1.30
,
of the referenced Environmental Report included the following: (1) all
air particulate and associated radiciodine and soil monitoring stations; (2) all surface and groundwater sampling stations; (3) ten l
randomly selected direct radiation monitoring stations (~cluding TLD's i
associated within each air particulate monitoring station); (3) milk sampling station at Alcorn University; (4) onsite meteorological measurements. Inspection disclosed that all air particulate monitoring i
equipment was calibrated every six months and appropriately tagged I
with calibration stickers. Inspection also disclosed that an adequate supply of air particulate monitoring replacement equipment and spare parts was maintained to minimize periodic interruptions of required continuous monitoring. The location of all monitoring and sampling
,
stations listed above complied with those locations cited in the i
referenced Environmental Report and draft technical specifications.
Review of the onsite meteorological measurements program disclosed that three years of preoperational continuous hourly data were complied
'
during the periods August 1972 to July 1973, August 1973 to July 1974, and January 1976 through December 1976.
The annual data recovery
,
efficiency for each of the three years cited above were 95.15's, 98.11%,
and 93.86%, respectively. There were no questions regarding this item.
l c.
Inspection included a review of annual preoperational radiological environmental sampling and analysis summaries for the periods ending
'
i December 1978, 1979, ard 1980.
Each report included a listing of missing samples and the respective reasons therefore, and summary of
,'
analytical quality control.
Inspection disclosed that the subject j
reports were consistent with preoperational commitments defined in Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report in terms of the sampling
',
l ocaticr.s involved, monitoring and surveillance frequencies, and
)
interpretation and evaluation of results.

Inspection further included a detailed review of written procedures
developed to assure implementation of the preoperational radiological monitoring program.
The licensee's program plans, as defined in the procedures, were designed to satisfy the objectives of Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report, and the recommended quality assurance program I
defined in Regulatory Guide 4.15.
The procedures listed below were reviewed.

Administrative Procedure 08-S-08-10 listed above, described the methods
(incluaing detailed management controls) to be used by the licensee to
!
satisfy the conditions,
,mmitments, and requirements defined in proposed GGNS Technical Specifications, and the recommended aaality assurance guidance defined in Regulatory Guide 4.15 for operational radiological environmental monitoring.
Inspection disclosed that the i
procedures were adequate for assuring implementation of the pre-I operation monitoring objectives defined in Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report. There were no questions regarding this item.

Analytical Quality Control The licensee has contracted with Eberline Instrument Corporation to analyze all preoperational environmental samples.
In view of the above, the i
inspector examined Eberline's annual reports for the periods ending December
1978, 1979 and 1980, respectively.
These reports summarized the quality
!
control program and included the following program parameters: (1) perfor-mance checks of radiation measurement systems; (2) intralaboratory
analytical comparisons including replicate samples, sample blanks, spiked
{
samples, the latter two being submitted unknown; (3) interlaboratory analytical comparisons involving the EPA Ct as-check Program; (4) computa-i i
tional checks. ' Inspection disclosed that the subject analytical quality l
control program was* consistent with i berline's procedures, licensee i

Management Controls r
a.
Inspection included - a review of management controls and specific discussions with cognizant licensee representatives regarding management controls addressing preoperational radiological environmental monitoring as defined in licensee Administrative Procedure No. 01-S-08-09 Revision 3.
The following items were reviewed: (1) responsibility assigned to organizations and individuals assuring implementation of the preoperational monitoring program defined in Secti;n 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report; (2) responsi-bility assigned for sample collection, operation and maintenance of samling equipment and stations; (3) qualifications of individuals managing the program; and implementing sample collection and sample station operation, maintenance and equipment calibration, where required; (4) periodic audit of the preoperational monitoring program.
Inspection disclosed that anizational and individual responsibility _
for assuring program implem tion was consistent with the referenced procedure requirements. There were no questions regarding this item.
b.
Inspection involved a detailed review (and discussions with cognizant licensee representatives) of quality assurance audits and program reviews conducted during the period December 1978 through February 1981.
Review included each audit and program review checklist, responses to deficiencies identified, and closures of such deficiencies by the Quality Assurance Organization.
Inspection aisclosed that deficiencies identified were corrected within the assigned time periods. There ware no questions regarding this item.

IE Bulletin 81-03 The inspector reviewed the licensee's response to IE Bulletin 81-03 (Flow Blockage of Cooling Water to Safety System Components by Corbicula Sp.
(Asiatic Clam) and Mytilus Sp. (Mussel)).
The inspector discussed the response with cognizant licensee representatives, and concluded that the monitoring procedure (including visual inspection of safety systems components cooling water paths) developed was adequate and should preclude entrainment of Corbicula Sp. and subsequent fooling of subject safety component cooling water systems. This item was closed out during the exit interview. There were no further questions regarding this item.
