Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings No previous inspection findings regarding preoperational radiological environmental monitoring and surveillance were outstanding.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.
5.
Implementation of Preoperational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program a.
The inspector conducted a detailed status review of the preoperational radiological environmental monitoring program to verify the imple-mentation thereof, and to assess its compliance with program conditions and commitments defined in Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report
'
(Operating License Stage).
Program status review included the follcwing:
(1) review of quarterly preoperational environmental monitoring reports for the calendar year ending December 31, 1981, with emphasis on identification of missing data, obvious mistakes and anomalous measurements, observed biases in the data presented, and implementation of corrective actions for anomalous results identified; above cited conditions and commitments; (3) pletion as required by the (2) assessment of the status of program com review of written procedures assuring implemention of preoperational monitoring parameters.

b.
The inspector conducted a review of the quarterly preoperational radiological environmental sampling and analysis summaries.
Each report included a listing of missing samples and the respectiie reasons therefor, and a summary of analytical quality control.
Inspection disclosed that the subject monitoring program was consistent with preoperational conditions and commitments defined in Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report regarding sampling parameters and locations, monitoring and surveillance frequencies, radiochemical analyses, and interpretation and evaluation of results.
Discussions with cognizant licensee representatives disclosed that two air particulate /radiofodine monitoring stations were deployed in St. Joseph and Newelton, Louisana, respectively.
Direct radiation monitors were previously placed at the two stations.
It was also disclosed that the total number of TLDs deployed by the licensee (both onsite and offsite) was sixty four.
No additional deployment of direct radiation monitors by the licensee is planned.
Detailed review of the preoperational radiological monitoring program disclosed that the program has been completed as required, and is consistent with the conditions and commitments defined in Section 6.1.5 of the licensee's Environmental Report - Operating License Stage.
The inspector had no questions regarding this item.
c.
Inspection of the preoperational monitoring program status included review of detailed written procedures (developed to assure program implementation) to assess any revisions to such procedures subsequent to the previous preoperational inspection (paragraph 5.d of Inspection Report 50-416/81-17 and 50-417/81-09).
Inspection disclosed that the licensee made no additonal revisions to the preoperational radiological monitoring program procedures. There were no questions regarding this item.
6.
Management Controls a.
Inspection included a review of management controls and specific discussions with cognizant licensee representatives regarding the application of such controls to preoperational radiological environ-mental 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 to assure required implementation and completion of the monitoring program as defined in Section 6.1.5 of the Environmental Report - Operating License Stage; (2) responsibility assigned for sample collection, j
operation and maintenance of sampling equipment and stations; (3)
!
qualifications of individuals managing and implementing the program; (4) implementation of sample collection, sample station operation, maintenance and equipment calibration where required; (5) periodic audit of the preopertional monitoring program.
Inspection disclosed that organizational and individual responsibility for assuring program implementation and completion was consistent with the referenced procedure requirements. There were no questions regarding this item.

b.
Inspection involved detailed review and discussions with cognizant licensee representatives regarding quality assurance audits conducted during the period February 1,1981 through April 15, 1982. Review included audit and program review checklists, responses to deficiencies identified, and closure of such deficiencies by the Quality Assurance Organization.
Inspection disclosed that program review No. 00001-81 dated February 4,1981, was conducted.
Inspection further disclosed that two audits of licensee contractor, viz., Eberline-Instrument Corporation (flidwest Facility), were conducted on June 16-18, 1981, and December 17-19, 1981, respectively.
Deficiencies and nonconformances identified were corrected as required. There were no questions regarding this item.
7.
Analytical Quality Control a.
The licensee has contracted with the Eberline Instrument Corporation (iiidwest Facility) to conduct radiochemical analyses of preoperational environmental samples.
In view of the above, the inspector examined Eberline's quarterly reports for the calendar year ending December 31, 1981. These reports summarized the quality control program including the following program parameters:
(1) performance checks of radiation measurement systems; (2) intralaboratory analytical comparisons including replicate samples, sample blanks, and spiked samples - the latter two being submitted as unknowns; (3) interlaboratory analytical comparisons involving the EPA Cross-check Program; (4) computational checks.
Inspection disclosed that the analytical quality control program was consistent with Eberline's procedures, licensee Administrative Procedure No. 01-S-08-09 Revision 3, and guidance promulgated in NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15.
The contractor's analytical program, including analytical quality control was the subject of two licensee quality assurance a:dits conducted during calendar year 1981.
The subject audits are discussed in paragraph 6c, above. There were no questions regarding this item.
b.
Inspection also included a review and discussion with cognizant licensee representatives regarding licensee Administrative Procedure 1-S-08-10 and Sections 6.2 through 6.7.1 of the fiaster Audit Plan (Revision 2,02/15/82). The above referenced documents provide guidance and requirements for implementing proposed Technical Specification 6.5.2.8.0 (regarding plant chemistry and radiochemistry program) which stipulates that an audit shall be perfomed of activities required by the Quality Assurance Program to meet criteria of Regulatory Guide 4.15, at least, once per twelve months. Licensee representative stated the required audit would be routinely imple-mented during plant operation. This closes a previously identified inspector followup item which addressed audits of the quality assurance program (50-416/81-54-04).
