a + ATTACHMENT-RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION 50-458/8711-01-LEVEL V REFERENCE'

Notice of Violation - J. E. Gagliardo letter to J..C. Deddens, dated May 29, 198 FAILURE TO USE 0DCM METHODOLOGY TO PROTECT DOSES

'

Technical Specification 3/4.11.1.3 states that doses .due to liquid releases to unrestricted areas shall be projected in accordance with the methodology'and parameters in the ODCM. 7his requirement is ' implemented by the use of, Surveillance Test Procedure (STP)-511-820 !

.

Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on April. 15, 1987, that the calculations: performed using the format in STP-511-8208 during the period -July 1986 through, March 1987, did not agree with the methodologies specified in the ODC This is a Severity Level V violatio REASON FOR THE VIOLATION:

Personnel error was determined to be the reason for this oversigh A l change to STP-511-8208 was drafted in conjunction with the ODCM revision h but not issued for revision anG approva Personnel in Radiological l Engineering did not follow up. on the change to ensure it was l' incorporated.,

CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THE RESULTS ACHIEVED:

Temporary Change Notice (TCN)~ Number 87-0343 was submitted on 4/16/87 and approved on 4/21/87 to correct STP-Sil-8208 to agree with the ODCM methodolog ~~

Comparisons of the two calculational. methods were performed for the period since- the ODCM method was changed. Using the less conservative STP methodology, entrance into the Technical Specification 3/4.11. action statement was required in July and October 1986. Using the ODCM methodology, two additional months - November 1986 and January 1987, required entrance into the action statement. A review of radioactive releases during these months indicated that all releases were treated via the radioactive waste treatment system prior to their discharge as required under Technical Specification 3/4.11. CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER VIOLATIONS The ODCM/ Procedure revision log (Attachment I to RSP-008) will be revised. to incorporate a sign-off by the Radiological Engineering Superv$bor or his designee to review, for applicability, any change (s) to lower tier implementing procedures with regard to ODCM revisions. This  !

should aesure revisions and changes are implemented as appropriat i w .._n__ _._ _-_ ._ _ _. ---- .___ _ ...__2
