l ATTACHMENT RE: TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 DOCKET NOS. 50-250, 50-251 h IE INSPECTION REPORT 82-19_

i FINDING:

I Technical Specification 3.9.2.n requires detennination of I-131 and particulate activity reledsed fron the condenser air ejector wnen radioactivity is detected in the secondary systen.

l Technical Specification 3.9.2.1 also requires that analyses shall be perfonned in accordance with Sections C-2 and C-3 of AEC Safety Guide No. 21,

" Monitoring and Reporting of Ef fluents from Nuclear Power Plants", whicn specifies that releases which potentially contain radioiodines and particulate activity should be sampled continously through a particulate filter and iodine  !

sampling device.

Contary to the above, the Condenser Air Ejector Exhaust was not sampled j v continuously for radioiodine and particulate activity during tne period of i

. April 1,1981 to April 16, 1982 when analysis of secondary coolant showed r eloactivity.

j .

RESPONSE: i l

1. FPL concurs with tne finding i 2. The finding occurred because we did not interpret Technical Specification 3.9.2.1 and the referenced Safety Guide No. 21 to mean tnat continous sampling is required for the air ejector exhaust as if it were a release l path. The exception in tnis specification seens to state tnat the sub-  !

parts of specification 3.9.2.h apply, and that weekly samples are sufficient.

3. and 4.

As corrective action, sampling systens have been installed that are designed and intended. to accomplish continous monitoring of the air ejector exhausts when there are primary to secondary leaks. Since installation and initial operability testing was conpleted moisture Carryover problems have developed which make the monitors not fully functional. Work is in progress to solve this problen out we are not able to provide a conpletion date.

5. Because of this problen a date for full compliance cannot be given. A follow-up report will be sent to you within thirty days giving the status and a completion date if the problen has not Deen solved.
