TRITIUM INDICATED IN SAMPLES TAKEN FROM ONSITE CULVERT
==
Description:==
Originator: JANICE M KUCZYNSKI Supv Contacted: K. Poison, Dale Ambler Condition
Description:
Two samples results from onsite property located on the downstream side of the culvert at the old A entrance gate came back from the vendor with Tritium Indicated on the results. Specifically, the analysis results from Environmental Inc. Midwest Laboratory (EIML) indicated results of 539
+/-121 pCi/L Tritium (sampled on 03/24/05) and 582.963 +/-112. 14 pCi/L Tritium (sampled on 04/07/05). These sample resu1R3saruwell within regulatory criteria for tritium for drinking water annotated in 40CFR141.16, Table A which is 20,000 pCi/L. Additionally this activity is less than the unconditional release lower limit of detection for Tritium which is 2000 pCI/L (ODCM Table 12.5-3). This activity is less than the effluent concentration limits annotated in 10CFR20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 which is 1E-3 microcurie/ml (=1E6 pCi/L). The ODCM limit for instantaneous release Is 10 times the concentration values listed in 10CFR20 Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 (i.e., 1E-2 microcuries/ml = 1E7 pCi/L).
The station should determine if this is an unplanned release In accordance with the ODCM. If so, then this should be added to the 2005 Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report required by ODCM Section 12.6.2.
Additionally, the station should document this tritium activity in accordance with 10CFR50.75g requirements.
The station is developing a plan (assign ATI to Chemistry alert group 8932) to deal with this issue to better understand the source of tritium.
This plan will be completed shortly and should be tracked by ATI assigned by this issue report (due date 06/14/05). Additionally, the site Is working on a longer term tritium reduction plan under the senior sponsorship of the RP Manager - this plan is expected to be completed shortly by RP (assign ATI to RP alert group) and the actions should be tracked by this issue report.
Immediate actions taken:
Follow-up Tritium sample taken on 04/07/05.
Recommended Actions:
Finalize the plan (assign ATI to Chemistry alert group 8932) to deal with this issue to better understand the source of tritium. Assign an ATI for a.

CA's have been created to Chemistry and Rad Protection for the action plans.
If the station determines that this is an unplanned release then an ACIT needs to be created to Chemistry to include in the 2005 Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report which will be issue in May 2006. MLM 04/25/05

Per the Chemistry Manager, a department evaluation is not needed. The Information is in the originator section of the IR. An evaluation will not provide any additional Information. Station Management is aware of the Issue. The CA's for the action plans are what is needed and will track this issue. MLM 4/26/05 ATI CREATED TO ADDRESS INCLUSION IN 2005 ANNUAL REPORT.
