Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection

Report

No. 50-244 85-08

A special

team inspection

was conducted

on June

10-14,

1985 to review systems

and procedures

at Ginna Station for post-accident

sampling

and monitoring as

specified in NUREG-0737.

Mithin the

scope of this review,

no violations were

observed.

However,

several

areas

were identified that should

be improved to

ensure reliability of system operation

and credibility of the information

generated.

Me are particularly concerned'bout

the following items:

~

the coaxial

signal

cable

and connection for the containment

high range

radiation monitors

may not withstand

an accident environment;

~

the ability to obtain

a representative

coolant

sample at low reactor

system pressure

is uncertain;

~

testing of the

PASS

system

should

be completed to ensure

the accuracy,

range,

and sensitivity of the coolant analysis data;

and

~

the calculated sensitivity of the

steam line radiation monitor s has not

been verified by empirical data.

Additionally, subsequent

to the inspection

we learned that the Eberline

SPING-4

system

used to monitor particulate,

iodine,

and noble gases

in the station vent

may be damaged

by high radiation levels and fail to function in accident condi-

tions.

This information was relayed to your staff on September

4,

1985.

In

this regard,

please

provide this office with a description of action taken or

planned relative to these particular

items within 25 days of the date of this

letter.
