- 1984, the following violations were identified:
A.
Technical Specification 3. 16. 1. 1 states, in part, that the radiological environmental monitoring program shall be conducted as specified in Table
- 3. 16-1.
Table 3. 16-1, Section 3, requires a composite sample of water to be collected at the Russell Station by collecting an aliquot at intervals not exceeding 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
Contrary to the above, the water sample at the Russell Station has not been composited in accordance with the requirements of the technical specifications.
From January 1984 to the date of the inspection, composite water samples were collected by taking a daily aliquot at the Russell Station.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).
B.
Technical Specification
- 4. 10. 1 states that radiological environmental monitoring samples shall be analyzed pursuant to the requirements of Table
- 4. 10. 1.
Table 4. 10. 1, maximum values for the lower limits of detection (LLD), states that an LLD of 1 picocupie per liter for I-131 shall be achieved on 98% of water sample analyses.
Contrary to the above, the LLD of 1 picocurie per liter was not achieved for I-131 for all water sample analyses for the reporting period from
- January, 1984 to the present.
The LLD achieved ranged between 8 and 110 picocuries per liter.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
C.
~ 1.3, "Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report," requires the inclusion of summarized and tabulated results in the form of a table of all radiological environmental samples taken during the report period.
Contrary to the above, the 1984 Annual Radiological Environmental Opera-ting Report was submitted with LLDs provided in Table XII of the report which were the LLDs of previous report years.
The LLDs reported in the 1984 annual Report did 'not represent the actual LLD data for 1984.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).

Technical Specification 6.8. 1 requires, in part, that written procedures be established, implemented and maintained covering the activities refer-enced in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972.
One of those activities, procedures for control of measuring and test equipment, in Section H of Appendix A, RG 1.33, requires that procedures be provided to assure that... instruments... are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified periods to maintain accuracy.
Contrary to the above, no written procedure for the calibration of the Baird Low Activity Counter had been established, and four other pro-cedures including HP-10.9, HP-10.5, CP-250, and CP-251 did not specify the frequency for the calibration and adjustment of the equipment to maintain accuracy.
The equipment used to perform the required analytical measure-ments included the liquid scintillation counter, the gamma spectrometer, the meteorological instrumentation, and the meteorological transmitters.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation is hereby required to submit to this office within thirty days of the date of the letter which transmitted this Notice-,
a written statement or explanation in reply, including: (1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
