Docket No. 50-397

Washington Public Power Supply System

P. 0. Box 968

Richland, Washington

Attention:

Mr. G.

C. Sorensen,

Manager

Regulatory Programs

Gentlemen:

Sub)ect:

NRC Inspection Finding Related to NUREG 0737, Item II.F.l,

Attachment 2, Inspection Report No. 50-397/85-20,

Unresolved

Item 85-20-04

As a part of Region V's post implementation review of the adequacy of your

reactor building POST LOCA sampling system,

a question

was raised

concerning

the affect sample line plate out might have

on your ability to quantify the

amount of iodine released

following an accident.

In response

to this question,

you submitted "Nuclear Plant No.

2 Position

on

Iodine Plate-out" in a letter to Mr. J.

B. Martin, Regional Administrator,

dated

June

27,

1985 (G02-85-347).

In your position you contend that requiring you to evaluate

the iodine plate

out in your effluent sample lines (required by Item II.F.1.2 of NUREG-0737)

is not appropriate

since,

due to the large exposed metal areas

in'BWRs, ail

"plateable" iodine species will have been

removed before they reach the

sampling location.

You base this position on the design basis analysis in

the

FSAR.

We have reviewed your rational and do not concur with your position. It is

our position that each

BWR licensee

(including WNP-2) must

show that their

system. provides

a representative

sample

as required by NUREG 0737,

Item II.F.1.2.

Our position is based

on the following considerations:

It is inappropriate

to use design basis analysis

as reasoning for not

complying with a NUREG-0737 item.

The requirements

in NUREG-0737 are

intended

to mitigate the consequences

of an accident which may or may

not have been specifically considered in the design basis analysis.

Therefore,

the NUREG-0737 requirements

are in addition to those

"

requirements

mandated

by design basis analysis.
