At approximately 0200 MST on July 18, 1987, Palo Verde Unit 2 was in Mode 1 (POWER OPERATION) at 100 percent power, when the ACTION requirement for Technical Specification 3.11.1.1 was not complied with. A Chemistry Technician had performed Surveillance Test 74ST-2ZZ02 for release of liquid effluents from the secondary plant in accordance with Technical Specification 3.11.1.1. The Technician reviewed and accepted the Surveillance Test and released the contents of the chemical waste neutralization tank to the onsite evaporation pond with an analytical lower limit of detectability (LLD) value greater than the limit of the Technical Specification.
The root cause of the event has been determined to be a cognitive personnel error in that the Technician did not recognize that the LLD value for Molybdenum 99 was greater than allowed by Technical Specification 3.11.1.1.
Additionally, the Technician did not follow established Department Instructions applicable to generation, review and approval of analytical data.
As corrective action, the Chemistry Technician received appropriate disciplinary action. As additional corrective action to prevent recurrence, briefing sessions will be conducted with all Chemistry Technicians by the respective Unit Chemistry Supervisors to discuss this event and re-emphasize the review and approval process for analytical data.

A Chemistry Technician (utility non-licensed) had performed Surveillance Test 74ST-2ZZ02 (Chemical Waste Neutralization Tank Surveillance Test) for release of liquid effluents from the secondary plant in accordance with Technical Specification 3.11.1.1.
The Technician reviewed and accepted the Surveillance Test and released the contents of the chemical waste neutralization tank (WH) to the onsite evaporation pond with an analytical lower limit of detectability (LLD) value greater than the limit of the Technical Specification.
On July 20, 1987 the Chemistry Supervisor (utility non-licensed), during his review of the Surveillance Test, identified that the chemical waste neutralization tank was discharged to the onsite evaporation pond contrary to Technical Specification 3.11.1.1. A Chemistry Technician performed the release to the onsite evaporation pond when the analyzed LLD for Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) did not meet the required LLD specification of /= 5E-7 micro-curies per cubic centimeter. The analyzed LLD value was /= 9E-7 micro-curies per cubic centimeter.
l The root cause of the event has been determined to be a cognitive personnel error in that the Technician did not recognize that the LLD value of the analysis for Mo-99 was greater than that allowed by Technical Specification 3.11.1.1. Additionally, the Technician did not follow established Department Instructions applicable to generation, review and approval of analytical data.
Analytical results generated by a Chemistry Technician are to be reviewed by a second Technician, as a minimum, prior to distribution or release of analytical data, and in the case of Surveillance Tests, a review by the Unit Chemistry Supervisor or his designee. The error was contrary to an approved procedure.
There were no errors in the procedure that contributed to the event. There were no unusual characteristics of the work location that contributed to the event.
As corrective action, the Chemistry Technician received appropriate disciplinary action. As additional corrective action to prevent recurrence, briefing sessions will be conducted with all Chemistry Technicians by the respective Unit Chemistry Supervisors to discuss this event and re-emphasize the review and approval process for analytical data.

There were no operator actions that contributed to the event. There were no automatic or manual safety system responses.
The chemical waste neutralizating tank, capacity approximately 40,000 gallons, is discharged to the onsi.te evaporation pond via a retention basin which holds approximately 500,000 gallons. During this evolution the effluent becomes more dilute. Further dilution of the effluent occurs when it enters the onsite evaporation pond which covers approximately 250 acres. The half-life of Mo-99 is 66.02 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, therefore after one half-life the activity of the effluent would be 4.5 E-7 micro-curies per cubic centimeter which is below the LLD.
Accordingly, no MEMBER OF'THE PUBLIC at t'e nearest exclusion area boundary would receive a total body annual exposure, from ground contamination, of greater than '.5 roentgen. Therefore, this event had no effect on the health and safety of the public.
There have not been any similar events previously reported.
