APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Arizona Nuclear Power Project P.
0.
Box 52034
- Phoenix, Arizona 85072-2034 Docket No.
50-529 License No.
NPF-51 During an inspection conducted on February 24-26 and February 29-March 3,
- 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, the following violation is listed below:
A.
Technical specification 6.8. 1 requires in part that, "Written procedures shall be...implemented,
... covering the activities referenced below:
a.
The applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978,..."
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, Section 7, "Procedures for Control of Radioactivity", Item c(2), requires procedures addressing sampling and monitoring of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Gaseous Effluent Systems.
Licensee procedure 75AC-9ZZ02, Rev.
5, "Gaseous Radioactive Effluent Release Administrative Control",
Section 4.3. 13, requires in part "...that samples of Radwaste Systems are collected as per Appendix C, Effluent Sampling Schedule, Procedure 75AC-9ZZ02, Appendix B, "Effluent Sampling Schedule",
requires in part
- that, "gas grab sample..
~ principle gamma emitter analyses..
~ possess a
Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) of 1 E-4 uCi/ml.
Principle gamma emitters include Kr-87, Kr-88, Xe-133, Xe-133m, Xe-135, and Xe-138 for gas samples.
~."
Contrary to the above, on February 25, 1988, a principal gamma emitter analysis performed on a gas grab sample from Waste Gas Decay Tank (WGDT)
"B" did not achieve the required Lower Limit of Detection for the following radionuclides:
Kr-87, Kr-88 and Xe-138.
Waste gas decay tank "B" was subsequently discharged without an additional gas grab sample analysis meeting the required sensitivity limits.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV)
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Arizona Nuclear Power Project is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
Nuclear'egulatory Commission, ATTN:
