On November ll, 1988, during a review of plant Technical, Specifications and it was identified that the Turbine the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual, Room Sump. System had not been sampled and analyzed in accordance with Technical Specification 4.11.1.1.1, Table 4.11.1 as, identified in the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual. As a result: 1) composite samples for the turbine Room sump have never been directly analyzed for strontium-89, strontium-90, iron-55 and Gross Alpha, and; 2) monthly grab samples of the Turbine Room Sump have never been sampled or analyzed for dissolved and entrained gases.

The root cause of this event was the failure to fully recognize the turbine building sump as a radioactive liquid effluent release pathway and implement all requirements of Technical Specification Table 4.11.1 when procedures were for implementing the radioactive liquid waste sampling and analyses program prepared. At no time would the regulatory limits of 10CFR20 Appendix B have been exceeded as a result of the discharge from the turbine room sump to unrestricted areas.

To prevent recurrence procedures have been updated to list the required, as per Technical Specification Table 4.11-1 sampling frequencies 'and analysis for the Turbine Building Sump System.

CONDITIONS PRIOR"TO OCCURRENCE Unit 1 at 90 percent thermal power, Unit 2 in refueling mode with no fuel in reactor v'essel.

DESCRIPTION OF'VENT On November. 11, 1988, during a review of plant Technical Specifications and the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual, it was identified that 'the Turbine Room Sump System (EIIS/WR) had not been sampled and analyzed in accordance with Technical Specification 4.11.1.1.1, Table 4.11-1, as required by the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual.

In the past, composite samples of the Turbine Room sump have been sampled and directly analyzed for principal gamma emitters, I-131, and H-3 on a daily basis. However, it was not recognized that the Turbine Building Sump System was identified as a plant continuous release point.'t is therefore subject to the analysis program given in Table 4;ll-l of the Plant Technical Specifications. As a result: 1) composite samples for the Turbine Room Sump have never been directly analyzed for strontium-89, strontium-90, iron-55 and Gross Alpha, and; 2) monthly grab samples of the Turbine Room Sump have never been sampled or analyzed for dissolved and" entrained gases (gamma emitters) .

CAUSE OF EVENT The root cause of this event was the failure to fully recognize the turbine building sump as a radioactive liquid effluent release pathway and implement all requirements of Technical'Specification Table 4.11.1 when procedures for implementing the radioactive'iquid waste sampling and analyses program were prepared.

ANALYSIS OF EVENT This event is considered reportable under the criteria of 10 CFR 50.73 (a)

(2)(i)(b) as a literal violation of Technical Specifications.

The only potential source of radioactive 'influent to the Turbine Building Sump System is secondary system leakage. The secondary system with highest concentration of radioactivity is the steam generator blowdown system. Based on these facts and the assumption that iron-55, strontium-89 and strontium-90 release concentrations for the turbine room sump are equal to'he maximum release concentrations of the steam generator blowdown flash tank, a comparison of steam generator blowdown flash tank quarterly composite data and turbine room sump daily composite data with 10CFR20 limits was performed for periods NRC FORM BBBA *U.S.OPD:1986 D624.538/455 (943)

when direct releases to the unrestricted areas occurred, i.e., when. turbine room sump overflowed to I ake Michigan.. 'This comparison found that all releases to unrestricted areas were within the limits of 10CFR20. Based on this, it is,our belief that the failur'e to perform the analysis required 4.11.1.1.1 has not resulted in,any impact on the by Technical Specification public health and safety. At no time would the regulatory limits of 10CFR20 Appendix B have been exceeded as a result of the discharge from the turbine room sump to unrestricted areas.

'ORRECTIVE ACTION, To prevent recurrence procedures have been updated to .list the required, as per Technical Speci'fication Table 4.11-1 sampling frequencies and analysis for the Turbine Building Sum'p System.

FAILED COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION None.
