DPR-33, DPR-52, DPR-68 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on May 19-20,

1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

The violation involved failure to follow approved environmental sampling procedures.

In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C ( 1985),

the violation is listed below:

Environmental Technical Specification (ETS) 5.5.2 requires that detailed written procedures for the environmental monitoring program outside the

plant, including check-off lists, where applicable, shall be
prepared, receive appropriate administrative approval and be adhered to.

Contrary to the

above, Radioanalytical Laboratory Procedure SC-01, Collection of Environmental Monitoring Samples, Rev.

1, October 22, 1985 was not adhered to during May 12, 1986 sample collection as follows:

1.

The total rainwater volume was not recorded nor was the collection container rinsed thoroughly prior to repositioning for subsequent sample collection as required by Steps 5.4.22. 1 and 5.4.22.2.

2.

The integrating time selection switch of the radiation monitoring system was not placed, in the one second position during the monthly source check as required by Step

3. 1.2, Appendix 2.

3.

The flow control valve for the air sampling system was adjusted although no guidance or criteria for adjustment was detailed in Step 5.4. 1.

The procedure only required that date, time, meter reading and differential pressure of the filter system be recorded.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Tennessee Valley Authority is hereby required to submit-to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice a written statement or explanation in reply including:

(1) admission or denial of the violation; (2) the reason for the violation if

admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results
achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
