Combined Inspection 50-317/79-04; 50-318/79-04
This refers to your letter dated April 27, 1979, in response
to our letter dated April 5,1979.
The corrective and preventive actions which you documented in
response to our correspondence were incomplete. As specified
in our letter of April 5,1979, it is necessary that you provide
,
for Items A, B, and C a written statement or explanation in
'
reply including:
(1) corrective steps which have been taken by
you and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be
.
taken to avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date
when full compliance will be achieved. Specific comments for
Items A, B, and C follow:
With regard to Item A, it should be noted that Section 5.5.2
of the Environmental Technical Specifications requires that all
written operating procedures, which includes sampling and radio-
,
analytical procedures, be reviewed by the Environmental Group
'
and approved by the Chief Environmental Engineer.
Your attention
is redirected to the statements in our letter dated April 5,1979
which indicated that this item was recurrent or uncorrected and
should be given your particular attention. Your response to this
item failed to provide the specific corrective action taken or
planned to achieve compliance with the requirements and to prevent
recurrence and the date when full compliance will be achieved.
With regard to Item B, it should be noted that the analytical
methods used by you or your contractor must be capable of achieving
the required detection limits. The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD)
as required in Table 3.2-2 of the Environmental Technical Specifi-
cations (ETS) and as defined in HASL-300 requires that detection

of the concentrations provided in Table 3.2-2 of the ETS be met
at the 95% confidence limit regardless of whether the concen-
,
trations are above or below the LLD.
It should be also empha-
sized that the parameters involved in determining the LLD are
the counter efficiency, counter background, chemical recovery
and sample size.
It should be understood that until the ETS
proposed changes are approved by the NRC, the current requirements
will be met.
Your response to this item faiied to specify the
necessary steps which will be taken to ensure that the required
LLDs for Sr-89 and Sr-90 will be met and the date when full
compliance will be achieved.
With regard to Item C, it is our understanding that food crops
were grown and available in the area of locations 15 and 16 and
that the harvest time of soybeans and corn takes place earlier
than November and December.
It should be understood that until
the ETS proposed changes are approved by the NRC, the current
requirements will be met.
Your response to this item failed to
specify the necessary steps which will be taken to ensure that
the vegetation samplesare collected from the required locations
at the required time.
Your statement should be submitted to this office within ten (10)
days of your receipt of this letter.
