==g Tuo i=mid==ts.have securred at. two different namelaar power plants that 1=dic=*= a deficinany in. the design of refueling water storage systeme '

q that unrrents a review of the monitoring and control systems to prevent -

overflow of these tanks and==eantrolled release of radioactive liquid J

to the amvirons. Both i=eidant= involved the inadvertent overflow of l

the r=f==14=g water storage tanka into uncontrolled water pathways.

i i

In one case, failure of the water level indfemtor is tho' control room during a f4114== operation rossited in liquid overflow from the

- refueling water storage tank. to the facade drain tror gh which drained to' the facada sump and discharged to the sewage treatment plant and to the sausae_rarention pond. In tha second case, operator error resultad in liquid overflow from the refueling water storage tank to 3

the plant dr=i==g= system to tha stora dr=1 mate system and subsequently f

to Black Creek. A copy of the licensees' reports on these two

[

occurrences is enclosed for your information.

I As a result of these occurrences, we regeest that you perform a review l

of the refueling water storage tank system design, and other liquid tanks which contain radioactivity, that overflow to other than a l

controlled vater pathway to the envirees. All modes of operation i

and failure must be cassidered, In the cases cited above, alarms for

}

high level overflow or areammive lankage had not been i=-1=M for the r==1r = and control of such overflow or laakage had not been adequately considered in the design of these systems.

l Also, your procedures should be reviewed to ensure that they provide for operator surveillance and proper action concerning the liquid storage tanks which contain radioactivity, particularly when 1.luid la f

l being transferred into the tanks.
