ATTACHMENT A STATEMENT OF WORX RADIATION MONITORING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS I.

PURPOSE The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to establish a collaborative program between the State of Tennessee (hereinafter called the " State")

and the Comission to provide independent measurements of radioactivity and radiation levels in the environment around selected Commission licensed activities, and to provide reasonable assurance that a licensee's environ-mental measurements are valid.

II.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The immission and the State will collaborate in implementing and conducting progra'ms at individual sites within the State in accordance with the following general requirements:

A.

The State, within a reasonable time after the effective date of this cooperative agreement, will take action to provide facilities, quali-fled personnel and/or agencies as may be necessary to accomplish the work described in this cooperative agreement.

The State thereafter will maintain for the period of this cooperative agreement, a sufficient level of effort to fulfill the objectives of the coopera-tive agreement.

B.

Programs will be undertaken at the follcwing sites:

Nuclear Fuel Services Fuel Fabrication Sequoyah Nuclear Power Plant Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant C.

Attachments 1, 2, and 3 show the overall sampling and analyses l

requirements for facilities. Attac!Aant 2 also gives the minimum detectable capabilities for the samples analyzed.

No on-site samples will be collected pursuant to the cooperative agreement unless specifically requested or approved by the Comaission.

III.

PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMEfiTING AND CONDUCTING THE PROGRAMS A.

The Comission's Office of Inspection and Enforcement (IE) Technical Representative will provide technical liaison, as necessary, between the State and the licensee, in all matters relating to the program conducted pursuant to the cooperative agreement.

-=

~ _ -..

2 B.

The State will make all necessary contacts and arrangements for collecting samples in the off-site environment, e.g., obtaining access to private property, assistance of State or local agencies, arranging with private firms for services, etc.

C.

The State will make all necessary contacts and arrangements with the licensee to split samples with the licensee, obtain duplicate samples and obtain licensee's data on the comparative samples.

D.

The Comission will assist the State in selecting sampling locations, arranging for laboratory support, as necessary, spliting samples periodically, assisting State in obtaining licensee's comparative data, and consulting with the State on matters of mutual concern.

E.

The State will exchange TLDs at stations established jointly by the Comission and the State on a frequency of 92 7 days starting on January 1, 1980.

The interval between exchanges shall not be smaller than 80 days nor larger than 100 days.

During an exchange, the State will replace TLDs currently in the field with annealled TLCh supplied by NRC Region II office.

Intransit control TLD will be placed in lead cask on arrival at State's point of dispatch.

Exposed TLDs will be shipped back to NRC Region II as soon as possible by conveyance agreed upon by the Comission and State.

F.

The State will notify the NRC Office of Inspection and Enforcement Region II Office by telephone (404/221-5544, FTS 242-5544 ) and written confir:ation as soon as practicable after it becomes aware of any observed unusual condition, level of radiation, or concentrations of radioactive material measured in carrying out the programs at indi-vidual sites.

G.

The Commission will make the necessary inspections, investigations, and inquiries to ascertain the status of compliance by the licensees with license provisions, rules, orders, and regulations of the Commission and to determine the safety of licensee operations; and will initiate enforcement or other regulatory action as appropriate.

Results of such inspections, investigations, or inquiries conducted in response to such notification shall be provided to the State.

IV.

REPORTING A.

The State will provide the Commission with an annual report of all off-site analyses with comparisons of similar analyses by the respec-tive licensee within 120 days after January 1 of each year.

The report shall follow the format of Attachment 3.

In the event that some results are not available within the 120-day period, the report shall be submitted noting and explaining the reasons for the missing

3 results.

The missing data shall be submitted as soon as possible in a supplementary report.

If samples are not available, data analysis is not expected.

However, a brief explanation as to why the sample was not provided is requested.

If samples or data are not available because of the reluctance of the licensee to provide them, the NRC IE Regional Technical Representative should be notified as soon as possible.

The annual report shall also include a sumary of the State's EPA crosscheck program results for the past year.

B.

The Comission will arrange for the timely distribution of the reports within the Comission and to the licensee., and any other Federal, State or local agencies as may be necessary in meeting the intent of the " National Environmental Policy Act of 1969" (Public Law 91-190, 83 Stat. 853, dated January 1,1970) for keeping affected agencies informed.

C.

The Comission will work with the State in making the program findings publicly available through special bulletins, press releases, and publication in appropriate technical journals or periodicals, or otherwise, to assure prompt and wide distribetion of the data at

~

minimum cost.

D.

The State will provide to the Comission on a quarterly basis, a report covering NRC funds expended during the preceding quarter, a total expenditure of funds under this cooperative agreement, and a tabulation of Services Rendered by facility. The format is shown in.

This report shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer.
