O APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 License Nos. OPR-53 Docket Nos. 50-317 DPR-69 50-318 As a result of the inspection conducted on February 17-20, 1981, and in accord-ance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1980), the following violations were identified:
1.
Appendix A, Technical Specifications, Section 6.8.1 states that written procedures shall be established, implamented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972. Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires procedures for sampling of gaseous effluents. Appendix B, Environmental Technical Specifications, Section 5.5, requires that systems which are directly involved with the fulfillment of the environmental technical specifications shall be operated in accord--
ance with approved operating procedures.
Procedure RCP 1-502, Sampling-of Gases for Activity, requires waste gas decay tank samples to be taken and analyzed in a gas vial.
Contrary to the above, on February 19, 1980, sampling and analysis of Number 12 Waste Gas Decay Tank was performed using a 500 ml polybottle instead of the gas vial.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).
2.
Appendix A, Technical Specifications, Section 6.8.1 statas that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972. Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires procedures for analysis of effluents including calibration. Appendix B, Environmental Technical Specifications, Section 5.5, requires that systems which are directly involved with the fulfillment of the environmental technical specifications shall be operated in accordance with approved operating procedures.
Procedure RCP 2-302, Liquid Scintillation System, requires the usa )f a quench curve for efficiency determinations. Procedure RCP 1-1901, Radiochemistry Analysis Determination of Gross Beta-Gamma (Alpha) Degassad Activity, requires the use of a self-absorption factor in determining the gross beta gamma activity.
Contrary to the above, at the time of this inspection, a quench curve was not used for efficiency determinations of the liquid scintillation counter used for effluent analyses, and a self-absorption factor was not applied in determining the gross beta gamma activity of liquid effluent samples analyzed during 1981.
4 This is a Se"erity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

Appendix A, Technical Specifications, Section 6.8.1 states that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November 1972. Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires procedures for calibration of instrumentation used in effluent analyses. Appendix B, Environmental Technical Specifications, Section 5.5, requires that systems which are directly involved with the fulfillment of the environmental technical specifications shall be operated in accordance with approved operating i
procedures. Procedure RCP 2-301.4, Set Up and Calibration of the Gamma Ray Spectrometer with Ge(Li) Detector, requires the use of three separate standards for each geometry; requires the determination of the overall standard deviation for the analysis; and specifies the geometries to be calibrated.
Contrary to the above, for 1980 and as of the dates of the inspection, three separate standards were not used for calibration with each geometry; the overall standard deviation for the analysis was not determined; and the gas vial geometry had not calibrated as required.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

Appendix A, Technical Specifications, Section 6.8.1 states that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the I
activities recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, November t
1972. Regulatory Guide 1.33 requires procedures for the control of gaseous effluents. Appendix B, Environmental Technical Specifications, Section 5.5, requires that systems which are directly involved with the fulfillment o# the environmental technical specifications shall be operated in cccordance with approved operating procedures, procedure RCP 1-207, Gaseous Waste Releases Specificattan and Surveillance, requires that at the end of each month the site release rates for Group I and II nuclides-averaged over 12 consecutive months snall be. recorded on the Twelve Month Release Rate Calculation Sheet.
Contrary to the above,.as of the date of inspection, the Twelve Month Release Rate Calculation Sheet had not been completed for the January-December, 1980 period as required.
This is a Severity Level VI Violation (Supplement I).
l Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company is hereby required to submit to this office within twenty-five days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:
(1) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and the date when full compliance will be achieved. Under the authority of Sv 182 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
