A.

Technical Specification 4.3.3.3.1 states:

"4.3.3.3.1 Each of the above seismic monitoring instruments shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by the performance of the CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION and CHANNEL FUNCTICNAL TEST at the frequencies shown in Table 4.3-4 Table 4.3-4 specifies calibration frequency requirements for the Triaxial Time-History Strong Motion Accelographs and the Triaxial Seismic Switches.

Technical Specification 1.9, Channel Calibration, states:

"1.9 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds.with the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter which the channel monitors.

The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the seasor and alarm and/or trip functions, and shall include the CHANNEL FUNCTICNAL TEST. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping or total channel steps that the entire channel is calibrated."

Contrary to the above, CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS performed on the Triaxial Time-History Strong Motion Accelographs and Triaxial Seismic Switches were inadequate; in that the testing did not include known values of acceleration or displacement, the parameters which the channel monitors.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I).

B.

Environmental Technical Specification, Section 2.2.1, states in part:

"The pH of a representati,e sample of waste solution in the neutralization tank shall be measured prior to discharge.
