Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted during the period of May 1-31, 1981, and Lin accordance with the Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66745 (October 7,1980), the following violations were identified.
l 1.
' Technical Specification LC0 4.8.2(a) states that "the maximum instan-taneous release rate of radioactive liquid effluents from the site.shall be such that the concentration of radionuclides in the cooling-tower blowdown water discharge does not exceed the values-in Table II, Column 2,10 CFR 20, Appendix B, for unrestricted areas."
Contrary to the above, on May 14,~1981, at 1:00 p.m., it was determined by the licensee.that the concentration of tritium in the cooling tower blowdown water discharge which was made on May 12, 1981, was 3.55E-3pCi/cc, exceeding the limiting concentration for tritium (3.00E-3pCi/cc).
This is a Severity Level IV Violation.
(Supplement I.D.2) 2.
Technical Spcification 7.4.a, Procedures Administrative Controls, states in part that " Written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained...."
Procedure P-2, " Equipment Clearances and Operation Deviations," paragraph 4.2.13 instructing the reactor operator, states:
" Removes Operation Deviation Sheet from the ' Systems. Abnormalities Book' and initials the form to indicate the system is in its normal condition," and paragraph 4.2.14 states " verifies all subtags listed on the deviation form have
[
been returned."
l Operations Order 81-01 states in part that "the responsible operator l
will initial the deviation form as indicated when the equipment i3 i
normal.
Reactor operator.will check accountability of subtags on the deviation fonn and transfer all paper and tags to shift supervisor."

Contrary to the above, on May 19, 1981, it was determined by the NRC inspector that two deviation forms which had been initialed as " equip-l ment normal," were still in the Systems Abnormalities Book although the system status tags were still in place on the specified equipment.
