Region II - Suite 3100 RII: RCL 101 tiarietta Street, NU 50-321/50-366 htlanta, Georgia 30302 Inspection Report 81-07 ATTENTION: f1r. Janes P. O'Reilly Gentlemen:
The following information is submitted in response to Inspection Report 81-07 concerning the inspection conducted by D. fl. ffontoonery of your office on April 27 through liay 12, 1981. Two apparent violations were identified.
VIOLATION A:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented and naintained covering procedures reconnended in Appendix "A"
of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2.
Procedure HNP-7651, which implenents 'N 1ulatory Guide 1.33, requires that quality control data for chemical s nalyses be recorded on control charts.
Contrary to the above, Procedure HNP-7651 was not fully implemented in that:
1.
precision control data for chloride analysis were not plotted on control charts during the period of tiay 21, 1980 to January 1, 1981.
2.
quality control data for silica analyses were not plotted on control charts during the period of November 19, 1980 to March 22, 1981.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I.E).
RESPONSE
Admi ssion or denial of alleged violation--the violation occurred as stated.
Reason for the violation--the violation has been attributed to personnel error.
The foreman in charge was aware that the points had not been plotted and had previously asked the technician responsible for that task to plot the points.
The forenan had not rechecked the charts for the points.

GeorgiaPowerd U. S. !!uclear Regulatory Connission Office of Inspection and Enforcenent Region II Page Two July 15,1981 Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved--the deficiency was corrected prior to the inspector's departure from the plant on April 30, 1981.
Corrective steps watch will be taken to avoid future violations--to avoid further violations, the data and control charts will be reviewed weekly by the responsible forenan.
Date when full conpliance will be achieved--full compliance was achieved on April 30, 1931.
VIOLATI0ff B:
Environmental Technical Specification 5.6 requires that detailed written procedures, including applicable checklists and instructions, shall be prepared and followed -for all activities involved in inplementing the Environnental Technical Specifications and that procedures shall apply to sanpling data recording and
- storage, instrument calibration, neasurenent and data recording and storage, instrunent calibration, and neasurenent and analysis.
Contrary to the above, procedures were not prepared and followed for all activities involved in implementing the Environental Technical Specifications in that:
1.
On April 29, 1981, there were no calibration procedures or calibration progran for flow neters associated with the plant vent and reactor building vent sampling systens used to inplement Section 2.1.4 of the Environnental Technical Specifications.
2.
On April 29, 1981, there was no calibration procedure or calibration progran -for the pressure gauge used for sanpling gases to inplement Section 2.1. 4 of the Environnental Technical Specifications.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement I.E).
RESPONSE
Admi ssion or denial of alleged violations--the violation occurred as stated.
GeorgiaPower d U. S. !!uclear Regulatory Connission Office of Inspection and Enforcement Region II Page 3 July 15,1981 Reason for the violation--the violation has been attributed to an oversight by supervision.
The pressure gauges and flow noters had not been included in the surveillance program for instrument calibration.
The flow neters are an integral part of continuous radiation monitoring systens and thereby cannot be easily renoved for calibration.
The renoval 'of some of the neters would cause the radiation nonitoring systens to be out of service, thus resulting in a Licensee Event Report (LER).
Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved--the pressure gauges were checked for accuracy and were found to be within acceptable limits; this was completed on flay 22, 1981.
A Design Change Request (DCR) has been initiated to install parallel flow neters on these systens so that the flow neters can be checked without taking the systen out of service.
Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid future violations--when the DCR is complete, the present flou neters will be checked for accuracy.
An evaluation of the accuracy of the flow and pressure measuring devices will then be nade to determine their effect on the accuracy of gaseous effluent nonitoring in the past.
Additionally, a calibration progran for both the pressure gauges and flow noters will be established.
Date when full compliance will be achieved--once a DCR design package is approved for implementation, a completion date will be set.
J. T. Beckhan, Jr. states that he is Vice President of Georgia Power Company and is authorized to execute this oath on behalf of Georgia Power Company, and that to the best of his knowledge and belief the facts set forth in this letter are tnie.
