reger letter to C. Reed Dear Mr. Davist During NRC inspection 50-456/90005 and 50-457/90005 [ reference (a))
conducted by Messrs. A. G. Januska and J. E. Ilouse from January 22 through January 25, 1990, Draidwood Station committed to develop an Action Plan for the implementation of a Quality Control Program for the Post Accident Sampling System. As the conclusion of the inspection, a preliminary copy of the Action Plan was provided to Mr. Januska, on February 5, 1990. A conference call between Mr. Januska and members of Braidwood Station's staff was held on February 6, 1990 to discuss the details of the Action Plan. Based on this discussion a final version of the Action Plan has been prepared and is

.j COALS The Quality Control Program for the Post Accident Sampling System ~
f has the following goals:
f 1.
To demonstrato the-instruments and equipment meet the requirements.
]
necessary to analyze post' accident-samples-for, the-required'-
analyses.
2.
To ensure the' equipment and instruments are scheduled for required maintenance.
3.
To ensure the' required calibrations. ' are maintained nithin' the required frequency.
4.
To document equipment ~ maintenance and problems. to provide' an historical record for troubleshooting and cost' justification for equipment. replacement or repair.
5.
To inform the required managers of the status 'of the PASS' i
instrumentation and equipment; and the consequences of. troublesome or 008 equipment.

M Aci!ING_TifE GOALS The following section details the steps to be taken to reach the goals mentioned above.
Each block lists the specific steps to ' be taken for.each instrument (s), analysis requirement or goal.
1.
Ion Chromatograph Standardization and Performance check Develop a
standard method for performance-check and standardization of ' the instrument.
Add performance check and standardization to list of required surveillances.
Milestone Date:
MAY 90
- Write procedure to performance check and standardize. the '
instrument.
Chemistry Supervision will standardize and performance check the instrument until the procedure is written in order to (1) fulfill the surveillance requirement and (2) gain experience with the instrument necessary to write a-procedure useful to the technician.
Milestone Date:
AUG 90
- Train the Technician on the performance check and calibration procedure.
Technicians will commence performance. check.'of-instrument at this point and calibrations if necessary.
Milestone Date MAY 91 2.
Gas Chromatograph Standardization and Performance Check Arrange for vendor to'come to the station for a service call for a general check of.the instrument and supporting equipment.
prior to commencing development work.
Milestone Date:
FEB 90 l
Develop a
standard method' for performance check and I
standardization of the instrument.
Add performance check :and stendardization to list of required surveillances.
Milestone Date MAY 90 Develop and write a procedure for sample ar.alyses of hydrogen during non-accident conditions or revise accident procedure to' permit non-accident use. Milestone Date JUN 90 Write procedure to performance check' and standardize the l-instrument. Chemistry Supervision will standardize and performance check the instrument until the procedure is written in order to (1) fulfill the surveillance requirement and (2) gain experience with the instrument necessary to write a procedure useful to the technician. Milestone Date:
SEP 90
- Train the Technician on the sample analysis, performance check and calibration procedure.
Technicians will commence performance check of instrument at this point and calibrations if necessary.
Milestone Date:
MAY 91 1

3.
pH Meter Standardisation and Performance Check Develop a
standard method.for performance check and standardisation of the instrument.
Add performance check 'and standardisation to list of required surveillances.
Milestone Dates APR 90 Write procedure to performance check and. standardise the inutrument. Chemistry supervision will standardise and performance check the instrument until the procedure in written in order to (1) fulfill the surveillance requ$rement and (2) gain experience with the i r st.rument necessary to write a. procedure usef ul to the technician. Milestone Datet OCT 90 1
- Train the Technician on the performance check and calibration procedure.
Technicians will commence performance' check of instrument at this point and calibrations if necessary. Milestone Date:
MAY 91 4.
Conductivity Meter cell Constant Verification, sample Analysis Comparison (periormance check)
- Develop a method to performance check the instrument (by sample comparison $ and verify the cell constant.
Add these requirements to the surveillance requirements list.
Milestone ' Date APR ' 90 '
Write procedure to performance check and standardize the instrument.
Chemistry Supervision will standardise and performance check the instrument until the procedure is written in order to (1) fulfill the surveillance requirement and (2) gain experience with the instrument necessary to write' a procedure useful to the technician. Milestone Date:
OCT 90 Train the Technician on the performance check procedure.
Technicians will commence performance check of instrumer.t at this point.
Cell constant verification will probably remain a Chemistry Management function. Milestone Date:
MAY 91 Exercising Variouc Grab Sample Paths (accident. and non-accident paths) (2ncludes exercising and simulated sample capture for the Containment Air Sample Panel)
Develop aethod and standards for isotopic comparisons for sample points reqtiring such comparisons.
Add sample point' exercise, requirement.t to surveillance list. Milestone Date: _ MAR 90
- Write or revise procedures as necessary to exercise and compare the various sample points for the system.
Chemistry Supervision will perform the necessary functions or provide assistance to technicians until procedures and training are completed. Milestone Date:

function over to technician. Milestone Date:
MAY 91 6.
1.ong Term Calibrations and Maintenance While the Chemistry Department is not directly responsible for performing the work involved. At does remain responsitte to ensure the work is requested and completed.
- Discuss with the appropriate department the work involved, the frequency requirements and best methods for requesting such services.
Resolve conflicts and interdepartment problems. if any.
Milestone Date:
APR_90
- Add the requirements to the surveillance list and make formal request for necessary services.
Milestone Dates AFR 90 rollowup on request and ensure they are completed within the -
agreed upon time frame.
Provide technical assistance if needed.
Milestone Dated:
Drc 90 7.
Keeping Upper Managers Informed of status of Equipment, and consequences of equipment inoperability and proposed solutions.
- Provide a report on a specified periodicity to upper managers.
While the report format is flexible it is intended to provide concise information.
Technical discussion will be kept to a minimum.
- Problem, consequences and solution are the planned format. Milestone Date:
JAN 90 8.
Documentation of Actiona, Maintenance and Corrective Actions.
- Performance checks and standardizations will be documented in accordance appropriate procedures. No Milestone Date given because this documentation will go in of fect as each procedure is approved.
Maintenance, Actions and Corrective Action Logs will be maintained for appropriato instruments, systems,or components.
It is intended that such information be kept such that the history of any one component or instrument can be ascertained - without great effort. Milestone Date FEB 90 Page 5 of 5
