Georgia Power Company hereby provides the following information in response to the violation cited in WC I&E Report 50-321/85-01 and 50-366/85-01 dated February 15, 1985.
The subject violations were identified during the NRC -
inspection conducted at Plant Hatch by Mr. G. B. Kuzo of your staff on January 21 through JanuaIy 25, 1985.-
Violation:
Technical. Specification 6.8.1.a requires that written pIncedures shall be established, - implemented and maintained covering the applicable proceduzes recommended in Appendix "A" of RegulatoIy Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, FebruaIy_1978.
Section 5.6 Iequires detailed written procedures shall be prepared and followed for all activities involved in implementing the Environmental Technical Specifications.
HNP-0-CCP-7602
" Monitoring Program for Detection of Releases via Unplanned Routes" requires quarterly samples fIom selected areas.
HW-0-CCP-7215 " Gamma Spectroscopy System Ge(L1)" requires that Iotation and calibration of standards will be assured by a schedule maintained by the counting room.
The current schedule listed all required standard Ge(Li) calib rations.
Contrary. to the above, proceduIes for Iouting sampling for unmonitored Ieleases and calibration of Ge(Li) detectors were not adhered to in that:
(a) For 1984, samples were collected only for the second quarter.
(HNP-0-CCP-7602)
. (b) For 1984, numerous. geometries for the Ge(L1) systems had not been calibrated as Iequired by the current laboratoIy schedule.
(HP-0-CCP-7215)
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).
