l NOTICE OF DEVIATION r
j Continuous Air Monitoring l
l The licensee committed in ANO, Unit 1 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR),
Section 11.3.2.3 and Unit 2 FSAR, Section 12.4.2.3 to have four continuous air samplers per unit capable of continuously monitoring and recording l
particulate and gaseous activity.
l l
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on April 19, 1985, that l
only two continuous air samplers were operable with the necessary I
characteristics to satisfy the ANO, Units 1 and 2 FSAR commitments.
(50-313/8509-01; 50-368/8509-01)
Response
The referenced sections of the ANO-1 and ANO-2 FSARs describe the portable l
continuous air monitors (CAMS) which were originally purchased for service l
at ANO.
This description includes the particular vendor characteristics and capabilities of the original CAMS.
A total of sixteen CAMS were originally provided, which surpassed the four per unit discussed in the FSARs.
The original CAM units proved difficult to maintain.
Procurement of spare parts for these units also proved to be difficult.
Over time, parts from failed CAM units were used to maintain other units and the total number of CAMS l
available decreased.
Due to the decreased number of original CAM units and their poor reliability, additional units were purchased from another vendor.
The new units have similar capabilities to the original CAMS.
At the time of the inspection three of the new CAM units were available for use along with the two original units discussed in the notice of deviation.
In addition, three additional new CAM units had been procured, but necessary procedures had not yet been approved for their use.
Presently, six of the original CAMS and the six new units are operational and located in strategic areas of both units, thus ensuring compliance with the number of units described in the FSARs.
A change to the FSARs has been initiated to reflect current practices and to account for differences in the capabilities of the various CAM units.
In addition, an evaluation of program enhancements for the air monitoring has l
been performed.
Recommendations resulting from this evaluation will be l
reviewed and implemented as necessary to ensure proper precautions are taken to prevent unnecessary. exposure to airborne activity.
