2.0 Purpose
The purpose of this inspection was to verify and validate the adequacy of
the licensee's implementation of the following task actions identified in
NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements:
Task No. Title
II.B.3. Post Accident Sampling Capability
II.F.1-1 Noble Gas Effluent Monitors
II.F.1-2 Sampling and Analysis of Plant Effluents
II.F.1-3 Containment High-Range Radiation Monitor
III.D.3.3 Improved Inplant Iodine Instrumentation
under Accident Conditions
3.0 Executive Summary
The following summary is a overview of the most significant findings of
this inspection.
3.1 Post Accident Sampling Capability, Item II.B.3
This review indicated that while the licensee considered the system
to be installed June 1,1983, pursuant to commitments contained in
i
,
O
,
3
1
the NRC " Order Confirming Licensee Commitments on Post-TMI Related
Issues," dated March 14, 1983, the item was not implemented and main-
tained in accordance with those commitments, in that the system was
never demonstrated nor could it function as described in submittals
to the NRC.
At the time of this inspection, in-line analytic components (i.e,
Boron Analyzer and pH Analyzer) were inoperable; and other equipment
(i.e., Radioisotopic Analyzer and Hydrogen /0xygen Analyzer) still
remained to be demonstrated as able to function as specified in sub-
mittals to the NRC. Additionally, it was determined that certain
valves necessary to establish sample flow through the system would
not operate during a system demonstration; and the system's ability
to provide diluted grab samples for backup analysis was not reliable
since a known dilution factor could not be verified.
Upon issuance of a specific Technical Specification referencing post-
accident sampling on February 22, 1985 (i.e., Section 3/4.7.13) the
licensee did document the systems continued inoperability, indicating
that the preplanned alternate method of processing samples was in
effect.
This inspection determined that the licensee was utilizing a sampling
technique involving the station's routine sample sink and post-acci-
dent sampling apparatus originally developed to meet interim require-
ments of NUREG-0578 to meet the backup sampling capability require-
ments of NUREG-0737. This sampling technique had not been submitted
to or evaluated by the Commission as to its adequacy in fulfilling
the requirements of NUREG-0737, Item II.B.3. Review of this sampling
method revealed that it was not preplanned, in that procedures were
not commensurate with actual system configuration, nor were personnel
trained in the method; and it was not a practicable sampling scheme
for post-accident conditions in that it likely involved incurring
personnel exposure in excess of GDC-19 criteria and could not be
demonstrated as a workable solution to post-accident sampling.
3.2 Noble Gas Effluent Monitors, Item II.F.1-1
The licensee is using two systems, the Wide Range Gas Monitoring
(WRGM) system and the Main Steam Effluent Radiation Monitor (MSERM)
system to meet the noble gas effluent pathway monitoring requirements
of NUREG-0737 for noble gas monitoring; however, the following con-
cerns were identified during this inspection:
The following concerns were identified relative to the WRGM system:
- A spare parts inventory for timely system repair is not main-
tained by the licensee.
- Problems with vent stack flow instrumentation require the use of
a default flow rate value.
l
'
D
.

The majority of required surveillance and maintenance procedures
for this system have not been developed. Consequently, formal-
ized training in these procedures has not been given.
The MSERM system will be used to monitor noble gas releases to the
atmosphere through the main steam line pathway. This system has not
been declared operational by the licensee. Equipment has been instal- -
led but final calibrations have not been completed. Licensee commit-
ments require operability for the Unit 1 system by the end of the
current outage and by December 31, 1985, for the Unit 2 system.
The following concerns were identified relative to the MSERM system:
Formal procedures and training controlling the operation and
upkeep of this system have not been developed.
Calibration data showing monitor response to noble gas activity
(in pCi/cc) was not available.
Information was not available demonstrating that the attenuation
of low range gammas by main steam piping had been considered in
determining detector response.
3.3 Sampling and Analysis of Plant Effluents, Item II.F.1-2
The licensee is utilizing the grab sampling capability of the Wide
Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) system to meet the radiciodine and particu-
late effluent sampling requirements of NUREG-0737. The WRGM
system allows diversion of the main vent stack sample stream through
shielded, quick disconnect particulate and iodine filters. These
filters can then be manually transported to the filter analysis point.
Based on a review of system capabilities the WRGM system was deter-
mined to be unacceptable in meeting the sampling requirements of
NUREG-0737, Item II.F.1-2. Of primary concern is the failure of the
licensee to demonstrate the system is providing representative iodine
and particulate sampling; and failure to perform operability surveil-
lance of the system in accordance with technical specifications.
Other concerns identified during this inspection include:
- Failure to address adequacy of the installed sample line heat
tracing to provide adequate heating under all ambient tempera-
ture conditions.
Failure to provide adequate procedures and personnel training
for filter removal, handling, and subsequent analysis.
i
l
l

- Failure to perform an adequate time and motion study for filter
retrieval and analysis which takes into account all radiation
sources.
3.4 Containment High Range Radiation Monitor, Item II.F.1-3
The licensee's implementation of this NUREG-0737 requirement generally
appeared to be in accord with the specifications. Since this system
is monitoring inside of containment and is expected to function in
accident conditions, such as LOCA, the installation was specified to
be environmentally qualified by NUREG-0737.
The licensee indicated in submittals to the NRC that the system was
installed pursuant to NUREG-0737 requirements. An NRC Confirmatory
Order documented this commitment. However, direct observation of the
installation in Unit I revealed that certain protective sleeving
necessary to assure environmental qualification of the monitors'
electrical connectors at the internal containment penetrations were
not installed due to a maintenance oversight. Such lack of protec-
tive sleeving would compromise the system's operation in accident
environments.
3.5 Inplant Radioiodine Monitoring, Item III.D.3.3
The licensee's implementation of this NUREG-0737 requirement gener-
ally appeared to be in accord with the specifications. The
licensee's Technical Specification 6.15 requires the implementation
of a personnel training program for monitoring radioiodine. Such a
program is defined in the licensee's procedures which specifies a
yearly requirement for training.
However, at the time of this inspection it was found that no personnel
have been trained in this area since February 1984, indicating that
the licensee has failed to implement the program as specified by
procedures.

5.0 Post Accident Sampling System, Item II.B.3.
5.1 Position
NUfiG-0737, Item II.B.3, specifies that licensees shall have the
capability to promptly collect, handle and analyze post-accident
samples which are representative of conditions existing in the
reactor coolant and containment atmosphere. Specific criteria are
denoted in commitments to the NRC relative to the specifications
contained in NUREG-0737.
Documents Reviewed
The implementation, adequacy and status of the licensee's post-acci-
dent sampling and monitoring systems were reviewed against the cri-
teria identified in Section 4.0 of this report and in regard to
licensee letters, memoranda, drawings and station procedures as
listed in Attachment I.A.
5.2 System Description
The Calvert Cliffs Post Accident Sampling System (CE-PASS) was
designed and built by Combustion Engineering. The system is designed
to permit in-line analysis of the chemical and isotopic content of
reactor coolant. The system also has provisions for the collection
of diluted reactor coolant samples for laboratory analysis.
The CE-PASS is common to both units. It consists of a control panel,
a sampling station, a shielded germanium radiation detector for
isotopic analysis, signal processing and power supply panels,
in-line analyzers for boron, pH, and dissolved gas (hydrogen and
oxygen) analyses, and valve operators. These components are
. . _ _ . _
_ .
.
.
.
7
all physically located in the Solid Waste Handling Room on the 45-
foot level of the Auxiliary Building.
From the control panel a chemistry technician can remotely control
and monitor in-line analysis of post-accident reactor coolant, and
quantify the sample with respect to hydrogen, oxygen, boron and pH.
Additionally, in-line radioisotopic analysis is provided to qualify
and quantify various radioisotopes in the reactor coolant. Chloride
determinations are made from a diluted grab sample provided by the
CE-PASS.
The signal processing panel contains the electronic circuitry needed
to process the germanium detector signals for subsequent interpreta-
tion at the chemistry laboratory's multi-channel analyzer. The power
supply panels contain devices used to provide regulated power to the
detector and signal processing circuits.
Figure 1, " Simplified Drawing-CE-PASS." depicts the general arrange-
ment of the system. It is designed to collect and to analyze reactor
coolant samples from:
a. the hot leg directly, at operating pressure;
b. the hot leg via low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI), at low
pressure; and
c. the containment sump, via the LPSI.
At the time of this inspection, the licensee considered backup sampling
and analysis capability required by NUREG-0737 to be provided by each
unit's Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) sample sink and associated
Post-Accident Sampling Apparatus (PASA) previously used to fulfill
interim post-accident sampling capability requirements specified in
NUREG-0578. By this method about 28 ml of undiluted reactor coolant
is collected in a 1/2" lead shielded sample bomb at the NSSS sink
(See Figure 2). The bomb is then transported to the chemistry labora-
tory and attached to the PASA (See Figure 3) for sample extraction.
The sample then is diluted as necessary to permit chemical and iso-
topic analyses via normal laboratory procedures.
The Containment Atmosphere Sampling System (depicted in Figure 1) is
a unshielded sample bomb assembly that is in-line with each unit's
hydrogen / oxygen analyzer; and is located in the vicinity of
the NSSS sink for each unit. A grab sample is expected to be taken
from the septum of the bomb via syringes. The syringes are then
l transported to the chemistry laboratory for hydrogen / oxygen analyses
- via gas chromatography and isotopic analyses using normal isotopic
analysis procedures.

5.3 CE-PASS System Status
The CE-PASS operability requirement is specified by Technical Specifi-
cation 3/4.7.13 " Post Accident Sampling" (See Attachment 2).
Following issuance of amended Technical Specifications on
February 22, 1985, the licensee declared the system inopertble on
March 5, 1985, and submitted a Special Report to the NRC to that
effect on March 29, 1985. This report stated that the preplanned
alternate method of processing samples was in effect, and estimated
that the system would be returned to operation by April 15, 1985.
On June 6, the licensee submitted another Special Report to the NRC
which indicated the CE-PASS continued to be inoperable due to com-
ponent failure, that the preplanned alternate sampling method was in
effect, and estimated that~the system would be returned to service by
July 3, 1985.
(Note: At the time of this inspection, the CE-PASS was still con-
sidered inoperable due to component failure. Following this inspec-
tion, the licensee submitted another Special Report on July 22, 1985,
indicating that additional problems with CE-PASS components resulted
in continued -inoperability, and estimated that the system would be
returned to service by July 31, 1985.)
The NRC's " Order Confirming Licensee Commitments on Post-TMI Related
Issues", dated March 14, 1983, documented that the CE-PASS had been
taken out o' service for vendor-recommended modifications and im-
provements; that all of the PASS sampling functions were expected to
be restored by June 1, 1983; and that as an interim measure, the
licensee would use the post-accident sampling system (NSSS sink /PASA
method) which was in use prior to installation of the CE-PASS.
The Order further confirmed, per the licensee's submittals referenced
'
in Section III of the Order, that the licensee would implement and
maintain post-accident sampling via an upgraded post accident samp-
lirg capability (CE-PASS) by June 1, 1983.
Examination of the Facility Change Request documentation affecting
the construction and establishment of the CE-PASS, and records of the
systems preoperational testing failed to indicate that the system was
ever verified by the licensee to be completely operational and able
to perform as indicated in the submittals to the NRC. Further, these
submittals were in reference only to the CE-PASS capabilities and did
not infer or reference any intended use of the NSSS sink /PASA method
as a backup or alternate sampling technique upon establishment of the
CE-PASS as the post-accident sampling system on June 1, 1983. Such
submittals were the bases of NRC's safety evaluation of the system,
which concluded on February 12, 1985, that the CE-PASS system met all
of the criteria
1

.
.
9
associated with NUREG-0737, Item II.B.3, " Post Accident Sampling".
Subsequently, on February 22, 1985, Technical Specifications relative
to the system were issued.
Based on a review of the licensee's maintenance records and dis-
cussions with cognizant personnel, it was observed that there have
been continual problems with the system including leaking valves,
valves which have been inoperative under system pressure, inoperable
system components, and erroneous instrument indications. As a re-
sult, the system has not been available for developing and verifying
procedures, and subsequent training of personnel.
No fully integrated or complete test of the system's capability to
collect and analyze samples had been conducted. For example:
1. The Technical Specification 3/4.7.13 require that the system be
able to collect a reactor coolant sample from the hot leg and
the Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI); and a containment sump
sample via the LPSI. Based on the data presented, only sample
acquisition from the Unit 2 hot leg had been tested on June 10,
1985. At the time of this inspection documented tests to
establish that samples can be collected from the LPSI at low
reactor coolant pressure had not been performed.
2. The system's analytical instruments have not been tested using
the NRC recommended standard test matrix solution to determine
possible chemical interference that might affect analytical
capability.
3. The system had not been tested to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the method of sample dilution. Sample dilution capability
was found on June 10, 1985 to be insufficient to permit reactor
coolant chemical and isotopic analyses within the tolerances
specified in licensae submittals.
4. Only one test on June 10, 1985 has been documented to establish
the accuracy of the in-line analysis of radionuclides. This
test revealed that just prior to the inspection, an anyalsis
error of a factor of 80 for some radionuclides could be
expected, and the NUREG-0737 required tactor of 2 could not be
generally achieved.
During the inspection, it was also noted that the germanium detector
efficiencies provided by the vendor have not been verified for
accuracy, and that the radiation background at post-accident
conditions has not been considered in the functioning of the
detector.

5.4 CE-PASS Capability Demonstration
On June 26, 1985, an exercise of the CE-PASS was attempted, but could
not be performed, in that:
1. The Emergency Procedure (ERPIP 4.4.7.6) provided for th'e
operation of the system had not been updated to agree with the
current design configuration. As a result, it could not be
used. Subsequently, the technicians were required to rely on
the surveillance procedure (RCP-1-407) in an attempt to operate
the system.
2. The licensee was unable to sample from the Unit 2 Hot Leg. It
was later found that the jacking bolt to the Unit 2 Hot Leg
sample acquisition valve, 2-CV-5105, had been previously
tightened down on the valve in an effort to repair a chronic
seat leakage problem. The valve was not tested following this
" repair". The licensee's subsequent evaluation indicated that
the jacking bolt had effectively locked the valve in a closed
position, preventing any operation.
3. Further testing of the system was prevented when CE-PASS sample
exhaust valves 1-SV-6529 and 2-SV-6529 failed to function,
preventing sample flow.
These items will be reviewed in a subsequent inspection
(317/85-16-02; 318/85-14-02).
5.5 Preplanned Alternate Sampling Method Status
With the operability of the post-accident sampling system, CE-PASS,
less than the Limiting Condition of Operation specified in Technical
Specification 3.7.13, the licensee is required to initiate the
" preplanned alternate method of processing specified samples" within
72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
The licensee's Special Reports to the NRC (Regional Administrator,
Region I) dated March 29 and June 6, 1985 indicated that such method
was in effect due to CE-PASS inoperability.
, The preplanned alternate backup sampling method as described and
understood from submittals to the NRC dated November 30, 1982,
'
involved the use of the CE-PASS to provide diluted grab samples for
laboratory analysis, with a provision for offsite analysis if
necessary. The licensee never addressed the use of the NSSS sink
I
with reference to the requirements of NUREG-0737 and did not indicate ,
in submittals that the NSSS sink /PASA method would be employed as a '
i backup to the CE-PASS. Consequently, this method was not analyzed
- . - -. _- -__- , - _ - - - . - - - ._
.
.
11
pursuant to the criteria of NUREG-0737, Item II.B.3; was not subject
.
^
to safety evaluation, and consequently could not be considered as the
" preplanned alternate method" referenced in the Technical
Specifications.
However, at least since March 5, 1985, (when the licensee first
declared the system inoperable pursuant to technical specification
requirements) and probably earlier considering maintenance history,
the NSSS sink /PASA assembly provided the licensee's only post ac-
cident sampling capability. Until July 22, 1985, it was considered
by the licensee to be the " preplanned alternate method of processing
specified samples" pursuant to Technical Specification 3.7.13.
The NSSS sink /PASA niethod was reviewed during this inspection effort
to determine if the system could be considered as meeting the
specification of NUREG-0737, Item II.B.3. The following was noted:
1. No approved procedure existed for the operation of the system in
the present configuration.
2. No personnel have been formally trained in the NSSS sink /PASA
method.
3. During a test of the NSSS sink /PASA method the operator
experienced a considerable difficulty in the extraction of the
sample from the bomb. Undiluted reactor coolant was forced out
of the top of a burette in the PASA assembly, with a consequent
loss of sample. This could have resulted in significant
personnel exposure, and facility and equipment contamination in
an actual post accident condition.
4. The PASA assembly was not structurally sound. The operator had
to hold the assembly in place in order to apply enough force to
attach the sample bomb. Additionally, all of the sample
containing components of the PASA assembly, excepting tubing,
were laboratory glassware. Such glassware could be subject to
breakage in a post accident condition rendering the system
inoperable and subjecting personnel, facilities and equipment to
significant contamination.
5. The NSSS sink /PASA assembly was not provided with any shielding
to reduce personnel exposure (excepting 1/2" of lead on the
sample bomb). Additionally, the system has no provisions for
remote operation or handling of components or processes; and
required considerable direct personnel contact with components
and valves that contained undiluted reactor coolant. With the
exception of a shield wall and wide view mirror assembly to
observe coolant flow in the NSSS sink, and a cart with lead
bricks to transport the sample bomb to the radiochemistry
laboratory, the method did not employ provisions to reduce
personnel exposure. Though the procedure (ERPIP 4.4.7.4) did
,
_
.
.
12
.
specify the use of lead-line gloves and aprons, such equipment
was not available.
6. A time and motion study to demonstrated that a sample could be
collected and analyzed without exceeding GDC 19 dose criteria
has not been conducted. It is unlikely that, without
significant upgrading of personnel training, procedures, and
ALARA considerations, the method would provide a realistic and
workable option in the post accident condition.
7. The analysis procedure (ERPIP 4.4.7.4) did not contain pro-
visions for the analysis of hydrogen and pH for post-accident
samples.
8. The position indicator for the sample line isolation valve 5467
produced erratic indication. Further, the valve could not be
closed after sample acquisition at the NSSS sink.
The NSSS sink /PASA method did not appear to provide a realistic and
practicable option in the post accident condition; and the licensee's
capability did not appear to be " preplanned" with respect to Tech-
nical Specification 3/4.7.13, in that:
1. the method may require personnel exposure beyond the dose limits
of GDC 19;
2. the PASA is not structurally sound and is highly susceptible to
breakage and inadvertent sample spillage;
3. the method relies upon the acceptance of high risk of radio-
logical controls (i.e., personnel exposure, and facility and
equipment contamination) and a low probability of success,
particularly in successive sampling operations;
4. the method compromises the use of the NSSS sink for other samp-
ling activities due to resultant high dose rates, since there is
no sample line purge ability.
5. adequate procedure development and personnel training have not
been performed.
In summary, it appears that the licensee had failed to implement and
maintain the CE-PASS as required by the NRC Confirmatory Order, dated
March 14, 1983; and did not implement a preplanned alternate method
of sample processing sufficient for the requirements of Technical
Specifications 3/4.7.13 (317/85-16-03; 318/85-14-03).

5.6 Containment Air Sampling and Analysis Capability and Status
On June 26, 1985, a containment air sample was collected. However,
the following problems and concerns were noted:
1. A single common key was specified for opening two of the
isolation valves. The valves could not be opened consecutively
, because the switches had been earlier replaced with key capture
switches which prevented the use of a single key for two
switches at the same time.
Although, this change had been made about two months previous to
this inspection, the information had not been incorporated in
procedures or transmitted for personnel training and
information.
It was also indicated by the technician that the same set of
keys should have been capable of opening valves for Unit 1 and
2; however, only one of the two valves could be opened for
Unit 1 with the keys provided.
2. A technical basis for the purge times used in the procedure was
not developed.
'
3. A flow-rate indicator has not been installed to verify gas flow
in the system. A pressure indicator was relied on to indicate
flow-rate. However, since pressure can exist without flow, the
device did not provide positive flow indication. This was con-
firmed when the operator improperly aligned the valves which
resulted in a pressure indication at the collection point with
no flow.
4. Although remote handling tools, lead gloves and a lead-lined
apron were specified for use in the procedure ERPIP 4.4.7.2,
this equipment was not provided or available for use.
5. The procedure required the extraction of a gas sample from the
collection bomb with a syringe that was not rated for the
expected sample pressure.
6. The sample was extracted from a dead leg portion of the sample
rig, which may not be representative of actual containment
conditions.
7. A time and motion study was not performed sufficient to assure
that the sample could be collected and analyzed within GDC-19
dose limits. The sample rig is located in the normal sampling
room, which may be subject to excessive radiation levels after
an accident if the NSSS sink was used for post accident coolant
sampling.

8. The operator appeared unfamiliar with the control panel. This
required him to expend time searching for valve switches. At
one point during the test an incorrect valve was opened.
Although a containment air sample was collected, the activity was too
low to. permit a valid test of the licensee's analytic capability.
> The following items were noted with reference to Core Damage
Assessment ERPIPs:
1. Containment iodine activity is required by procedure to estimate
core damage; however, the containment atmosphere sampling system
design has not been evaluated to determine if a representative
iodine sample can be collected via this mode.
2. The core damage procedure corrects for containment pressure and
temperature. However, based on the method used to collect and
analyze the sample, corrections may not be required.
This area will be examined in a subsequent inspection
(317/85-16-04; 318/85-14-04).
6.0 Noble Gas Effluent Monitor, Item II.F.1-1
6.1 Position
NUREG-0737, Item-II.F.1-1 requires the installation of noble gas
monitors with an extended range designed to function during normal
operating and accident conditions. The criteria, including the
design basis range of monitors for individual release pathways, power
supply, calibration and other design considerations are set forth in '
. Table II.F.1-1 of NUREG-0737.
Documents Reviewed
The implementation, adequacy, and status of the licensee's monitoring
systems were reviewed against the criteria identified in Section 4.0
and in regard to licensee letters, memoranda, drawings and station
procedures as listed in Attachment 1.B.
The licensee's performance relative to these criteria was determined
by interviewing the principal persons associated with the design,
testing, installation and surveillance of the high range gas
monitoring systems, reviewing associated procedures and
documentation, examining personnel qualifications and direct
observation of the system design and operation.
6.2 Findings
Within the scope of this review the following were identified:
.
.
.

6.2.1 Description and Capability
The licensee has installed a GA Technology's, Wide Range Gas
Monitor (WRGM) system for each unit to monitor noble gas
releases through the main vent stacks. This system was added to
compliment the pre-existing plant main vent monitor and to
increase detection range. The WRGM system operationally
replaces the existing noble gas detectors, however, the existing
detectors are still maintained.
Separate WRGM systems are provided for monitoring the Unit I and
2 main vent stacks. Each system provides 3 channels of varying
sensitivity to provide coverage of the desired dynamic range.
The low range channel consists of an isokinetic sampling head
connected by heat traced tubing to a sample conditioning module
containing particulate and iodine filters. The sample then
passes to the sample detection module which includes a 2 cfm
pump and a plastic scintillator radiation detector. The
intermediate /high range detectors have a separate sampling
system sized for isokinetic sampling at 0.6 cfm, including heat
traced lines and shielded iodine and particulate filters. The
detectors used for this portion of the system are CdTe(C1)
directly coupled to 30 cm3 and .02 cm3 gas volumes.
Collectively, the detectors for the low range and
intermediate /high range sample channels monitor activity
concentrations from 10 7 to 105 pCi/cm 3 . They provide at least
one decade of overlap between ranges.
A microprocessor is included in each WRGM system to control the
sample flow rate, which filter and detector channels are used;
and to compute and display release information.
A simplified diagram of the WRGM system is shown in Figure 4.
The Main Steam Effluent Radiation Monitor System (MSERM) will be
used to monitor potential noble gas releases to the atmosphere
from the main steam line. Two separate radiation monitors are
included in the monitoring system for each Unit, providing one
monitor for each steam generator. The radiation monitors are
situated in the MSIV room of the Auxiliary Building to view the
effluent activity in each main steam line between the steam
generator and the turbine in the piping section preceeding the
i
6.2.2 Operational Status
At the time of this inspection, the Unit 1 WRGM system was not
! operational due to a faulty RM-23 readout monitor in the control
! room. An inventory of spare parts was not available to allow

rapid replacement of the RM-23 board. The Unit 2 WRGM system
was found to be operational.
The licensee has identified problems with the main vent stack
flow detection instrumentation and consequently is using a
default flow rate value for both WRGM systems as an input to the
microprocessor for calculation of release activity. The conse-
, quences of using this default valve with respect to the system's
isokinetic sampling capability requires further investigation.
This will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection (317/85-16-
<
05;-318/85-14-05).
The MSERM System had not been declared operational by the licensee
at the time of this inspection. The detectors and ratemeters
have been installed, but the system requires in place calibration
and the development of alarm setpoints and procedures. Addi-
tionally, review of the licensee's documentation for this system
identified the following concerns:
-
Calibration data showing detector response to noble gas
activity rather than dose rate was not available. This
data will be required to relate monitor readout (mr/hr) to
main steam activity.
-
Information was not available during the inspection demon-
strating that the attenuation of low-energy gammas by the
main steam line piping had been considered in determining
monitor response.
These items will be reviewed in a subsequent inspection (317/
85-15-06; 318/85-14-06).
6.2.3 Procedures and Training
Review of licensee procedures and associated training involving
the WRGM system indicated that procedures and training are in an
early stage of development. Specifically, the following was
identified. ;
!
-
The majority of necessary Surveillance Test Procedures and
associated Preventive Maintenance procedures for the WRGM
system have not been developed.
-
The licensee's Emergency procedures do not specifically
reference the use of the WRGM system as an input method for
obtaining stack release rate. Additionally, a study
evaluating WRGM detector response to varying isotope mixes
predicted for varying time intervals after the accident was
not evaluated by Emergency Planning as to effect on offsite
dose calculations.

The individual displaying WRGM centrol room readouts during
this inspection could not interrogate the system.
i
Additionally, no formalized procedures or training had been
developed to control activities associated with the operation or
"
maintenance of the MSERM and WRGM systems. Licensee development
of procedores and training in this area will be reviewed
in a subsequent inspection (317/85-16-07; 318/85-14-07).
6.3 Acceptability
The licensee's WRGM system provisionally fulfills the noble gas
monitoring requirements of NUREG-0737, II.F.1-1, pending correction
of the discrepancies identified above. Due to the non-operational
status of the MSERM System, the licensee has yet to demonstrate
capability for monitoring noble gas releases through the steam
-line.
7.0 Sampling and Analyses of Plant Effluents, Item II.F.1-2
, 7.1 Position
NUREG-0737, Item II.F.1-2, requires the provision of a capability for
the collection, transport, and measurement of representative samples
of radioactive iodines and particulates that may accompany gaseous
effluents following an accident. Such activities must be performable
without exceeding specified dose limits to the individuals involved.
The criteria including the design basis shielding envelope, sampling
- media,- sampling considerations, and analysis considerations are set
forth in NUREG-0737, Table II.F.1-2.
Documents Reviewed
The implementation, adequacy and status of the licensee's sampling
and analysis system and procedures were reviewed against the criteria
identified in Section 4.0 and in regard to licensee letters, memo-
randa, drawings and station procedures as Itsted in Attachment 1.B.
I
The licensee's performance relative to these criteria was determined
'
. by interviewing the principal persons associated with the design,
testing, installation, and surveillance of the systems for sampling
and analysis of high activity radiotodine and particulate effluents,
by reviewing associated procedures and documentation, by examining *
personnel qualifications, and by direct observation of the system 5
design and operation.

7.2 Findings
Within the scope of this review, the following items were identified:
7.2.1 Descriptions and Capability
The licensee is intending to use the grab-sample capability of
the Wide Range Gas Monitoring (WRGM) system to meet the radio-
iodine and particulate sampling requirements of NUREG-0737, Item
II.F.1-2. As described previously in section 6.0, the licensee
maintains two independent WRGM systems for independent
monitoring of each unit's main vent stack. Each system samples
the main vent stack with two separate sampling pathways; a high
flow, low range pathway and a low flow, intermediate /high range
pathway.
Both the low range and the intermediate /high range sample
pathways of the WRGM system feature a grab-sample capability
with quick disconnect particulate and iodine (silver zeolite)
filters. Filters on the intermediate /high range pathway are
enclosed in shielded casks which can be removed from the
sampling skid for transport. Diversion of the effluent sample
through the grab-sample filters and timing of the grab-sample
duration can be controlled remotely from the control room.
The high flow (2 scfm) low range sampling pathway line for each
WRGM system is made of 3/4 inch outer diameter stainless steel.
The low flow (0.06 scfm), intermediate /high range sampling path-
way is made of 1/4 inch outer diameter stainless steel. These
lines are nearly 200 feet in length and contain about a dozen
right angle bends. The sampling lines are heat traced from each
stack to the sampling filter skids.
In light of the sampling line lengths and pathways, as de-
scribed, significant radioiodine and particulate line losses due
to plateout and deposition can be expected for this sampling
configuration. However, the licensee has not performed a line
loss evaluation to quantify the loss and determine appropriate
correction factors. Currently, the licensee assumes 100% trans-
mittal efficiency through the sampling lines. This item will be
reviewed in a subsequent inspection (317/85-16-08; 318/85-14-
08).
An operability surveillance requirement for the main vent iodine
and particulate sampling capability was established as an
'
amendment to the Technical Specifications on February 22, 1985.
Technical Specification Section 4.3.3.8. requires that, "the main
vent iodine and particulate sampler shall be demonstrated
operable by comparing samples independently drawn from the main
vent at least once per month." The inspector determined by
discussion with licensee chemistry personnel that the required

comparison has never been performed to demonstrate operability I
of either the Unit 1 or Unit 2 sampling capability. This
finding appears to constitute a violation of NRC requirements
-
,
(317/85-16-9;318/85-14-9).
]
The licensee is currently relying on the installed heat tracing
on the sampling lines to prevent condensation and subsequent
sampling problems with the sample lines. However, no evaluation
has been performed to demonstrate the capability of the heat
tracing to provide adequate heating to the sample lines under
all ambient temperature conditions. Additionally, at the time
of this inspection the heat tracing for the Unit 1 WRGM system
was found to be non-operational. The licensee indicated by sub-
sequent telephone conversation on July 29, 1985 that this had
been corrected.
7.2.2 Capability Demonstration i
A demonstration of grab sample acquisition, retrieval, and ,
analysis was performed during this inspection using procedure
RCP 1-405. Two chemistry technicians were assigned the task of
retrieval of the grab sample filter casks. The casks were then
transported to the chemistry laboratory for analysis. The
inspector identified the following problems during the filter
retrieval and analysis operation.
,
The technicians had not received formal training in the !
procedure describing grab sample retrieval.
The procedure did not specify tools or equipment that might
be required. One technician had to exit the area during
the operation to obtain a wrench. This may cause addi-
tional personnel exposure during accident conditions.
- The procedure did not provide guidance relative to
personnel exposure considerations.
- Filter cask removal from the skid was difficult to perform
and required two technicians approximately 25 minutes.
During this period, the technicians were in close proximity
to the grab sample cask and other scrubbing filters on the
l sampling skid.
< * No procedures were available to control handling of the
,
shield assembly or analysis of the filters in the
laboratory.
- No remote manipulating tools were available in the i
chemistry laboratory to handle the filters. !
'
A letter from D. G. Weiss (General Atomics) to H. B. Wylie ,
[ (BG&E), dated 4/26/82, indicated exposure from retrieval of the

grab sample cask would be less than 5 rem whole body. Weiss
assumed work at a distance of one meter from a single cask. The
sample was 30 minutes in duration and activity levels were
assumed to be 2 x 102 uCi/cm 3
. The flow rate was 0.06 scfm.
The Weiss study did not account for 1) the time and motion
involved in separating the cask from the skid, 2) the proximity
of the person to the surface of three casks on the skid, and 3)
the activity of radiciodine on the scrubbing filters.
Concerns listed above, that were identified during the
licensee's demonstration of their grab sample capability will be
reviewed in a subsequent inspection (317/85-16-10;
318/85-14-10).
Currently, the grab sample capability of the WRGM system is less
than adequate in fulfilling the requirements of NUREG-0737, Item
II.F.1-2. This system had not been demonstrated to provide
representative samples, surveillance requirements have not been
implemented, procedures and personnel training are insufficient,
and personnel exposure considerations are not complete.
8.0 Containment High Range Radiation Monitor, Item II.F.1-3
8.1 Position
NUREG-0737, Item II.F.1-3 requires the installation of high range
radiation monitors capable of detecting and measuring radiation
levels within the reactor containment during and following an acci-
dent. Specific requirements are set forth in NUREG-0737, Table
II.F.1, Attachment 3.
Documents Reviewed
The implementation, adequacy and status of the licensee's containment
high range radiation monitoring system was reviewed against criteria
identified in Section 4.0 and in regard to licensee letters, memo-
randa, drawings and station procedures as listed in Attachment 1.C.
8.2 Description
The licensee has installed two General Atomics, Incorporated (GA),
Model RD-23 Gamma Radiation Detectors (gamma ionization chambers) in
each reactor unit. Model RP-2C Readout Modules are installed in each
unit's control room. The RD-23 is capable of detecting radiation
from 10' to 10' R/hr. As a safety monitor, it satisfied Class 1E
requirements and is qualified under LOCA conditions per IEEE 323-1974. The detectors are encased in stainless steel to protect
them from containment sprays and high temperatures.

The following specifications apply:

Range 10 to 10' R/hr
Sensitivity ~ 1x10 ' amp /R/hr
Max. Temperature 350 F
Max. Pressure 70 psig
Humidity 0-100*.' (saturated steam)
Seismic Qualification Per IEEE 344-1975
Adequate vendor calibration sufficient per instrument type certifi-
cation was verified. Though the system is not yet subject to tech-
nical specifications, the licensee conducts monthly surveillance
tests to verify operability, i.e., STP-0-98-1[2], " Containment High
Range Monitor Monthly Test." Vital Class IE power sources are used
for each instrument channel.
Startup and operation of the system is described in 01-35, " Radiation
Monitoring System", which is supported by formalized lessons plans
for personnel training. Calibration test procedures are performed at
refueling outages in accord with M-562-1, " Containment High Range
Monitor Alignment Check" and M-563-1, " Containment High Range Monitor
Source Check." The source check procedure subjects the instrument to
two dose rates within the 10 R/hr range.
Two independent monitors are located in each containment at the 73'
elevation. The monitors are on No. 12 & 22 Steam Generator cubicles,
and on each unit's Pressurizer cubicle. Sufficient view and volume
appears to be monitored by this configuration.
8.3 Findings
Submittals made to the NRC with respect to this monitoring require-
ment and incorporated in the NRC Confirmatory Order dated March 14,
1983, indicated that the installation was as prescribed by
NUREG-0737, i.e., developed and qualified to function in an accident
environment. To this end, each instrument channel is expected to be
comprised of an instrument assembly (i.e., detector,
detector-to-cable connector, cable, and cable-to penetration
connector) that is environmentally qualified for LOCA conditions.
On June 26 and 27, 1985, it was verified that the cable-to--
penetration connectors for each channel in Unit I were not sleeved
with any RAYCHEM sleeving material. Such sleeving was necessary to
assure that the Amphenol cable connector (part #82-816), which was
,
used in lieu of the originally specified part identified in Field
'
Change Request (FCR) 79-1057, would be environmentally qualifled.
l The Field Equipment Change (FEC) 79-1057-6(p) failed to specify the
l sleeving, though required for environmental qualification. The
l
result of this oversight is that Unit 1 installation was not
.

sufficient to assure the capability of detecting and measuring
radiation levels within the Unit I reactor containment during and
following an accident, for the period between March 14, 1983 (the
date of the NRC Confirmatory Order), and June 26, 1985.
The licensee later confirmed to NRC management that the proper sleev-
ing was originally installed properly on the Unit 2 cable-to pene-
tration connectors; and the Unit 1 deficiency had been corrected.
Other aspects of this area appear to be in accord with the require-
ments specified in NUREG-0737.
This item appears to constitute a violation of NRC requirements
(317/85-16-11; 318/85-14-11).
9.0 III.D.3.3 Improved Inplant Iodine Instrumentation Under
Accident Conditions ,
9.1 Position
NUREG-0737, Item III.D.3.3 requires that each licensee shall provide
equipment and associated training and procedures for accurately
determining the airborne iodine concentration in areas within the
facility where plant personnel may be present during an accident.
Technical Specifications 6.15, " Iodine Monitoring" requires the
licensee to implement a program which will ensure the capability to
accurately determine the airborne iodine concentration in vital areas
under accident conditions. This program requires the following:
1. Training of personnel,
2. Procedures for monitoring, and
3. Provisions for maintenance of sampling and analysis equipment.
The implementation, adequacy, and status of the licensee's in plant
iodine monitoring under accident conditions was reviewed against the
criteria in Section 4.0 and in regard to the following documents:
--
Procedure No. ERPIP 4.1.5, Revision 9, " Radiation Protection

9.2 Findings !
An onsite monitoring team is designated to perform in plant radio-
logical surveys, including radiotodine monitoring, in post-accident
conditions. Twelve technicians have been selected to perform the
duty as part of the licensee's program for emergency response.
& A portion of the licensee's program to ensure the capability to
accurately determine iodine concentration in post-accident conditions
is defined by Training Instruction 5, which requires yearly training
for personnel assigned to the onsite monitoring team.
From review of personnel training records it was noted that the last
training to be performed in this area was conducted during February,
1984; and at that time only seven of twelve designated personnel were
provided with such training. This appears to be contrary to the
licensee's program requirements of Technical Specification 6.15, and
associated implementing procedures (317/85-16-12/ 318/85-14-12).
The licensee indicated that ERPIP 4.1.7 defines the scope of acti-
vities for the Onsite Monitoring Team. Review of this procedure
revealed that 1) in plant radioiodine monitoring was not addressed in
the procedure, and 2) the procedure did not detail any in plant moni-
toring activities. This item will be reviewed in a subsequent
inspection (317/85-16-13; 318/85-14-13).
Relative to other areas affecting in plant radiofodine monitoring, it
was noted that the licensee had provisions for the maintenance of
sampling and analysis equipment. Such equipment appeared to be of
sufficient type, quality and quantity to assure an adequate capabi-
lity.
Silver zeolite cartridges are used for iodine sampling during
post-accident conditions, and are subject to clean air purging prior
to radioanalysis.
10.0 Exit Interview
The inspector met with the licensee management representatives (denoted in
Section 1.0) at the conclusion of this inspection on June 28, 1985, to
discuss the scope and findings of the inspection as detailed in this
report. At that time, the licensee's representatives were informed that a
management meeting to discuss these findings and the licensee's corrective
actions would be held on July 11, 1985, at NRC Region I.
