Gentlemen:

Subject: Combined Inspection Nos. 50-317/85-16; 50-318/85-14

This letter confirms your commitments made during a telephone conference

held on August 23, 1985, between Mr. J. Tiernan, Manager, Nuclear Power,

and other members of your staff and Messrs. T. Martin, W. Kane, and

other members of my staff. The issues addressed were discussed during a

recent Enforcement Conference held in the Region'I office on August 14,

1985 concerning your implementation of certain NUREG-0737 items. These

issues involved technical, administrative and managerial problems which

led to the deterioration of post-accident sampling, analyses and

measurements . capabilities of reactor coolant, reactor containment .and

effluent parameters.

With regard to the matters discussed, it is our understanding that the

following actions have been or will be taken by September 20, 1985.

A. Verify ' operability of the Combustion Engineering Post-Accident

Sampling System (CE-PASS) grab sampling capability. Operability.

will be demonstrated by drawing samples from the reactor coolant

system and demonstrating analytical accuracy -required by

NUREG-0737. Any concerns with analytical accuracy will be resolved

-with the NRC staff.

B. Establish a procedure for periodic surveillance of the capability

to dilute CE-PASS grab samples to ensure accurate assessment of

chemical / isotope concentrations within tolerances specified in

-NUREG-0737.

C. Establish an action plan and schedule for implementing, (1) a

permanent post-accident sampling capability which satisfies

NUREG-0737 analytical requirements and (ii) a post-accident

radiciodine and particulate effluent monitoring capability that

provides' representative measurements of the effluent stream from

,

each reactor unit vent stack.
