R1.1 Imolementation of the Radioloaical Environmental Monitorina Proara_rn
a. Insoection Scope (84750)
The inspector observed and assessed the licensee's capability to implement the
radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP). The program was inspected
against ODCM Sections 3.8.E.1 and 3.8.E.2, Regulatory Guide 4.1, " Programs for
Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants," and the Updated
Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
b. Observations and Findinas
I
The inspector examined selected sampling stations to determine whether samples
were being obtained from the locations designated in the ODCM and whether air
samplers were operable and calibrated. Air sampling equipment was calibrated at
l the frequency specified in the associated procedure. The sampling stations included l
l air samplers for iodines and particulates, composite water sampling stations located
at the plant intake and discharge, milk farms, vegetation locations, and
thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) stations for measurement of direct ambient
! radiation. All air sampling equipment and water compositors at the selected
locations were functioning as designed. The sampling equipment, as evidenced by
the sample log books and analysis results, had operated continuously through the
year with few exceptions. The above environmental sampling media were available
at the locations designated in the ODCM, and TLDs were placed at locations
l designated in the ODCM. Analytical results did not indicate any anomalous trends.
l Sampling and analysis was performed as required. Compensatory sampling
'
(suriace, drinking water) was performed as required when applicable. Although the
number of samples taken had been reduced, the licensee continued to collect and
j analyze more samples than required by the ODCM. Program changes were made in
l 1995 and were documented in the annual Radiological Environmental Operating
Report (REOR). The changes made have not reduced the original intent of the
! REMP. 1

Review of the land use census, required yearly by the ODCM, revealed that the
licensee performed the census in 1994,1995 and 1996. During the 1994 census,
! the licensee noted that a milk farm close to the plant had been reestablished. ;
l During the 1995 census, completed in September 1995, the licensee calculated the !
D/O values for all the sectors and determined that the "new" farm has a D/O value i
j (a calculated dose or dose commitment) that is at least 20% greater than the
I location from which samples were currently being obtained in accordance with 1
l ODCM Section 3.8.E.1. The licensee added the new location to the REMP and
I included the reew milk location to the ODCM. (The licensee expects the next
revision, Rev.10, to be published by the end of December 1996.) Changes made in
1995 will be documented in the 1996 REOR.
1
The inspector also reviewed the wind direction (wind roses) and D/O values from '
the past five (5) years and compared them to the preoperational wind roses,
documented in the UFSAR Section 2.3.26, to detect changes, if any, in the 1
prevalent and least prevalent wind direction. No significant changes were found. I
The environmental monitoring control stations are still located in the lean prevalent
wind direction.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Direct Radiation Monitoring
Network is operated by the NRC (Region l} to provide continuous measurements of i
the ambient radiation levels around nuclear power plants throughout the United
States. Each site is monitored by approximately 30 to 50 thermoluminescent !
! dosimeter stat:ons in two concentric rings extending to about 5 miles from the
power plant. The monitoring results are published quarterly in NUREG-0837.
During the period covered by this inspection, three of the NRC TLDs were
collocated v,ith licensee TLDs at the Peach Bottom plant site as indicated in
Table 1. Yhe licensee's dosimeters, as of January 1995, are the same model J
dosimeter used by the NRC. Previously, the licensee used dosimeters which
contain cs!cium sulfate activated with dysprosium (CaSO.:Dy), which were supplied
and analyzed by Teledyne isotopes, Inc. The NRC uses the Panasonic Model 801
dosimeter, which contains two elements of lithium borate activated with copper,
(Li,BO,:Cu) and two elements of calcium sulfate activated with thulium (CaSO,:Tm). !
l
The licensee quarterly monitoring periods correlate well with the quarterly periods of
the NRC. During this inspection, the monitoring results of collocated TLDs were
compared, and the results are listed in Table 2. These reported values are the mean
+/-1 standard deviation for all quarters for which net data were available. The
relatively small standard deviations indicate that the NRC results have remained
- consistent over the 10-year period. The NRC " historical average" data are reported
'
in NUREG-0837. The licensee results, generally, are somewhat below those of the
NRC, and, for example, may be due to different methods of calibration of the two
i systems or differences in transit doses.

b. Observations and Findinas l
Calibration and functional tests of the meteorological instrumentation were
performed using the above IC procedures. Calibration results from January 1995 -
December 1996 were reviewed. The licensee calibrated the instruments every 6
months as required by the UFSAR commitments and the RG 1.23 recommendations.
Functional checks from October - December 1996 were reviewed. The functional
checks were performed weekly as required in the UFSAR and the procedure, RT-0-
094-800-2. Results of the calibrations were within the established acceptance
criteria recommended by the vendor. Instrumentation was well maintained. The
inspector noted that the licensee had recently drafted a procedure to ensure paper
from the recorders would be changed every 2 weeks.

Log books and records of maintenance were also reviewed. The books were kept
at the tower and the control room and used to record maintenance, surveillance,
'
and calibration activities. The logs were up-to-date and coincided with maintenance
and calibration records.
!
c. Conclusions
Based on the above review of procedures, direct observations, and discussions with
personnel, the inspector concluded that calibration and maintenance of the
equipment were performed according to procedures, the meteorological monitoring
instrumentation was operable and sufficiently maintained, and the licensee
continued to effectively implement the meteorological monitoring program in ;
'
- accordance with UFSAR and RG 1.23 commitments.

R6 RP&C Organization and Administration
R6.1 Manaaement Controls
a. insoection Scope (84570) I
The inspector reviewed organization changes and the responsibilities relative to
oversight of the REMP and MMP, and reviewed the annual Radiological
4 Environmental Operating Report and Dose Assessmer:t Report to verify the
.
implementation of ODCM Sections 3.8.E, 3.10.1 and 3.10.2.
.
b. Observations and Findinas
3 The organization and responsibilities at the corporate office, located in
Chesterbrook, PA, essentially have remained the same since the previous inspection
conducted in March 1995. The responsibility to implement the REMP was with the
Program Manager, Programs Branch, Programs / Procedures Section, Nuclear
Engineering Division. Responsibility to perform calibrations of the meteorological
monitoring tower was with the Instrument and Controls Department at the site.
The annual REORs for 1994 and 1995 provided a comprehensive summary of the
observed impacts of plant operation on the environment surrounding the Peach
Bottorn sites. The results met the ODCM reporting requirements. The reports also
provided a summary of the land use census and interlaboratory comparison
program. The analytical data from 1996 were reviewed for sample frequency and
analysis requirements specified in the ODCM. No omissions, mistakes, obvious
anomalous results or trends were noted. Program deviations and/or changes in
.
.
8
sampling locations were reported. The Dose Assessment Report for the period
January 1,1995, through December 31,1995, was reviewed. The report included
a summary of the radiation doses due to radioactive effluent releases from the sites
and annual summaries of hourly meteorological data joint frequency distributions of
wind speed, wind direction and atmospheric stability.
c. Conclusion
Based on the above review, the inspector determined that the licensee implemented
very good management control and oversight of the REMP and MMP and effectively
implemented Sections 3.8.E, 3.10.1 and 3.10.2 of the ODCM.
R7 Quality Assurance in RP&C Activities
R7.1 Quality Assurance Audit Proaram
a. Insoection Scoce (84750)
1
Quality Assurance (QA) audit and surveillance programs were inspected against
criteria contained in the licensee's procedures and TS requirements. Audits of the
REMP and MMP were reviewed and follow up was performed to ensure the 1994 ,
NUPIC audit findings had been closed by the licensee.
b. Observations and Findinas
The inspector reviewed the following Quality Assurance Audit Report as part of the ,
evaluation of the implementation of the TS audit requirement: '
A0956206, Emergency Plan and Procedures Assessment and
10CFR50.54.(t) Review, dated 1/10/96
A0903756, NQA Audit at the GPU Nuclear Corporation Environmental
Radioactivity Laboratory (EML), dated
A0919170, Radiological and Environmental Monitoring, dated 5/26/95
The audits were performed by qualified personnel and were of sufficient technical
depth to assess the implementation of the programs. The audits were performed
within the 'requency in TS.
Licensee follow up of the NUPIC audit showed that all 5 items were closed in 1995.
'
.
.
.
9
c. Conclusion
Based on the above review, the inspector determined that the audits were sufficient
to assess the REMP and MMP and that the licensee implemented the TS audit
requirements.
R7.2 Quality Control Proarem of Analvtical Measurements
a. Insoection Scoce (84750)
The inspector reviewed the quality control (OC) program of analytical measurements
against recommendation of Regulatory Guide 4.15, " Quality Assurance for
Radiological Monitoring Prograrr.s (Normal Operations) - Effluent Streams and the
Environment" to determine whether the licensee had adequate r,ontrol with respect
to sampling, analyzing, and evaluating data for the implementation of the REMP.
Included was a review of the intercomparison program required by ODCM Section
3.8.E.3.
b. Observations and Findinas
The licensee uses the GPU Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory (ERL) as the
primary lab to analyze the environmental samples. The lab maintains an extensive
QC program including participation in the EPA cross check program (1995). Results
of this program were within the EPA acceptance criteria. With the exception of
drinking water, the EPA terminated the cross check program in December 1995.
Therefore, the licensee was tasked with finding another laboratory to provide an
independent intercomparison program. The EPA program was replaced using
Analytics, Inc. and the results were within the GPU laboratory criteria. Periodic
reports of QC results are suppbed to the licensee. The data, with few exceptions,
indicate agreement between the primary contractor laboratory and the QC
laboratory. ~Where discrepsncies were found, reasons for the differences were
investigated and resolved.
c. Conclusion
Based on the above review, the inspector determined that the licensee continued to
implement a good quality control program in accordance with regulatory
requirements and recommendations. The licensee maintained good control with
respect to sampling, analyzing, and evaluating data for the implementation of the
REMP based on the data reviewed.

R1.2 Desian Modifications involvina the North Wall of the Unit 3 Turbine Buildina
a. laspection Scope (84750)
.
The inspection scope, regarding Modification P00248, was to: (1) verify that
l gaseous effluents were processed as specified in the ODCM (Section 3.8.C.5) or
that compensatory measures had been taken: (2) ensure that an adequate safety
evaluation was conducted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59; and (3) determine if
the turbine building atmosphere was processed consistent with the UFSAR
description (Section 10.15).
b. Observations and Findinas
During the previous inspection, an inspector reviewed a PECO-identified event
involving a low level unmonitored release from the Unit 3 turbine building (TB)
which began on July 18 and ended on July 25,1996. (See Section R2 of the
Routine Integrated inspection Report 50-277/96-06 and 50-278/96-06, dated
October 10,1996, for details.)
During this inspection, a review of the licensee's 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation for
Modification P00248 (Mod) involving the construction of the new Plant Entrance
and Radiochemistry Laboratory (PEARL) Building (including the associated ;
penetration of the north wall of the Unit 3 Turbine Building to support the Mod) was
conducted by the inspector. According to the Mod, the licensee planned to breach
the north wall of the Unit 3 Turbine Building on July 18,1996. Five out of seven
holes (3'x 5') were initially cut into the turbine building wall to install ventilation
duct supports for the new Plant Entrance and Radiochemistry Laboratory (PEARL)
building exhaust systems. The exhaust duct traveled along the outside of the
turbine building, across the roof and entered the reactor building vent stack. After
cutting holes in the TB, a worker on the job was identified with short lived activity I
(< 100 cpm) on his hand. The licensee reviewed the work conditions and collected
an air sample from the 195 foot elevation, which identified short-lived activity of
SE-10 Ci/cc Cs-138. The licensee calculated doses to the public using a
conservative assumption that the release through the holes was 10% of the total
reactor building vent flow (2E4 CFM). The offsite doses for the release were
calculated to be 3.2E-5 mrem / year total body and 5.1E-5 mrem / year skin. The
ODCM limit is 500 mrem / year total body and 3000 mrem / year skin. The licensee l
stated that a full report of this event will be documented in the 1997 Annual
Radioactive Effluent Release Report as required by ODCM Section 3.10.2.
The inspector determined that the proper processing and monitoring of turbine
building atmosphere was not adequately performed. The UFSAR (Section 10.15)
states that exhaust ventilation air from the turbine building and radwaste building is
discharged to atmosphere from the ventilation stack above the reactor building roof
(a monitored release point). The licensee, on July 22,1996, stated in the
!
l
l

'
Performance Evaluation Program (PEP) that, "After checking the covered openings
that flat sheeting on the corrugated outs:de wallleft wide gaps through which there
was very noticeable outward air flow. This air flow is a potential release path for
radioactive material." With regard to this statement, the inspector noted that the
licensee was aware of the potential for release of radioactive material after the holes
had been cut. Since the licensee could not ensure a negative pressure had been
maintained, the holes became a pathway for a potential unmonitored release. (See
observations and findings of Section R2 of the previous inspection report, noted
above, for details.)
Based on the licensee's "10 CFR 50.59 Review for Modification P00248," the
inspector determined that no evaluation of the gaseous waste processing,
monitoring, nor dose assessment was addressed. The licensee stated that they
assumed the turbine building was slightly negative and would remain slightly
negative as specified in UFSAR during the Mod and, therefore, no further evaluation
was performed. The evaluation did not consider the creation of a potential
unmonitored release pathway. No monitoring of the turbine building (continuous or
grab sampling) was planned. The actual modification resulted in an outward flow of
air from turbine building contrary to the licensee's assumptions of the maintenance
of negative pressure. With the exception of the sample previously noted, no
monitoring had been performed to evaluate this release pathway in a timely manner.
Failure of the licensee's safety evaluation record to provide the bases for the
determination that the penetration did not involve an unreviewed safety question
constitutos a violation of 10 CFR 50.59(b)(1). (VIO 50-278/97-03-01)
ODCM 3.8.C.S. states, in part, that gaseous effluents shall be processed through
the turbine Gaseous Waste Treatment System. The turbine building atmospheres
shall be processed through permanently or temporarily installed equipment in the
appropriate building ventilation system and the vent stack. The inspector noted
that, in the existing condition, the licensee could not assure that the turbine building
atmosphere was processed through the turbine building gaseous waste treatment
system, using either permanently or temporarily installed equipment. Failure to
assure that the turbine building atmosphere was processed and monitored in
accordance with the applicable plant design and regulatory requirements,
constitutes a violation of ODCM 3.8.C.5. (VIO 50-278/97-03-02)
c. Conclusion
Based on the above findings, the inspector concluded the following. During the
Mod, a small portion of the turbine building atmosphere was unmonitored and
released through the holes cut into the turbine building. The safety evaluation
performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 failed to address changes to the
Turbine Building that could result in unmonitored releases. The licensee identified

these issues after the holes were cut. Overall, the immediate corrective actions to
ameliorate the condition were adequate, however, corrective actions relative to
assuring comprehensive evaluation of all elements of a facility change was not
evident during this inspection. No actual safety consequence was evident as a !
result of in this occurrence.
R8 Miscellaneous RP&C lasues l
R8.1 UFSAR
,
A recent discovery of a licensee operating their facility in a manner contrary to the
Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) description highlighted the need for a .
special focused review that compares plant practices, procedures and/or parameters )
to the UFSAR description. While performing the inspection discussed in this report, l
the inspectors reviewed the applicable portions of the UFSAR that related to the
areas inspected. The inspectors verified that the UFSAR wording was consistent
with the observed plant practices and procedures and/or parameters, except as
noted in Section R1.2 of this report.
