SUBJECT:
Correction to Indian Point's Annual Radiological Environmental Ooerating Report for 1997 Reference 1: New York Power Authority / Consolidated E# son Company of New York, Inc. Letter to the USNRC, IPN-98-049, dated April 29,1998.
Dear Sir:
The purpose of this letter is to forward correctad pages (Attachment 1) for the Indian Point Site Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (REOR) for year 1997 (Reference 1). Indian Point Technical Spmifications require, in part, that we obtain shoreline sediment samples for f
analysis. This includes obtaining one sample from a downstream area with existing or potential recreational value and obtaining the second sample from an upstream area, a control area. The locations are sampled as required to provide two samples annually at least 90-days apart. The
/
Technical Specifications state reporting requirements when sampling is not conducted in accordance with the sample schedule. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the REOR with a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence. During the year 1997, shoteline sediment Ik samples were collected but were within 90 days of each other. This was noted as a deviation in the REOR, however, a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence were act included. An extent of condition review also identified an update to an air sample deviation that did not include the loss of power :, the cause and the return of power as the corrective action. This letter corrects those oversighta The sampling criteria for 1998 shoreline sediment were met.
As part of our corrective action programs, we are addressing the oversights. It was determined that the cause of these oversights was that the written procedures did not include the level of detail required to recognize the required collection frequency. Also, the format used for the table addressing deviations in the REOR is not designed to require the leval of detail specified by Technical Specifications. Corrective actions include revising shoreline sediment sampling procedures to include the 2 90-day collection frequency, reviewing the other procedures for extent i
of condition and changing the REOR format for deviations to ensure the level of detail meets Technical Specifications. These oversights do not change the conclusion in the 1997 i
Radiological Environmental Operating Report that Indian Point operations did not result in any increased radiation levels or exposure to the public graater than environmental background levels.
