APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Omaha Public Power District Docket:
50-285/86-05 Fort Calhoun Station License:
DPR-40 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 4-6, 1986, two violations of NRC requirements were identified.
The violations involved: (1) failure to report strontium 89 and 90 results, and (2) failure to review and approve procedures for the radiological environmental monitoring program.
In accordance with the
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violations are listed below:
A.
Failure to Report Strontium 89 and 90 Results Facility Operating License Technical Specification (TS) 3.12, " Radiological Waste Sampling and Monitoring," requires, in part, that radioactive liquid and gas effluents be sampled and analyzed in accordance with Tables 3.11 and 3.12.
These tables require quarterly composited samples of both liquid and gaseous effluents be analyzed for strontium 89 and 90.
Furthermore, TS 5.9.4.a, " Radioactive Effluent Release Report," requires, in part, "A report covering the operation of the Fort Calhoun Station during the previous 6 months shall be submitted within 60 days after January 1 and July 1 of each year.
The radioactive effluent release report shall include a summary of the quantities of radioactive liquid and gaseous effluents
... released from the plant...."
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on March 6, 1986, that the licensee had not included strontium 89 and 90 analysis results in the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports for 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (285/8605-01).
B.
Failure to Provide a Proper Review and Approval of Technical Specification Surveillance Documents TS 5.8.1 requires, in part, that " Written procedures... shall be established,... and maintained that meet or exceed... Appendix A of USNRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33...."
In addition, Section 8.b of Appendix A to RG 1.33 states, in part, that " Specific procedures for surveillance tests,... should be written (implementing procedures are required for each surveillance test, inspection,... listed in the tech-nical specifications):" Furthermore, TS 5.8.2 requires, in part, that "Each procedure... of 5.8.1 above, and changes thereto, shall be reviewed by the Plant Review Committee and approved by the Manager - Fort Calhoun Station prior to implementation and periodically as set forth in each document."
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on March 11, 1986, that the OPPD General Office, Technical Services Section, procedure " Environmental

Radiological Monitoring Procedure Manual, Revision 2," which provides instructions for performance of environmental sampling to satisfy the TS Surveillance Requirement 3.11, " Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program " was not provided the proper review or approval required by TS 5.8.2 prior to being implemented on or about December 1,1985.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (285/8605-02)
