SUBJECT:

Quad Cities Station Operating Report NRC Dockets (50-254 and 50-265)

Enclosed is the Radioactive Effluent Report for July through December, 1988, for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station.

Attached please find Revision Six dated July, 1988, and Revision Seven dated December, 1988, to Quad Cities Station's Process Control Program for Processing of Radioactive Wet Waste.

The Liquid Radwaste Effluent Gross Activity Monitor was inoperable from October 4, 1988, to November 10, 1988.

The monitor was inoperable over 30 days because a discharge had to be done to troubleshoot the problem with the monitor.

Several discharges were performed in October, 1988.

The problem was diagnosed in late October and repaired in early November.

The monitor was returned to service on November 10, 1988, and functionally tested during a discharge on November 17, 1988.

The discharge bay sample for the second quarter 1988 showed 9.16E-07 uCi/ml of Fe-55.

These results were received from SAIC in September, 1988.

The station believes this sample result is bad and therefore will not report it as a release. SAIC detected no other activity in the sample.

The station analysis of the sample showed no activity present above the lower limit of detection for a gamma isotopic, tritium and a gross alpha analysis.

This sample result is very close to the lower limit of detection for the analysis.

In the third quarter, three samples of discharge bay and river inlet sample were sent to SAIC. All three samples showed less than the lower limit of detection for Fe-55. The station has had problems in the past with vendors doing Fe-55 analysis and is currently investigating the problems.
