The inspectors identified two examples of … The inspectors identified two examples of a Green Non-Cited Violation (NCV) of TS 6.8.1, Procedures, for the licensees failure to implement an adequate Quality Assurance (QA) program for effluent monitoring. Specifically, the secondary calibration (transfer) sources used for effluent monitors 21WL-3541 (Waste Monitor Tanks Discharge) and RM21AV-3509-1SA (Plant Vent Stack Monitor) were not verified to be acceptable prior to use. The licensee has entered these issues into their CAP (AR 537505) and is currently evaluating corrective actions and extent of condition. The licensees failure to use appropriate secondary calibration sources to adequately calibrate REM-21WL-3541 and RM-21AV-3509-1SA was a performance deficiency. The finding was more than minor because it is associated with the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone attribute of plant equipment/process radiation monitoring and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain as a result of routine civilian nuclear reactor operation. The finding was assessed using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, Appendix D, Public Radiation Safety Significance Determination Process (SDP). The failure to use adequate secondary calibration sources does not represent a substantial failure to implement the radioactive effluents program since each batch release from a Waste Monitor Tank is sampled and analyzed prior to discharge and releases through the Plant Vent Stack are sampled and analyzed weekly. In addition, 10 CFR 20 and 10 CFR 50 dose limits to a member of the public were not exceeded. Therefore this finding was determined to be Green. No cross-cutting aspect was assigned for this finding because the performance deficiency does not represent current licensee performancenot represent current licensee performance +
