RESPONSE TO OIE INSPECTION REPORT 77-13 i

Item Appendix A Technical Specification 4.11.1 requires that analyses of environmental radiological monitoring program samples shall be performed to the sensitivity listed in Table 4.11-3.

Contrary to the above, the 1976 annual environmental monitoring report indicated there were four instances in which the required sensitivities were not met.

Response

In the apparent iten of non-compliance it was stated that analytical sensitivities had not met the required limits specified in Table 4.11-3 in four instances.

It should be noted, however, that the sensitivity limits specified in Table 4.11-3 represent the minimum criteria for objectives for instrumentation and analytical procedure selection.

These sensitivities are achievable only under optimal conditions.

Indeed, Table 4.11-3 states "The sensitivity of the analyses for various radionuclides in representative samples is typical",

That is, the specified sensitivities are typical rather than absolute and will be achievable in the majority of analyses but will not and cannot be achieved for each and every sample.

In the four cases mentioned, the reported sensitivities were generally only marginally in excess of the Table 4.11-3 sensitivities.

It is considered that the radiological monitoring program has been conducted in a responsible manner and that Technical Specification 4.11.1 has been fully complied with.

It is requested that the record be so corrected to indicate that this is not an item of non-compliance.
