Unit 1 5000272 88-005-00 2 of 4 PLANT AND SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION:
Westinghouse - Pressurized Water R;eactor Energy Industry Identification System (EIIS) codes are identified in the text as {xxl IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE:
Technical Specification Surveillance 4.7.8.1.2 Performed Late Due To Inadequate Administrative Control Event Date: 03/07/88 Report Date: 03/29/88 This report was initiated by Incident Report No. 88~099.
CONDITIONS PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE:
Mode 1 Reactor Power 100% - Unit Load 1160 MWe DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:
On March 07, 1988 at 1200 hours0.0139 days <br />0.333 hours <br />0.00198 weeks <br />4.566e-4 months <br />, it was identified that Technical Specification Surveillance 4.7.8.1.2.a, sealed source leak checks, was not performed within six months from the prior surveillance. The surveillance was overdue as of March 01, 1988. The missed surveillance was identified as a result of the investigative corrective actions required by recent LERs which deal with other missed sµrveillance concerns (e.g., LER 272/88-004-00).
Technicai Specification 3.7.8.1 ~tates:
"Each sealed source containing radioactive material either in excess of 100 microcuries of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 5 microcuries of alpha emitting material shall be free of >
0.005 microcuries of removable contamination."
Technical Specification Surveillance 4.7.8.1.2 states:
"Test Frequencies - Each category of sealed sources shall be tested at the frequency described below."
Technical Specification Surveillances 4.7.'8.l.2.a & b state:
"a. Sources in use (excluding startup *source~ and fission detectors previously subjected to.core flux) - At least once per six months for all sealed sources containing radioactive materials. * -
- 1. With a half life greater than 30 days (excluding Hydrogen 3), and
- 2. In a*ny form other than gas.

LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER) TEXT CONTINUATION Salem Generating Station DOCKET NUMBER LER NUMBER PAGE Unit 1 5000272 88-005-00 3 of 4 DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE (cont'd)
- b. Stored sources not in use - Each sealed source and fission detector shall be tested prior to use or transfer to another licensee unless tested within the previous six months. Sealed sources and fission detectors transferred without a certificate i.ndicating *the last test date shall be tested prior to being placed int6 use."
APPARENT CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE:
The root cause of this event has been attributed to inadequate administrative controls associated with the new computer based work activity system, Managed Maintenance Information System (MMIS).
When the origianl work activity Inspection Order {IO) system data was transferred to the new MMIS in March 1987, the responsibility to ensure that the data was appropriately formatted resulting in tracking/scheduling of surveillances was not clearly defined.
Subsequently, Technical Specification 4 * .7.8.1.2.a was not formatted as required when the MMIS became effective. Additionally, the Radiation Protection Department was internally reorganized in 1987 resulting in changed assigned departmental superisory responsibilities. Sealed source inventory and control resp6nsibility was one of the re-assignments.
ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCE:
The sealed source leak testing required by Technical Specification Surveillance 4.7.8.2.1.a ensures continued compliance with the limitations as required by Nuclear Regulatory Commission {NRC) Code of Federal Regulations. The limitation ensures leakage from byproduct, source, and special nuclear material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.
Since the Technical Specification Surveillance requirement *to leak test sealed sources every six months was notmet this event is
- reportable in accordance with the requirements of NRC Code of Federal*
Regulations lOCFR 50.73{a) (2) {i) {B). Subsequent leak.testing of the sealed sources did* not identify any leaking sources, therefore, this event did not affect the health or safety of the public.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
- The sealed source leak check surveillance was completed March 14, 1988. No leaking sources were found.
A manual system for tracking surveillances within the Radiation Protection Department has been implemented. This will continue until the MMIS is updated to handle this surveillance.
The Radiation and Chemistry surveillance review committed to by LER 272/88-004-00 *is continuing. This review will resolve and clarify Radiation Protection and c*hemistry schedule requirements as well as
e e LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER) TEXT CONTINUATION Salem Generating Station DOCKET NUMBER LER NUMBER PAGE Unit 1 5000272 88-005-00 4 of 4 CORRECTIVE ACTION: (cont'd) to identify who's responsibility it is to conduct these surveillances.
The PSE&G Nuclear Quality Assurance evaluation of the administrative control of surveillance recurring tasks has been initiated (reference Salem Unit 2 LER 311/88-004-00)
