      2.  Chemistry / Radiochemistry Organization and Management Controls
          The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's corporate and onsite
          organizations and staffing regarding chemistry / radiochemistry activities
          to determine compliance with commitments in Chapter 13, " Conduct of
          Operations," in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and requirements
          in Section 6.2, " Organization," in the Technical Specifications (TS) and
          WCGS administrative procedures.    The NRC inspectors verified that the
          organizational structures of the corporate radiological services section
,
l
          and the onsite chemistry / radiochemistry section (C/RS) were as defined in
          the FSAR, TS, and WCGS administrative procedures. The NRC inspectors
          reviewed the corporate and WCGS management control procedures and position
          descriptions for the assignment of responsibilities for the management and
          implementation of the WCGS chemistry / radiochemistry program.  The NRC
          inspectors verified that the administrative control responsibilities
          specified by the WCGS procedures were being implemented.
          The NRC inspectors reviewed the staffing of the corporate radiological
          services nuclear chemistry section and the onsite C/RS and noted that the
          corporate nuclear chemistry section was fully staffed and the two staff
        members were the same as reported in previous NRC inspection reports.
t
          Since the previous NRC inspection in April 1985, the onsite C/RS had lost.
          its secondary chemistry supervisor and one chemistry technician. The
          secondary chemistry supervisor position had been filled by one of the
          senior chemistry technicians leaving 14 chemistry technician positions
    -
          filled and two vacancies. The site chemist was actively recruiting to
          fill the staff vacancies.
        No violations or deviations were identified.
      3. Chemistry / Radiochemistry Personnel Qualifications
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the qualifications of tha corporate
        radiological services nuclear chemistry personnel and onsite C/RS
        personnel to determine compliance with commitments in Cnapter 13 " Conduct
        of Operations," in the FSAR and requirements in Section 6.3, " Unit Staff
        Qualifications," in the TS.
!
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the resumes for each of the corporate nuclear
        chemistry technical support personnel and verified that they met the
I        required qualifications specified in the FSAR and position descriptions.
l        Based on the review of the onsite C/RS staff resumes, the NRC inspectors
        determined that the site chemist, radiochemist, and the three laboratory
        supervisors met the ANSI /ANS 3.1-1978 qualifications as committed to in
        the FSAR and TS. Eight of fourteen chemistry technician positions were
        filled with personnel who satisfied the ANSI /ANS 3.1-1978 qualifications.
        The C/RS has eight shift qualified technicians, three technicians who
        should be shift qualified by December 1985, and three newly hired

                                              5
          technicians who were presently in qualification training.    The NRC
          inspectors determined that the C/RS shift rotation was composed of ANSI
        and shift qualified personnel.
        No violations or deviations were identified.
    4.  Chemistry / Radiochemistry Training Program
        The NRC inspectors. reviewed the licensee's chemistry / radiochemistry
        training program to determine compliance with commitments in Chapter 13.2,
        " Training," in the FSAR, and requirements in Section 6.4, " Training," in
        the TS, 10 CFR Part 19.12, and WCGS administrative procedures.
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the training program for C/RS personnel with
        the nuclear training manager and the C/RS training coordinator. The
        nuclear training department had added to its staff an instructor with
        expertise in nuclear power plant chemistry / radiochemistry. The NRC
        inspectors inspected the new training facilities and training chemistry
        laboratory.
      .
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the nuclear training department procedures
        which had been completed and approved and determined that several WCGS
        administrative procedures were still being used to direct nuclear training
        department activities until all training department procedures have been
        completed. The licensee's program for qualification and training of WCGS
        chemistry staff is described in WCGS Procedure ADM-04-004, " Chemistry
        Group Training Program," Rev. 6, August 15, 1985. The NRC inspectors
        reviewed the licensee's program and found it being implemented in
        accordance with the above procedure.
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's task analysis for C/RS
        personnel which was in progress.
        The nuclear training department had developed a health physics / chemistry
        technician course in cooperation with local universities.    The NRC
        inspectors reviewed the course lecture outline and study materials.
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the C/RS individual staff training records and
        qualification cards and found that training was being completed and
        documented as per procedure.
        No violations or deviations were identified.
    5.  Chemistry / Radiochemistry Program
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's chemistry / radiochemistry
        program to determine compliance with commitments in Chapter 5, " Reactor
        Coolant System and Connected Systems;" Chapter 9, " Auxillary Systems;" and
 
- -
    * .
                                                6
          Chapter 11. " Radioactive Waste Management;" and requirements in
          Section 3/4.4.7, " Chemistry," in the TS and C/RS procedures.
          The NRC inspectors' review of the chemistry / radiochemistry program found
            that the licensee had completed and approved all identified administrative
          procedures, surveillance procedures, chemical control procedures,
            instrument calibration and performance check procedures, sampling
          procedures, and analytical procedures. A review of selected procedures,
            logs, and analytical data indicated that the C/RS had established
          sufficient administrative and analytical procedures to meet the
          requirements of the FSAR and TS.
          The NRC inspectors verified that the secondary chemistry laboratory
          instruments and the primary chemistry laboratory instruments had been
          calibrated according to procedures and a quality control program had been
            implemented.
          The NRC inspectors reviewed the status of the chemical and reagent
            inventory program and found the C/RS staff implementing the program in the
          laboratories according to procedure.
          No violations or deviations were identified.
        6. Quality Assurance Program
          The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's QA organization and
          audit / surveillance program regarding chemistry / radiochemistry activities
          to determine compliance with commitments in Chapter 17, " Quality Assur-
          ance," in the FSAR, requirements in Section 6.5.2.8, " Audits," in the TS,
          and QA manual procedures.
          The NRC inspectors. reviewed the QA department organization, selected QA
          audit and surveillance procedures, audit plans for 1985 and 1986, QA
          auditor qualificatibns, and audit and surveillance reports. Audit and
          surveillance reports generated from QA activities during 1984 and 1985 in
          the areas of chemistry and radiochemistry, chemistry personnel
          qualifications, chemistry instrument calibration and quality control, and
          system chemical control were reviewed for scope to ensure thoroughness of
          program evaluation and timely follow-up of identified deficiencies. The
          NRC inspectors found that the audit plans and checklists generated from a
          list of essential elements and attributes dealing with
          chemistry / radiochemistry activities were comprehensive and that the
          responses and corrective actions to QA findings were timely. It was noted
          that the chemistry / radiochemistry audits were being performed by an audit
          team which included a lead auditor qualified to the requirements of
          ANSI /ASME N45.2.23-1978 and a qualified technical specialist knowledgeable
!          in chemistry / radiochemistry activities at a nuclear power facility.
          No violations or deviations were identified,

      7.  Facilities and Equipment
  .
        The NRC inspectors inspected the secondary chemistry laboratory and
          sampling area, primary chemistry laboratory and sampling area,
          radiochemistry counting room, postaccident sampling area, and radwaste
          laboratory and sampling area. The laboratories were equipped with the
          necessary chemicals, reagents, standards, labware, and analytical
          instrumentation to perform the required analytical procedures.  At the
          time of the inspection, it was noted that three of the four high purity
        germanium (HPG) detectors connected to the Nuclear Data gamma spectroscopy
          system and located in the radwaste laboratory and radiochemistry counting
        room were temporarily out-of-service for electronic malfunctions.
        The NRC inspectors noticed during the inspection that every process
          instrument located on the secondary chemistry instrument panel (RM-171)
        was not operational. These process instruments included the sodium
        analyzers, dissolved oxygen analyzers, conductivity meters, pH cells, and
        associated recorders. The NRC inspectors discussed their concerns with
        this instrument problem with the licensee and it was emphasized at the
        exit briefing that this panel and associated instruments be kept in
        current calibration and routine operation to maintain current status of
        secondary chemical parameters and provide documentation of secondary
        chemistry trends. The licensee acknowledged the NRC inspectors' concerns
        with the inoperable instrumentation and stated that the instruments would
        be checked and repaired prior to November 8, 1985, subject to availability
        of needed parts.
        No violations or deviations were identified.
      8. Postaccident Sampling System
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the licensee's PASS to determine compliance
        with the requirements of NUREG-0737, Item II.B.3, and Section 6.8.4.d,
        "Postaccident Sampling," in the TS.
        The NRC inspectors inspected the areas in the plant where the PAS!
        hardware is installed. The NRC. inspectors verified that the equipment and
        associated procedures satisfied the requirements of NUREG-0737,
        Item II.B.3, and TS for representative sampling and analysis of reactor
        coolant and containment atmosphere following a reactor incident. The
        licensee had completed operator training as part of shift qualification
        training for chemistry technicians and had established an instrument
        calibration and maintenance program in compliance with TS requirements.
        The NRC inspectors reviewed the in-line instrument calibration and quality
        control records. The licensee demonstrated PASS operability by collecting
        a sample of reactor coolant and performing required analyses including
 
,                                                                                            --
    -  .
                                                      8
                gamma isotopic, pH, boron, and conductivity.    The licensee also collected
                a sample of containment atmosphere and performed a gamma isotopic
                analysis.    The licensee demonstrated to the NRC inspectors the use of the
                manual local control panel for obtaining an undiluted grab sample for
                analyses. The NRC inspectors noted that the reactor coolant system
                hydrogen analyzer was out-of-service for repair and the dissolved oxygen
                analyzer was due for cell reconditioning. The NRC inspectors verified
                that work orders had been issued to maintain these instruments and place
                them back in service. The NRC inspectors determined that the licensee's
                procedures, analytical sensitivities, and analytical results of chemistry
                parameters were consistent with PASS requirements.      '

                The NRC inspectors inspected the radiochemistry counting room and reviewed
                the licensee's program for calibration and quality control of radiological
      -
                analytical measurements to determine compliance with the requirements in
                Section 6.8, " Procedures and Programs," in the TS.
                The NRC inspectors examined the licensee's radiochemistry counting room
                instrument calibration and quality control procedures, counting instrument
                calibration data and performance check data, and other documentation of
                instrument performance. Data for the period January through
                September 1985 were reviewed.
                No violations or deviations were identified.

                  Attachment 1 contains the criteria used to compare results.
    '
            b.  Results
                  The licensee maintains three HPG detectors in the radiochemistry
                  counting room and two HPG detectors in the radwaste laboratory. All-
                  five detectors are used for routine isotopic analysis of radioactive
                  samples to demonstrate compliance with TS and regulatory
                  requirements. At the time of the inspection the two HPG detectors in
                  the radwaste laboratory and one HPG detector in the radiochemistry
                  counting room were out-of service. The two in-service HPG detectors
                  were cross-checked on selected count!ag geometries. The HPG detector
                  labeled (1) is maintained by the C/RS and the HPG detector labeled
                  (2) is maintained by the health physics section. The analytical
                  results from the two detectors were compared with the NRC results, as
                  well as with each other. The licensee performed the tritium sample
                  analysis on their liquid scintillation counting system.                The
                  individual sample analyses and comparison of analytical results of
                  the confirmatory measurements are tabulated in Attachment 2.
                  The licensee's gamma isotopic results from the listed samples in
                  Attachment 2 showed 94 percent agreement with the NRC analysis
                  results based on 58 agreement results out of 62 nuclides identified
                  and compared.    The licensee's tritium result on the NRC tritium
                  sample was in agreement with the NRC analysis result. The licensee's
                  results cross-checked with 100 percent agreement between the two HPG
                  detectors for all counting geometries compared.
                  Confirmatory measurements were performed by the licensee on a liquid
                  unknown sample prepared by Radiological Environmental Sciences
                  Laboratory using known nuclide concentrations of sosp, soSr, tritium,
                  and gamma emitting nuclides.    The licensee analyzed the sample and
                  reported the results as requested.      The licensee's analytical results
                were compared to the known sample activities and t he results of the
                comparisons are presented in Attachment 2, sample 11. The licensee's
                  results were in 100 percent agreement with the certified activities
                  in the sample.
            No violations or deviations were identified.

          participates in a cross-check program on a qudrterly basis with a
          commercial vendor who supplies unknown activities in the phantom
;          configuration used by the licensee.
          The NRC inspectors supplied the 1icensee with a whole body counting
          phantom to perform confirmatory measurements in their chair style whole
!          body counting system. The counting arrangements were essentially the same
          as those discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/84-40. The results of
          the body positioning test and the comparison of the analytical results of  ,
          the confirmatory measurements against the standard activities are
          tabluated in Attachment 3.
          The results of the body burden activity measurements were approximately
          the same as experienced during the tests performed during the NRC
          inspection conducted in October 1984. In general, the licensee's results
          were approximately 50 percent lower than the certified activities of the
          NRC standards.
          No violations or deviations were identified.
      12. Exit Briefing
          Tne NRC inspectors met with the NRC resident inspectors and licensee
          representatives identified in paragraph 1 of this report at the conclusion
          of the inspection on October 4, 1985. The NRC inspectors summarized the
          scope of the inspection and discussed the inspection findings including
          the results of the confirmatory measurements performed on various
          intercomparison samples and the whole body counting system. The licensee
          committed to repair the secondary chemistry process instrumentation on
          panel RM-171 by November 8, 1985, subject to availability of needed parts
          and have all the instruments calibrated and operational.
