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 procedure 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 malfunction 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 part No violations or deviations were identifie . 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 T 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 requirement 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

The confirmatory measurements counting arrangements are essentially

, the same as those discussed in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/84-4 Attachment 1 contains the criteria used to compare result ' 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 syste The individual sample analyses and comparison of analytical results of the confirmatory measurements are tabulated in Attachment 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 compare 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 compare 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 nuclide The licensee analyzed the sample and reported the results as requeste 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 sampl No violations or deviations were identified.
