2-EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 NRC Inspection Report 50 313/97-17: 50-368/97-17 A routine, announced inspection of the liquid and gaseous radioactive effluent waste management program including organization and management controls, radioactive effluent monitoring, and safety-related air cleaning systems was conducted.
!
Plant Supoort
- A very good liquid and gaseous radioactive effluent waste management program was implemented. Goals for the reduction of radioactive effluent waste releases were established (Section R1.1).
- A very good safety-related air cleaning ventilation systems surveillance program was implemented (Section R1.2).
- The radiochemistry counting room was equipped with state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation. The liquid and gaseous radwaste systems were installed and operated properly (Section R2.1).
- Monthly surveillances of the post accidant sampling system were performed by qualified chemistry technicians (Section R2.21
- Allliquid and gaseous effluent radiation monitoring instrumentation was operable and properly maintained, tested, and calibrated (Section R2.3).
- Chemistry personnel had a very good understanding of the radioactive liquid and gaseous waste effluent management procedures, offsite dose calculation manual, and regulatory requiremmts (Section R4).
- Chemistry personnel participating in the radioactive effluent waste management program were properly trained and qualified (Section RS.1).
- The chemistry department organization and staffing met Technical Specification requirements and had experienced little change (Section R6.1).
- Quality assurance audits and surveillances of the radioactive effluent waste management program activities were technically comprehensive and provided excellent program evaluation and oversight (Section R7.1).
.
l -3-l l
l * Good semi annual radioactive effluent release reports were written and submitted in a timely manner and contained the required information (Section R8.1).
- The licensee effectively identified, tracked, and implemented corrective actions for any identified problems. A noncited violation was identified regarding the failure to perform an evaluation of an unmonitored release pathway (Section R8.2).

5-The inspector noted that the licensee had established a task force for the review of radioactive r ffluent waste releases and associated problems in the effluent area.
] The task force identified numerous action items to improve the radioactive effluent waste systems and management program. Sito management has set goals for reducing the total amounts of liquid volume released, the curies released, and offsite dose The 1997,1998, and 1999 effluent release goals for Units 1 and 2, as compared to 1996 release data, are found in the following table. Data from the Arkansas E Nuclear One semi-annual radioactive effluent release reports is summarized in Attachment 2 to this repor Liquid Volume 2,204,142 1,800,000 1,450,000 1,250,000 Curies Discharged 1.32 1.50 1.20 0.80 Total Body Dose 0.19 One percent of

Critical Organ Dose 0.26 The licensee had not made any major equipment or design modifications to the radioactive liquid waste management systems since the last NRC inspection of this area in January 199 Conclusion A very good liquid and gaseous radioactive effluent waste management program was implemented. Quantities of radionuclides released and offsite doses to the environment, calculated using offsite dose calculation manual methodologies, were within regulatory limits. Goals for the reduction of radioactive effluent waste releases were established. No major equipment or design modifications were made to the radioactive liquid and gaseous waste management system R1.2 Ennineered Safetv Feature Filtration and Control Room Habitability Systems Jaspection Scone (84750)

e 6 Observations and Findinas The inspector and the system engineer performed a visual inspection of all the Arkansas Nuclear One Technical Specification-required ventilation filtration system The systems observed included those for the fuel handling areas, control rooms, reactor building purge, penetration rooms, and the auxiliary building. These systems contained high efficiency particulate air filters and activated charcoa!
adsorbers. No problems were identified during the visual inspection of the ventilation filtration systems. No external damage to the filtration units was identified. All filter housings and ducts were well maintained. The areas surrounding the filtration units were clean, free of debris, and the filtration units were adequately lighted inside and outside to provide for visual inspection of housings and component .
The in-place filtei testing of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 spent fuel pool ventilation filtration system filters was performed in accordance with licensee procedures and Technical Specification requirements. Air cleaning system surveillance procedures incorporated guidance from ANSI 510-1975, " Standard for Testing of Nuclear Air Cleaning Systems."
.
The licensee's surveillance testing program included the required periodic functional checking of the safety-related air cleaning ventilation systems' components, evaluation of the high efficiency particulate air filters and activated charcoal adsorbers, and in-place filter testing of the ventilation system filters. Since some of the surveillance tests were only required to be performed at 18-month frequencies, the inspector verified that the previous two surveillance tests were performed, as required, at the 18 month frequency. The activated charcoal efficiency tests were performed by an offsite contract laborator The inspector noted that the Technical Specification requirement for testing the various air cleaning ventilation systems' activated charcoal adsorber material after every 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of operation following previous laboratory testing was tracked by a surveillance performed by the system engineer on a monthly basis during normal operations and on a weekly basis during outages, Conclusion A very good safety-related air cleaning ventilation systems surveillance program was implemented and conformed to the commitments in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and met Technical Specification requirements. The safety-related air cleaning systems test results were within Technical Specification limit l

The inspector evaluated the effectiveness of the licensee's controls in identifying resolving, and preventing problems in the area of radwaste treatment and effluen monitoring, based on issues, events, or problems identified though the licensee's condition reporting syste Observations and Findinos Through the review of condition reports the inspector identified that the licensee had discovered two unmonitored release pathways from the Arkansas Nuclear O site. One unmonitored release pathway identified was from the condensate demineralizer system. The licensee found that when waste water is transferred
_ from condensate demineralizer resin storage tank T-56 to polisher vessel T-54 following demineralizer regeneration, the waste water is diverted directly to the circulation water discharge fiume creating an unmonitored release pathway. Thi situation was discovered on January 27,1997. The licensee's investigation revealed that this situation has existed since about 1980, when the licensee first experienced primary to secondary leakage causing the secondary side effluent to
-
become contaminated. The licensee took proper corrective actions including:
determining the radioactivity involved and tl.e volume of liquid released, evaluat offsite doses, and revising the appropriate procedure to require a release permit when conducting these operations. The licensee determined that releases of thi type are performed on an average of twice per week with approximately 2500 gallons per release being discharged. The detectable tritium activity has been a 1 E-5 microcuries per milliliter level and the contribution to offsite doses has be the 2 E-10 millirem leve __

The second unmonitored release pathway was discovered on March 19,1997, when an auxiliary operator noted that there were 2-3 drops per minute draining from a main steam line steam trap drain into a floor drain marked as contaminated located in Area 40 of the Unit 1 turbine building. The licensee's investigation determined that drains in Areas 40 and 41 of the Unit 1 turbine building discharged directly to the circulation water discharge fiume which created an unmonitored release pathway from the Arkansas Nuclear One site. Corrective actions taken by the lic 4nsee included: stopping the leak, marking the drains with identification that they discharge as unmonitored releases, revising site drawings as appropriate, investigating other drains in both units, and evaluating reconfiguring the drain However, no evaluation was performed to determine the offsite dose consequences to members of the public due to releases or future potential releases and whether release concentrations were within regulatory limit CFR 20.1302(a) states that the licensee shall make or cause to be made, as appropriaM, surveys [ evaluation (10 CFR 20.1003)) of radiction levels in unrestricted and controlled areas and radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted and controlled areas to demonstrate compliance with the dose limits for individual members of the public in 10 CFR 20.1301. 10 CFR 20.1302(b) states that a licensee shall show compliance with the annual dose limit in 10 CFR 20.1301 by demonstrating by measurement or calculation that the total effective dose equivalent to the individual likely to receive the highest dose from the licensed operation does not exceed the annual dose limit; or demonstrating that the annual average concentrations of radioactive material released in gaseous and liquid effluents at the boundary of the unrestricted area do not exceed the values specified in Table 2 of Appendix B to Part 20; and if an individual were continuously present in an unrestricted area, the dose from external sources would not exceed 0.002 rem in an hour and 0.05 rem in a yea On August 28,1997, the licensee issued Condition Report 97-1-0245 and performed an evaluation to determine the offsite dose consequences to members of the public and activity concentrations. This condition report was transmitted to the inspector on September 3,1997. The licensee concluded that releases though this release pathway vsere minute. Sample activity from condensate pump discharges are approximately 4 E-4 m;crocuries per milliliter. Approximately 8,150,00 gallons would have to be released through this pathway in 6 months to be a significant contributor to offsite doses as defined in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109, " Calculation of Annual Doses to Man From Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix 1." The inspector found that the licensee's response, corrective actions, and evaluation of the above item were appropriat _ -. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

-15-Due to the m5ute dose consequences for releases through this pathway and the corrective actions that have been implemented, the failure to perform an evaluation as required by 10 CFR 20.1302(a) constitutes a violation of minor significance and is being treated as a noncited violation, consistent with Section IV of the NRC Enforcement Policy (50-313:368/9717-01).
