| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | The following violation of very low safety significance (Green) was identified by LGS and is a violation of NRC requirements which met the criteria of the NRC Enforcement Policy for being dispositioned as a NCV. LGS Unit 1 and 2 TS 6.8.1 require that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained including an ODCM. LGS Procedure CY-LG-170-301, Revision 26, ODCM, requires in Table 3.3-1, that continuous airborne radioactivity samplers be placed in three locations close to the site boundary (in different sectors) of the highest calculated annual average ground level deposition (D/Q). Contrary to the above, there was no sampler close to the site boundary location in the southeast sector with the highest ground level D/Q. That air sampler located in the southeast sector was at a distance of 3 miles beyond the site boundary. This matter was identified by LGS in late 2012 and placed in the CAP. At the time of this inspection, LGS was installing a new air sampling station near the site boundary location in the southeast sector. LGS evaluated the impact of the lack of this station and concluded there was no radiological impact in that: air monitoring stations near the site boundary in adjoining sectors had not detected radioactivity attributable to plant operations; analysis of samples of broadleaf vegetation in the specific sector did not identify any radioactivity attributable to station operations; and routine effluent sampling did not identify any abnormal airborne effluent releases. The issue was determined to be more than minor because it adversely affected the program and process attribute of the Public Radiation Safety cornerstone objective to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety from exposure to radioactive materials released into the public domain. The inspectors determined that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the finding was in the radiological environmental monitoring program and was contrary to TS. Because this finding is of very low safety significance, and the issue was entered into LGS' CAP (IRs 1390579, 1668838), this violation is being treated as a Green NCV consistent with the NRC Enforcement Policy. |
