| Title | Missed Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Sampling |
| Description | The 2015 Braidwood Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report for 2015 identified missed food samples in three out of four quadrants where food products were required by the licensees ODCM. The inspectors also noted that this issue was identified in the licensees CAP as Action Request 0214924, dated January 20, 2016, but it did not appear that any action was taken in 2015 to identify suitable alternative sampling locations. Discussion: The assessment of the issue could not be completed within this inspection period. In particular, the licensees ODCM is a site-specific document that included the radioactive effluent controls and the associated radiological environmental monitoring activities used to validate those controls. At the end of this inspection, the inspectors had not had the opportunity to review the bases documents for the ODCM to better understand the site-specific dose pathways for airborne and liquid effluent receptors and to assess the impact of these missed samples. Specifically, it was not clear whether the intended food product samples were designed to validate the airborne effluent control program or the liquid effluent control pathway. Each pathway has a different or unique requirement for validating the effluent controls. For example, validation of the airborne effluent control program would frequently measure, throughout the growing season, the radioactive material deposited on the sample surface and validation of the liquid effluent control pathway would measure, at the time of harvest, the radioactive material incorporated into the food product through irrigation. The issue remains under review by the NRC to determine the adequacy of ODCM performance and whether any violation of regulatory requirements occurred. This issue is categorized as an Unresolved Item (URI) pending completion of this review. (URI 05000456/201600203; 05000457/201600203; Missed Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Sampling) |
