-the FOL vithithel reporting requirements of the-Administrative LControls section ofithe= Standard Technical-Specifications. This'.

change incorporated'the' addition of a-requirement'to include in the'

, Annual Radiological Environmental-Operating Reportf(ARE0R)Lthe- .

.results of analysis of all' radiological environmental samples 3and' ,

of all environmental radiation measurements taken during the'.

+ . l reporting periodI ; Prior.:to1this change,Jthe: ARE0R vas' required to contain this information only in a summarized, tabulated. format;:

While'the summarized,7tabulatedLdata continuedit'o be included;in t the 1985 through11988'AREORs, the requirement to include /the 3 p results of analysis of=all-radiologicalLenvironmental samples:and:

{

of'all environmental radiation measurements was. inadvertently .

omittedi

[

. The-inadvertent omission ofLthese data is primarilyLattributed-to.

the:Iallure;of procedure HS-EC-00001, " Annual Radiological. j Environmental Operating Report. Preparation and> Submittal'_"'.to'.

+

-adequately proceduralize-the.line item, requirements.'of the- g technical-specifications:that applysto.the'ARE0R.  !

In addition,.although several Quality Assurance audits of the- 4

. Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program'(REMP) andtthe AREOR- l vere conducted during-the time period-in question,Jthe' failure.to:

include the results of analysis of=all radiological environmental ,

samples and.of all. environmental radiationtmeasurements was not- -

discovered. '

]

Corrective Action Taken and~ResultsIAchievedI The results of-analysis of all' radiological-environmental samplea l and.of all environmental radiation measurements were included in  !

O the the 1989 AREOR, 'which was submitted,to the NRC:in Toledo Sdison- 1 derial Number 1791, dated April 17, 1990.,
