Atlanta, GA 30323
Subject:
Notification of a licensee identified surveillance non-compliance in accordance with the PULSTAR Facility Technical Specification 6.7.2 (c)
Docket No.: 50-297 License No.: R-120
Dear Sir:
The PULSTAR reactor staff routinely conducts self assessments of reactor facility operations and results of surveillance tests and inspections. A recent review of surveillance records discovered the surveillance frequency specified in the Technical Specification Section 4.4 was not met on three separate occasions in 1994. This information was reported to Region II on 15 August 1996 by telephone.
A self assessment effort performed during the week of 7 August 1996 showed the weekly surveillance of the radiation monitoring system setpoints was not performed on 23 January, 6 March, and 3 April 1994. The interval between setpoint verifications were, at the most, 15 days. This interval exceeds the weekly (a time period not to exceed 10 days) requirement as specified in Technical Specifications Section 4.4. The reason for this non-compliance was management oversight.
The setpoints where verified to be correct on the subsequent surveillance interval for all three reported time periods. In fact, the setpoints on the new radiation monitoring system (instal:ed in 1993) have never drifted to date. As a result, the radiation monitoring system reas operational during the three dates referenced.
The Reactor Health Physicists instituted in July 1994 a tracking system for health physics related surveillances. The tracking system was implemented following an NRC inspection (No. 50-297/94-01). In addition, the health physics related surveillances will be added to the PULSTAR surveillance tracking system.
