APPENDIX _A_

NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Company Docket: 50-458/86-01 River Bend Station License: NPF-40 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 27-31, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The violation involved the failure to establish effluent monitor setpoints as required by your technical specifications. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, "10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation is listed below:

Failure to Use Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (0DCM) Alarm Setpoints River Bend Station Facility Technical Specifications (TS), Section 3.3.7.11 states, in part, that "The radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instru-mentation channels shown in Table 3.3.7.11-1 shall be operable with their alarm / trip setpoints set to ensure that the limits of Specification 3.11.2.1 are not exceeded. The alarm / trip setpoints of these channels shall be determined and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual." The action statement (a) for this TS states, in part, "With a radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instru-mentation channel alarm / trip setpoint less conservative than required by the above Specification, immediately suspend the release of radioactive gaseous effluents ... or declare the channel inoperable."

Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on January 30, 1986, that the high and low level alarms on RMS-RE-126, for monitoring of radio-active gaseous releases via the main plant exhaust ventilation stack, were a factor of two higher than the values derived using the ODCM.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation. (Supplement IV) (458/8601-01)
