| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Sub-paragraph 50.36a (a)(2) of 10 CFR Part 50, requires the licensee to submit a report to the Commission annually that specifies the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in liquid and in gaseous effluent during the previous 12 months, including any other information as may be required by the Commission to estimate maximum potential annual radiation doses to the public resulting from effluent releases. The NRC Safety Guide 23 Onsite Meteorological Programs states that knowledge of meteorological conditions in the vicinity of the reactor is important in providing a basis for estimating maximum potential annual radiation doses resulting from radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents. The Safety Guide also described a suitable onsite meteorological program to provide meteorological data needed to estimate potential radiation doses to the public as a result of the routine or accidental release of radioactive material to the atmosphere and to assess other environmental effect. The Safety Guide states that meteorological instruments should be inspected and serviced at a frequency which will assure at least a 90 percent data recovery and which will minimize extended periods of instrument outage. Contrary to sub-paragraph 50.36a (a)(2) of 10 CFR Part 50, the licensee failed to submit information required by the Commission to estimate maximum potential annual radiation doses to the public resulting from effluent releases. Specifically, the licensee was not able to maintain Meteorological Tower instrumentation so that data recovery remained above 90 percent for the calendar year 2012, information that the Commission required to estimate maximum potential doses to the public. After identifying the error, the licensee took corrective action to prevent further loss of meteorological data due to equipment failure by troubleshooting and repairing Meteorological Tower instrumentation and instituting additional data recovery efforts in 2013. The licenses corrective actions were entered into the CAP as Condition Reports AR 2013-12764 and AR 2013-15116. Because the licensee identified the failure to properly recover data, the inspectors determined that the violation met the requirements of a licensee identified NCV. |
