SUBJECT:
I&E Inspection Report 86-07
REFERENCE:
NRC Letter, Gagliardo to Walker, dated 05/02/86 (G-86240)
Dear Mr. Gagliardo:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation received as a result of inspections conducted at Fort St. Vrain during the period March 17-20, 1986.
The following response to the items contained in the Notice of Violation is hereby submitted:
During an NRC inspection conducted on March 17-20, 1986, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved the failure to report unplanned radioactive effluent releases in the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.
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:
bK 0
7 G

T ~
. Failure to Report Unplanned Liquid Radioactive Effluent Releases Facility Operating License Technical Specification 7.5.1.e requires, in part, that " Routine Radioactive Effluent Release Reports covering the operation of the unit during the previous 6 months... shall be submitted within 60 days after January 1 and July 1 of each year.
The Radioactive Effluent Release Reports shall include a list and description of unplanned releases from the site to unrestricted areas of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents made during the reporting period."
Contrary to the above, the NRC inspector determined on March 18, 1986, that the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period January-June, 1985, did not include information concerning an unplanned radioactive liquid effluent release that occurred on March 17, 1985.
This is a
violation (Supplement I)
(267/8607-01).
(1) The reason for the violation if admitted:
The Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period January-June, 1985, was prepared without reviewing the Licensee Event Reports (LER) for the period of the report. All unplanned radioactive liquid and gas effluent releases are documented via the LER System.
(2) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results actieved:
A supplement to the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period January-June, 1985, will be issued and will include tne required information on the unplanned radioactive liquid effluent release of March 17, 1985.
(3) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:
The Fort St.
Vrain Passive Commitment Log will be amended to include an ongoing obligation stating that Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports shall be prepared incorporating a review of LERs for the report period.
r
... (4) The date when full compliance will be achieved:
June 30, 1986.
Should you have any further questions, please contact Mr. M. H. Holmes, (303) 480-6960.
Sincerely, WhTYh J. W. Gahm Manager, Nuclear Production Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station JWG/kis i
