02.07 Problem Identification and Resolution. (1 sample) Verify that problems associated with the effluent monitoring and control program are being identified by the licensee at an appropriate threshold and are properly addressed for resolution in the licensee corrective action program. See Inspection Procedure 71152, "Problem Identification and Resolution," for additional guidance. If feasible, In addition to the above, verify appropriateness of the corrective actions for selected sample of problems documented by the licensee involving radiation monitoring and exposure controls. 71124.0603 INSPECTION GUIDANCE 03.01 Inspection Planning. Event Reports and Effluent Report Reviews. Ensure that docketed reports since the previous inspection are included in the current inspection (e.g., annual radioactive effluent release reports, special 30 day reports, supplemental monitoring reports, offsite dose calculation manual revisions). Consider scheduling this inspection soon after the annual radiological environmental report has been submitted such that recent data can be compared between the effluent report and the environmental reports. ODCM and FSAR Reviews. No inspection guidance. Changes to the ODCM are provided in the latest Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report. IE Bulletin 8010 provides guidance on contaminated systems not originally designed to be contaminated. Procedures, Special Reports, and Documents. No inspection guidance. Post-Accident High Range Effluent Monitors. Post-accident monitoring instrumentation includes high range effluent monitors (System Particulate Iodine and Noble Gas (SPING)) and any other effluent or process monitors that are relied on by the licensee in its Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), or to issue protective action recommendations (PARs) during an accident Note: Do not repeat any NRC inspection activity for any radiation monitor instrumentation that is included the Maintenance Rule program.
Note: Since these monitors may be used for PARs, ensure that the regional EP staff is aware of any monitoring issues that could impact the monitors’ function. Dose Calculations. Review the licensee’s dose calculation methods. If any concerns arise, use the NRC PCDOSE computer code (agreement should be within a factor of 2) to verify dose values, perform manual calculation, or review the licensee’s dose calculation methods. Problem Identification and Resolution. No inspection guidance. 71124.0604 RESOURCE ESTIMATE For planning purposes it is estimated to take 35 hours, on average (with a range of 31 to 39 hours) to perform the requirements of this attachment. 71124.06-05 COMPLETION STATUS Inspection of the minimum sample size will constitute completion of this procedure in the RPS. The minimum sample size for this attachment is six, defined as the sum of all the inspection requirements. If any of the sample inspection requirements cannot be completed, the procedure should be closed in accordance with IMC 0306, “Planning, Tracking and Reporting of the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP).” For example, if certain steps could not be completed due to sample unavailability, the procedure attachment should be declared “Complete – full sample not available” with a comment addressing the specific steps or activities that could not be completed. 71124.06-06 REFERENCES 10 CFR Part 20, “Standards for Protection Against Radiation,” 10 CFR 50.34a, “Design Objectives for Equipment to Control Releases of Radioactive Material in Effluents—Nuclear Power Reactors,” 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, “General Design Criterion for Nuclear Power Plants,” Criterion 60, “Control of releases of radioactive materials to the environment,” 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, “General Design Criterion for Nuclear Plants,” Criterion 64, “Monitoring radioactivity releases,” ANSI N13.1-1969, “Guide to Sampling Airborne Radioactive Materials in Nuclear Facilities,”

The revision changed how inspection samples are counted, moved the sections on ground water inspections from 71124.06 to 71124.07. It incorporates effluent monitoring instrumentation from 71124.05 into 71124.06. N/A IP revised only to include new sample sizes. There is no valid comment resolution at this time.
