Stu, Peter's out in RII at the residents' seminar and I'm his backup. Yes, please provide via e-mail and to both myself and Peter. We'll review it in OEDO before providing it to OCA.

Thanks, Beth

Region III r_.

Braidwood On November.30, 2005, the licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspectors of higher than expected tritium levels (-58,000 picoCuries per liter) measured in on-site monitoring wells at the norther edge of the owner controlled area. The licensee attributed the higher levels of tritium to historical vacuum breaker valve leakage in the circulating water blowdown line to the Kankakee River that occurred in 1998 and 2000. The licensee uses the blowdown line to perform liquid effluent releases to the river.

• , easurble levels of tritium As of December 4, 2005 the licensee has detected measurab groundwater. Although nearby residential wells have aevelum abovein normal offsIte bacl~groundw not shown any t roximately 33,700 the licensee detected elevated levels of tritium (as high picoCurieS per liteer) in monitoring wells as a in a vacant development immedia itely The offslte.

licensee continues to monitor and to develop plans for remediation.
