Jeremie, I am ok with making items 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8 LTCA's as they are tied to PRG funded projects.

I am ok with making item 3 a LTCA as it is tied to action outside of BNP (NRR), and we have no control over the timing of their work.

Please have your unit evaluator process the above changes.

ATTACHMENT 3 Sheet 1 of 2 ADVERSE CONDITION INVESTIGATION FORM Form CAP-NGGC-0200-3-18 Action Request Number: 236389 Investigator: Mike Millinor

1. Adverse Condition Description Tritium has been identified in manhole 2-MH-2SE. The tritium activity was 1.949E-5 pCi/ml (19,490 pCi/L). The approximate location of the manhole is in the vicinity of the stack and the intake structure.
2. Investigation Summary

" What Should Be: This is the first time this manhole was analyzed for tritium. Even though there have been several manholes identified with tritium at the plant, it is not the norm for tritium to be found in manholes.

" What Is: Discussions with the engineer who performed the inspection in the manhole indicate that the tritiated water found in the manhole was groundwater.

Tritium is not normally expected to be found in manholes even though there have been several manholes identified with tritium. However, the site hydrology as it is currently understood indicates that groundwater inside the backfill area at the site moves toward the intake canal.

" How it happened: It appears to be historical and it is unknown at this time as to how the tritium entered the groundwater in this area.

  • Why it happened: It appears to be historical and it is unknown at this time why tritium entered the groundwater. The immediate area hydrology will have to be verified to determine if this is a current component leak or historical movement of existing groundwater containing tritium is moving towards the area.

Discussions held by the hydrology experts on 11/17/08 indicate, based on the hydrology work performed in the protected area, that there are no long term impacts to the area from the tritium in this manhole. The groundwater in the area is moving towards the intake canal as expected and no additional actions are necessary.

The tritium in this manhole was discussed with the hydrology experts. Several wells have been installed in this area (area 11) and are not indicating tritium. The tritium in this manhole appears to be coming from an up gradient manhole where there are significant concentrations of tritium. The tritium in this case is being transported by interconnected conduits to this manhole. Per the hydrologists there are no other actions necessary related to the tritium in this manhole.
