ATTACHMENTTO PLAP130

RESPONSE TO UNRESOLVED ITEM

Unresolved Item (387/93-06-02; 388/93-06-02)

Additional information is requested

concerning

PP&L's evaluation

to increase

the single

secondary containment maximum normal radiation level (MNRL) value in EO-100-104 to 500

mR/lz.

~Res

ense

The issue ofusing a single maximum normal radiation level (%&EL) in secondary containment

has been a matter of discussion with the NRC for several years.

Although there are a variety of

reasons for using a single value, after re-evaluation a decision was made to use multiple MNRL

values.

The disposition of this re-evaluation revises the MNRL Rom a single value to multiple

values that are consistent with the area radiation monitor (ARM) setpoints

located within

'econdary

containment.

These ARM setpoints are high enough to allow for normal evolutions

to be conducted

but will also identify abnormal conditions should they occur.

Revision to

appropriate proce'dures to make the change to multiple setpoints willbe completed by October

1, 1994.

PP&L believes that the use of multiple 5&EL values in secondary

containment

satisfactorily addresses

NRC's concern.
