Dear Mr. Joyner:
This letter pro which resents vides comment on the subject NRC inspection report p
NRC's recent assessment of our radiological controls program.
RGEE appreciates the constructive comments provided in the report and is addressing each recommendation for improvement in our program.
Although a written response was not required, we would like to provide a clarification to the source term reduction discussion contained in Section 8.3 of the inspection report.,
While further opportunities certainly exist and are being pursued in the area of source term reduction, Ginna Station has initiated and completed a number of activities over the past decade:
~
Steam Generator bowl decontamination using the Can-Decon process (1982) a Adoption and use of EPRI recommended primary chemistry guidelines for coolant pH control (1983)
~
Decontamination of Reactor Coolant Pump impeller using Can-Decon process (performed 1984)
Use of optimized fuel design, including zircaloy replacement of stainless steel guide tubes and inconel grid straps (since 1984)
Flushing and removal of hot spots from Auxiliary Building Sub-Basement Sump Tank (performed 1989) 93070iOi44 930bi7 PDR ADQCK 05000244
