Dear Mr. Varga:
The Draft Environmental Statement, NUREG-0843 related to steam generator repair at Turkey Point Plant, Units 3 and 4, December
- 1980, has been reviewed by the Bureau of Radiological Health, FDA.
We have the following comments to offer.
1 ~
Our assignment of the proposed repair method for the three steam generators per unit ind1cates the occupational collective whole body dose estimates are based on accepted practices, and provides assurance that such doses w111 be as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)~
The use of dose reduction measures such as local decontamination, temporary lead shielding, pre-gob training and use of remote tools as discussed in paragraph 1, page 4-3, are essential to maintaining the occupational doses ALARA.
Recent reports prepared by the Atomic Industrial Forum support the use of such measures to'reduce occupational doses.
2.
The environmental consequences from gaseous and liquid releases of radioactivity from the plant site during steam generator repair 'have been adequately assessed in terms of population dose.
3.
The statement does not contain any specific information on emergency planning and coordinat1on with the State of Florida., It is believed that Section 4.4, Environmental Im act of Postulated Accidents, should be ex-panded to 1nclude a statement that coordination with the State will be completed in view of the concern of the public and State agencies regarding exposure to low levels of radiation.
4.
The long term storage of the degraded steam generators on site appears to offer the best ultimate disposal method from a rad1ological veiwpo1nt should a suitable radioactive waste disposal site not be available.

Mr. Steven A. Varga Page 2'.
Section 4.1.2, Public Radiation Ex osure, provides estimates of the impacts on the public from the proposed steam generator repair-Estimates of dose are provided for radioactive effluent releases, impacts from solid
~ wastes and from on site storage of the steam generators.
If feasible, we believe a special effort should be made to measure the individual and population dose in the off site environment to verify that the actual doses are within an acceptable range of those estimated by the FPL as shown on page 45-11, Table 4.5, Radioactive Effluents from Steam Generator Re air and Normal 0 erations
~ It is noted in this table that measured values for lthe radioactive effluents have behn-reported for the steam generator repair
- of'urrey Unit 2 reactor.
It would be'helpful if a section were addded to I
I this statement that briefly disc'usses,the ppL environmental monitoring program as it would relate to thih pro)act.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this draft document.
Sincerely yours, hn C. Villforth D rector 8 reau of Radiological Health
