50-251-S P (Proposed Amendments to Facility Operating License to Permit Steam Generator Repairs)
AFFIDAVIT OF CHANDU P.
PATEL ON CONTENTION 5 b and c
I, Chandu P. Patel, being duly sworn, state as follows:
1.
I am employed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a Nuclear Engineer in the Division of Systems Integration, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
2.
Contention 5 states, in part:
In evaluating the steam generator repair, the following has not been considered:
b.
the effluent release from a full-flow condensate polishing demineralizing system; or c.
the environmental degradation caused by a full-flow condensate polishing demineralizing system 3.
There is no effluent release from the demineralizer during the repai r program and, consequently, no environmental degradation.
I have, however, estimated the radiological effluent releases from the Turkey Point Plant during normal operation.
In my evaluation I have included operation of the condensate polishing demineralizer system.
I concluded that the effluent release from this system would not significantly change the radiological effluent release of the plant and, therefore, would not increase the environmental degradation from plant operation.

4.
In this regard, based on my review of the pertinent infornation, I
have concluded that the plant's liquid and gaseous radwaste treatnent systmes are capable of naintaining releases of radioactive naterials in effluents to "as low as is reasonably achievable" levels in accordance with 10 CFR 5 50.34a and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and are therefore acceptable.
See March 27, 1981 Safety Evaluation Report regarding confornance to Appendix I.
