November 1 Bl

Dear Conrad:

En E!CHICO's evalua ion of proposed chemical procedures

=or postacciden analysis of r ac.or coolant samoles, referenced

above, the presence or absence of raoio-logically induc d inta.

erencas (effects) we. e noted or cnemic I proca 'urea

,vi;.

avai1able testt data.

"-or chemical procedures without availaole tas: da".a.

i was not d wnether radiologically induced interferencas were ant cipatad or not.

'n the report a general s atament was included which indicated that the "asis for catarmining whether radioloaical effects were anticipated or not was pas-. expe-riences of oersonnel involved in the evaluation.

I ponse to your r cent request for a brief amplification of.he basis us d to n rasp, determine whether or not radiological effects on the indsvidual oroceduras anti ipat d or not, I have included in the enclosed table a lis-of -..c proc

'ur s and the rmpective basis used.

Again it should be empnasized that the evaiua--'cn for these procedures ara professional judgements; they have not be n confirmed with laboratory tasting.

As racortt:ended in the report the proc dures should oe

'laboratory tas ad z confirm the existanca or nonexistanca of radiologica y 'n-ducad effecw.

tt If you r qui re addi ional in ormat-'on please c
