Dear Hr. Keppler:

This ip.to confirm our.verbal report. to NRC RO: III Inspector,

, Hr. K.R. Baker, at 0940 hours on Ha'rch 8, 1977. In that conversation we reported the unplanned release of low level radioactive gas from the plant during the period. of time. from 0000 hours on Harch. 5, 1977, to 1600 hours0.0185 days <br />0.444 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.088e-4 months <br /> on Harch 7, 1977. At the time of the telephpne reporthwe were of the opinion that this was reportable only in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.16, Revision 4, Section 4, Hr. Baker concurred with this opinion. Subsequent discussion with llr: Baker and NRC RO: III

'nspector, Hr. D.E. lliller on Hay 10, 1977; pointed out that this was reportable as an Abnormal Environmental Occurrence in accordance with Appendix B Technsca ion and 2.4.4.e and Table 2.4-2 because the gas was not sampled and analyzed prior to release.

A complete report of this event will be submitted by Harch 17, 1977; as required by Appendix B Technical Specifications Section 5.4.2.1. *.

Sincerely, r
