SUBJECT:
THREE MILE ISLAND (EI) Enclosed is the report of a trip-to TMI by NMSS representatives to review planning for processing of THI-2 facility wastes. Specific emphasis was placed on waste dispcsal cnd transportation. The nain issue ccming out of this trip is whether the waste ~ resulting from decontaminating the contamindted water should be shipped for disposal in the form of dewatered spent demineralizer resins and filter medium as is presently planned by Metropolitan Edison, or in the form of a solid matrix (formed by mixing the spent resins and filter medium with a suitable binding agent, such as concrete). The latter approach would be consistent with the Effluent Treatmeat Systens Branch, Technical Position, ETS811-3 dated =- No veni;er 24, 1975. As you are aware ?SSS fully supports the latter approach from both transportation and disposal considerations, In view of the decision during the Chairman's staff meeting on June 12, 1979 tha+. the latter approach of converting the waste to a solid matrix should be pursued, please have the person who will take the lead for NRR contact R. Dale Smith, Chief, Low-Level Waste Licensing Branch, for any support required f rom fiMSS. [, .m, s a o 3. '# William J. Dircks, Director bll 22 Office of Nuclear Materici Safety and Safeguards
