MEMORANDUM FOR: Leland C. Rouse, Acting Chief Fuel Reprocessing and Recycle Branch FROM:
Fleming M. Empson Fuel Reprocessing and Recycle Branch
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC CCMPANY, JUNE 13, 1979, REGARDING A PROP 3ED LICE"SE AMENDMENT APPLICATION TO PERMIT TESTING OF r' CONTAMINATICU OF 6 X 6 BWR ASSEMBLIES FROM DRESDEN I The persons listed below participated in the meeting at Silver Spring, MD.
General Electric ', nag NRC D. M. Dawson L. C. Rouse C. C. Herrington P. O'Connor, ORS #2 F. M. Empson J. P. Roberts B. S. Spitalny Conronwealth Edison S. C. Hunsader General Electric had requested this meeting to discuss possible recuirements for a license amendment to permit experimer.tal decentamination of 6 x 6 S'aR assemblies frca Dresden I.
Questions with this operation include introduction of 6 x 6 fuel into the pool and use of a prcprietary solvent cr decontamination agent (NS-1) whose ccr:: position is not known. Paul O'Connor of Cperatin; Reactors Branch #2 was asked to attend because of his familiarity with the process as NRC Task Manager for the Cresden I decentamination work.
S. C. Hunsader outlined the Commenwealth Edison program to decoi aminate
~
the Cresden I system to permit " hands on" inspections of the reactor systens which have become inaccessible because of internal surface contamination.
They have successfully tested decontamination of the reactor system using the decantaminating agent NS-1 withcut fuel present. They are concerned that replacement of contaminated fuel in the decontaminated reacter would result in transfer of contamination from the fuel to the reactor system.
They have dcne tests on the compatibility of the decontamination agent with fuel assembly materials, and do not feel that any problems are indicated.

Leland C. Rouse JUN 211973 0'Connor outlined the status of Dresden I decontamination from the regulatory standpoint. There ha' been a request for prevention of the cleaning action filed under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 2.2C6. The basis for this action is concern for possible release of the decontamination agent into the ground through disposal to the ground of solidified bottcms from evaporated decontamination solutions with possible increased migration of nuclides in the ground vater. A response has not been made to this request or petition.
Discussion revealed that Commonwealth Edison would like to see this work begun about May 1980.
In response to a question from General Electric, Le Rouse indicated that such an amendment would not have a significant impact on the renewal application now being reviewed. However, General Electric indicated that an application for this experimental work would be delayed somewhat because they feel additional work is required concerning disposition of the solvent recidues.
In addition, the status of the expansion and renewal reviews were discussed.
They were info med that the EIA and SER for the renewal application would be issued before the expected hearing.
Dawson said that they are planning to submit an amendment to the CSAR to extend offsite doses over a longer period.
This will be done using data developed by Resource Planning Associates uader DOE contract for an EIS on spent fuel storage.
