Dear Mr. Denton:

This letter provides for your review the planned Marble Hill Units 1 & 2 Preoperational Radio!cgical Environmental Monitcring Program.

PSI is preparing to issue specifications to vendors for the performance of this pre-operational monitoring program. NRC guidance on the scope of this program has been provided in the Marble Hill FES (NUREG-0097, September 1976). However, differing programs are also outlined in more recent documents such as " Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for PWR's", (NUREG-0472, Rev. 2, July 1979) and the revised Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position, November 1979.

In designing this Marble Hill program, PSI has considered the general programs outlined in the above documents along with site specific requirements unique to Marble Hill.

We have met with representatives of the Louisville Water Company and State of Indiana to obtain their comments concerning this program. Also, several aspects of thit program evolved from a meeting with the NRC (Messrs. Kirslis, Congel and Britz) on August 23,1979. At that meeting, the NRC agreed to review this final version of the program to insure that it was satisfactory.

The attached tables outline our proposed program. Your statement of concurrence is requested.

Sincerely, S. W. Shields Vice President-Electric Systems ADP: bag Attachments (OCl ES 1535 227 ,

4 SCHEDULE FOR PROPOSED MARBLE HILL PREOPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM A. Two years prior to commercial operation -

1. Thermoluminescent dosimeters at air particulate locations

2. Fish and invertebrates

3. Peaches, tobacco and cabbage

4. Downstream Ohio River drinking water (Louisville Water Company)

B. One year prior to commercial operation -

1. Airborne particulates

2. Milk (gamma scan)

3. Ohio River surface water

4. Groundwater (well drinking water supplies)

C. Six months prior to commercial operation -

1. Airborne iodine

2. Milk (I-131)

3. Soil 1535 228

late stations.

Footnote:

1. There will be a total of 40 TLD locations. Each 225 sector will contain 2 TLD stations - one at or near the site boundary and one at 3-5 miles distance. Eight of the TLD locations will coincide with the air particulate stations and will have 2 TLD packets, one for quarterly evaluation and one for "as needed" or annual evaluation.
