General
.
^
TMI's environmental monitoring program is described in FSAR,
Section 11.6.
There are four phases to the program, three of
which are preparatory. Phase I, designed by Mr. Deakin, in-
volves preliminary measurements and is nearing completion.
Other phases were designed by a consultant, Dr. Whipple.
Phase
II involves special studies; Reconcentration of Stable Isotopes;
-
Fish Population Studies; Macro Invertebrates and Micro Inverte-
- -
brates Fauna Studies, which are being done by Millersville
State College personnel. Phase 3, the preoperational survey,
is to be fully implemented by July, 1972.

Mr. Deakin stated that a final su= mary report
for Phase I was in preparation and that CO:I wou.1d be supplied
with a copy when it was available.

Quality Control checks
.
The inspector observed during review of rec.ords, that Met Ed
typically performed the gross analyses and that samples for
specific isotopic analyses were sent to Isotopes, Inc.
Mr.
Deakin stated that (1)
this was part of his quality control
program and (2)
this outside laboratory analysis as a part
of the quality control program would continue even af ter Met
Ed had the capability for performing the more sophisticated
measurements with their own instrumentation.
10.
Calibration and Maintenance Precedures
Mr. Deakin described calibration procedures for the environ-
mental air-sampling equipment and stated that written cali-
-
bration and maintenan:e procedures would be prepared prior
to the implementation of Phase III.
In reply to. questioning
"Mr. Deakin said that no significant operating problem had
been experienced with the air-sampling pumps (a Root-Coner-
ville type); and that they had required relatively.little
~
maintenance.
