Effluent and Environmental (Radiolooical) Information Liquid effluents from the TMI site released to the Susquehanna River after processing, were made within the regulatory limits and in accordance with NRC requirerents and City of Lancaster Agreement.
During the peried October 22, 1982, through October 28, 1982, the efflutnts contained no cetectable radicactivity at the discharge coint ar,d ir,dividual effluent sources, which originated within Ur.it 2, contained no detectable radicactivity.
- L1 certainties exist as to the exact location and accuracy of these readings.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Data The EPA measures Kr-85 concentrations at several environmental monitoring stations and reported the following results:
_ Location September 24, 1982 - October 8, 1982 3
(pCi/m )
Goldsboro 24 Middletown 25 Yorkhaven 24 TMI Observation Center 24 The EPA Middletown Office has not received the environmental Kr-85 results for the samples which were taken subsequent to October 8, 1982 from the EPA's Counting Laboratory at Las Vegas, Nevada. These results will be included in a subsequent report.
No radiation above normally occurring background levels was detected in any of the samples collecttd from the EPA's air and gamma rate networks during the period from October 21, 1982 through October 28, 1982.
3.
NRC Environmental Data The NRC air sampler was modified and was out of service from October 20 to October 27, 1982.
It was put back in service on October 27, 1982.
The results from the air sampler will be reported in the next weekly status report.

On October 26, 1982, 68 LSA drums, boxes, and a liner from Unit 1 were shipped to Barnwell Waste Management Facility, Barnwell, South Carolina.
On October 27, 1982, one container of five Unit 1 liquid samples (500 milliliter samples) was shipped to Nuclear Water and Waste Technology, San Jose, California.
On October 28, 1982, one Unit 2 EPICOR II Prefilter (PF-9) was shipped to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Scoville, Idaho.
On October 29, 1982, 87 drums containing contaminated laundry from Units 1 and 2 were sL pped to Interstate Uniform Services, New Kensington, Pennsylvania.
Major Activities 1.
Submerged Demineralizer System (SDS).
SDS is presently in a standby status.
No water is ready to be processed.
2.
EPICOR II.
The EPICOR 11 system is presently in standby status.
No water is ready to be processed.
3.
Reactor Building Entries.
Four reactor building entries were conducted during this week, and the hands-on decontamination of the polar crane was completed.
(This was the primary activity in the reactor building.)
Three reactor building entries have been scheduled for the #irst week in November.
Installation of electrical power to_the polar crane is scheduled to start on the first entry.
Later in the week, the control circuitry to various drive components of the polar crane will be tested.
Electrical testing of the polar crane motors is scheduled for the latter.
part of November.
Decontamination of the 347 ft. elevation surfaces and remote decontamination of the D-ring interiors is also scheduled to begin.
4.
EPICOR II Prefilter Shipment Status.
One EPICOR 11 prefilter shipment was mace f rcm ~M1 to :ne Icano Naticnal Encineering Laboratory (INEL) this week: PF-9 (10/25/52).
Two prefilters are scheduled to be shipped to INEL next week:
FF 45 and PF 46.
5.
TMI Aerial Radiological Survey.
The aerial radiological survey of the Tnree Mile Islana area began on Tuesday, October 26, 1982.
The island overflight's are expected to continue for approximately two weeks.

Past Meetings 1.
On Friday October 29, 1982, Lake H. Barrett met with the Concerned Mothers of Middletown to discuss various TMI issues including the November 9,1982 Commission meeting. They expressed their concern that Unit 1 should not be restarted prior to completion of the Unit 2 cleanup.
2.
On Friday, uctober 29, 1982, Lake H. Barrett met with representatives from the Friends and Family of TMI to discuss various TMI issues including the November 9,1982 Commission meeting.
Future Meetings 1.
On November 9, 1982, the NRC Commissioners will hold two public meetings to discuss the potential restart of TMI Unit 1.
The first meeting will hear oral presentations from the parties involved in the formal TMI Unit i res1 art proceedings.
This meeting will be opened for public attendance (not public participation) and will be held from 3:00 to 5:00 Pfi at the William Penn Museum Auditorium, Third and North Streets, Harrisberg, Pennsylvania.
The second meeting is scheduled in the evening to hear the views of concerned citizens who are not parties to the formal restart proceedings.
The speakers for the evening meeting will be selected by Mr.
John E. Minnich, Chairman of the Dauphin Couiity Board of Commissioners and also Chairman of the NRC Advisory Panel for Decontamination of TMI Unit 2.
He will select the speakers from a list of people who requested to speak at the meeting by calling the NRC's TMI office during October 21 through October 27, 1982.
2.
On November 12, 1982, Lake H. Barrett will meet with the Concerned Mothers of Middletown to discuss TMI related issues.
3.
On November 17, 1982, the Advisory Panel for the decontamination of TMI Unit 2 will hold a meeting --open for public observation-- to discuss the current status of cleanup efforts and the disposition of processed water.
The meeting wi" tale place at the Holiday Inn, 23 Scuth Second Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from 7:00 to 10:00 FM.
