GENER AL @ ELECTRIC Mr. Tom Becker November 26, 1979 SOME PHYSICAL PARAMETERS ASSOCIATED WITH GE-WILMINGTON MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT FUEL FABRICATION PLA'JT

1) Location of the nearest resident relative to the site boundary?

The nearest resident relative to the GE-M1D site boundary is 300-ft south (1800 feet south of the fuel manufacturing building).

2) Nearest site boundary to gaseous effluent release point (uranium bearing)?

The nearest site boundary is 500-ft south of the fuel manufacturing building.

3) Nearest site boundary to liquid effluent release point (uranium bearing)?

The nearest site boundary to a liquid effluent release point is 1200-ft northeast of the final lagoon release outfall.

4) Cross-sectional area of the fuel fabrication building?

The height of the fuel fabrication building is 40-feet, width 130-feet, length 690-feet - use height times length for cross-section since that side of the building faces towards the nearest site resident which is 1800-feet south of the fuels building.

5) Stack height?

The stack height is variable between 16 and 24-feet (5 to 7.5 meters) above the rnof.

6) Where liquid effluent is sampled.

~~

Liquid effluent is sampled at the final lagoon outfall to the ditch.

l Mr. Tom Becker November 26, 1979 Attachment - Page 2

7) Flow rate at point where liquid effluent gces into the t:ortheast Cape Fear River?

The flow rate where liquid effluent goes into the river is variable (tidal).

8) Flow rate at point where Northeast Cape Fear River goes into Cape Fear River?

The flow rate where the Northeast Cape Fear and the Cape Fear Rivers join is variable (tidal).

9) Total number of stacks frcra which uranium bearing effluent is discharged?

Twenty-nine '29)

10) Diameters of stacks?
