O' ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORIllG As a result of changes in Technica1' Specifications, sampling milk for 131I was dis-continued on September 21, 1973.
Thirty-nine (39) samples were obtained during the fourth quarter from the perimeter monitoring stations and were analyzed for aloha and beta activity. The alpha activity ranged from 1.38 (10 16) to 7.68 (10~16 pCi/ml for an average of 2.35 (10 16) pCi/ml.
The beta activity ranged from 4.40(10-}5)to2.87(1014) pCi/ml with an average of 1.44 (10 14) pCi/ml.
LOW LEVEL LIQUID EFFLUENTS The amounts of radioactivity in liquid discharged from the olint during this period and their relationship to the maximum permissible concentratiac (MPC) in the Cattaraugus Creek are shown in Table 1.
GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 1 The amount of particulate radioactivity discharoed via the olant stack and the relationship to the release limit in the Technical Specifications is shown in Table
- 2. Change 20 to the Technical Specifications discontinued the requirements of Krypton-85 and Iodine-131 monitoring while plant operations are suspended.
SURVEILLANCE TESTS During this period, tests were performed in accordance with Section 6 of the Technical Specifications. The completion dates are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
. LOW LEVEL LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT PLANT PERFORMANCE During this period, the LU4T was in operation a total of 25 days and treated 2,340,000 gallons of water. Ninety-nine (99) drums of concentrated sludge were removed, each having a radiation level of <10 mr/hr. Decontamination of waste water continues to be good. All water discharged has been below 2.0 x 10 5 uCi Csl37/ml. Average removal factors for this period are shown below.

O RADIOACTIVE WASTE A. Solid Waste The radioactive plant waste buried during this cuarter consisted of 741.32 cu ft containing 0.556 curies. This material was buried in the NRC-licensed burial area.
B. High level Licuid Waste As of December 31, 1979, the high level storage tank 8D-2 con- _ .
tained 553,100 gallons of neutralized waste with an activity of 4,006 uCi Cs-137/ml and 72 uCi -Cs-134/ml . .

FACILITY PERFORMANCE AND MODIFICATIONS l
l This section describes:
- 1. Major modifications that were either initiated or completed at the processing plant during the reporting period.
1.1 An extension of line 8P14-3"C was installed to provide a route l for transferring the contents of waste tank 80-2 to the spare '
waste tank 8D-1.
1.2 A new line 8P-120-3"C3 was installed to provide a route for the i i
transfer of the solution in 8D-1 to the interceptor or Lagoon 1.
~
1.3 A transfer eductor was installed in the Con. Ed. spare waste tank 80-3 with connecting lines to the Con. Ed. tank 8D-4.
- 2. A description of malfunctions of any equipment listed in Appendices 5.2, 9.51, 9.53 and 9.56 of the Final Safety Analysis Report which are important to safety.
2.1 December 15, 1979: The drive coupling on the electrically ;
driven main exhaust fan 15K-10 broke during normal operation. l The turbine driven stan'dby fan came on line automatically and was operated until repairs to the electrically driven unit were completed. ;

SUMMARY
The following information is based upon nuclear material accountabil.ity ,
records and indicates the disposition of nuclear material in fuel at the reprocessing plant.
i
. A. INVENTORY The total on-site inventory on December 31, 1979 was 166,759 kilograms of uranium and 1,041,760 grams of plutonium. An inventory description by source and material type is presented in Table 5. (
B. RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS During the quarter, there were no shipments or receipts of. spent t
. fuel assemblies at the West Valley s'ite.
C. MEASURED WASTE AND ADJUSTMENTS There was no loss of uranium or plutonium-during the reporting period as measured waste. l No adjustments for uranium and plutonium to NFS' Lct 27A were required.
