w Sectfein 1.0 DefinILine:
1 The terns " environmental protection condl. tion" and " environmental protection limit" an. defined in Sectionn 1.2 and 1.2.5 are used interchangeably with the torn " limiting condition for operation" throituhuut the text of'the npecilicat tunn.
Une of the ahuve t erann nhould he selected and used consistently throughout. The -tern
" environmental protection condition" would appear to be the most acceptable.
2.
Definition of the term " point of discharge" (Section 1.2.6) in j
lacking in clarity.
gs}
3.
The terms " Inner bay" and " outer bay" (Sections 1.4.7 and 1.4.11 respectively) are inadequately defined.
Section 2.0 Environmental Protection Conditions 1.
The limit specified for the maximum ' condenser cooling unter discharge temperature (Section 2.1.2) appears to be entirely too liberal.
Th-j Final Environmental Statement for Crystal River 3 (pages 12-11: and 12-19) predict that maximum discharge temperatures (assuming tha t_
a'l three units operate at 100%, power level and that 6% of the heat loact is lost to the atmosphere from the wo.:er surface in the discharge' canal) are reached during the periot'. July t.hrough Augur.t and peak near 102 F.
Predicted mean maxime.n discharge water temperatures for Units 1, 2, and 3 at 100% power Acvel are plotted in FI;.ure 12.1 of the referenced Statement.
3.
Bases should be included for Section 2.1.4 to verify the clai a that rate of change of the discharge temperature is not applicabic.
5 (Sl)-
Use of the term "rcsidual chlorine" in Section 2.3.1 should be change.1 4.
to " total residual chlorine."
S.
In Section 2.3.4 it would appear that p11 is applicabic.
v ' 5 2.)
A pH limit or rance of 11mits and monitorina reautrcments should ac aanlied to all releases of ef fluents frem the Industrial waste water holding or settling ponds.
j 6.
l'ases should be included to substantiate all claims created in Sections 2.3.2 throingh 2.3.5.
Section 2.4 Radioactive Dischartws

If Specification 2.4.1.C.2 is intended to regulrc continuous recordina ol' flow ratea, the word, con'inuous, should be added to the f trat rentence.

Throughout this document, the phrase "grous 6, y" is used to (sU dcncribe required analysis. The meaning of this phrase is not-
!cicar.
For c.nunple, it could be interpreted to mean grosa y and gross 6 or to raean either gross y o_r, gross S.
Also, since r
different analysis techniques can produce significantly different results, it is suggested that criteria, such as minimun percent of total radioactivity to he accounted for, be specified.

f g-7))
Table 2.4-1 requires only ene batch per conth of liquid released
'/ /
from the condensate storage tanks for dissolved noble gases.
Since j l noble gas concentration can vary significantly from batch to batch, estimates of this concentration shotild be based on analysis of note than one batch per month.
It is suggested that analys!.s of r woehly proportional composite samp.'e be considered'.

Bases should be presented for Sections 3.3 - Chemical U. tar,e and
(
O) 3.5 - Chemical-Industrial Waster Water Treatment systne to verify q
design capabilities and requirements specified.
Section 5 - Adminintrative Controls The requirement in Section 5.6.2C which specifies that the licensec y
submit a written report one week following an abnomal occurrence or other event involving a significant adverse environmenta' impact should be changed. A period of fif teen days would appear to be irore reuconabl<i, and would permit the licensee ample time to complete all required evaluations.
