Subject:
Reactor Building Entry g-3 This is in response to a letter from R. F. Wilson (TLL 123), subject as
,l s
l above, dated March 21, 1980, in which Met-Ed requested permission to enter the Reactor Building prior to purging. For the past several weeks, i
my staff has been reviewing infor:aation previously received frc'.: you and
- x l
met.with your representatives to discuss the proposed menned entry.
i Based on the result: cf our revier, permiss %n to enter the Unit 2 Reacter Building is denied. Before permissies is granted, we regnest that Met-Ed pJ -
provide documentation to show that the containment atmosphere will sustain e
1 l
life in the event of a malfunction of the respiratory equipment. Present data suggests that there is an oxygen deficiency in the containment
'~~,..,
C'.,
i atmosphere. In addition, no data exists to preclude the existance of
?'-t toxic contaminants in the building atmosphere (CO, 9, and.etc.).

I have attached to this letter additional recommendations-mede by the d
,l T;4@17 staff to improve the entry program. In addition, the staff is preparing a commission paper discussing the entry program in light of the fact that J
approximately 24 curies of Kr-85 will be released to the environment as a i
result of this entry. We expect to present this information to the Cosmissioners the later part of this week.

5 NRC/TMI Tecinical Support Staff Recommendations For Entry Into Unit 2 Reactor Building 1. Sampling and analysis of the containment atmosphere by a qualified industrial hygienist for oxygen, carbnn monoxide and other contaminants should be performed, evaluated and any potential for threat to life and safety of the entry team members must be eliminated. 2. The fit of the Bio Pac 60 face piece should be verified while used with the actual protective clothing employed during the entry. In addition, the cautions contained in a memorandum from Goller to Distribution,
Subject:
Recommendations on the use of Recirculating - Mode (Closed Circuit) Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (Rebreathers) dated March 3, 1980, should be met. 3. Entry team members must receive additional practice in radiological survey methods under actual radiological conditions. 4. A breathing zone air sampler should be provided for all entry team j members to both verify the respiratory protection and to gain added useful information on radiological environmental conditions during work activities in the Reactor Building. 5. Provisions should be added to reduce the beta dose to personnel connected with the taking and carrying of the swipes. In view of the fact that swipes are not quantitative, consideration should be given to s a technique that will provide for quantative removal of activity from the surface. D e e 5
