LICENSEE'S RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORIES (THIRD SET) OF THREE MILE ISLAND ALERT, INC.
INTERROGATORY NO. 1 Have there been any releases of radiation into the air during the first quarter of 1979, that exceeded the daily average com-posite releases of the prior quarter?
INTERROGATORY NO. 2 If so, state:

RESPONSE
1.
Airborne iodine releases from TMI-l during the t.rst quarter, 1979, were greater than the fourth quarter, 1978.
2.
(a)

The cause was the Iodine-131 which was transferred from the Unit 2 Fuel Handling Building to the Unit 1 Fuel Handling Building during the TMI-2 accident.
8004110 l62
. (c)
No remedial measures were taken since none were needed.
(d)
The amount of iodine released was far below regulatory limits and no warnings or fines were received from the NRC.

The responses to Interrogatory Nos.
1, 2 and 3 compare gaseous and liquid released during the fourth quarter, 1978, with the first quarter, 1979.
All airborne releases from TMI-l during the first quarter, 1979, were less than the third quarter, 1978.
Dissolved noble gases in liquid releases for the first quarter, 1979, were greater than for the third quarter, 1978.
(a)
The dissolved ncble gas concentration in the liquid effluent during the first quarter, 1979,
_10 was 5x10 pCi/cc; for the third quarter, 1978, l
the dissolved noble gas concentration in the liquid effluent was 2x10 10 uCi/cc.
l
. (b)
Licensee is unable to identify a particular cause for the higher levels during the first quarter, 1979.
This is because both specific activities are extremely low and there is no significant difference between them.

The areas where noble gas concentrations would havc ex-ceeded 10 C.F.R. Part 20 values for short periods of time are downwind, within a one-mile radius around TMI, during low wind speed conditions.
Precise areas are indicated in TDR-TMI-ll6.
INTERROGATORY NO. 6 What is TDR-TMI-ll6, referred to in your answer to Interrogatory 8 (First Set) ?

INTERROGATORY NO. 14 In its response to Interrogatory 31 (Second Set), Licensee states that eight (8) facilities associated with TMI-1 are still being used to deal with the clean-up of the accident at TMI-2.
When will each of the eight (8) facilities listed in Attachment A to Interrogatory 31 no longer be needed to deal with the accident?
INTERROGATORY NO. 15 After these facilities are no longer needed in connection with TMI-2, will they be contaminated?
INTERROGATORY NO. 16 If so, how long will it take for them to be decontaminated?
RESPONSE
The eight facilities associated with TMI-1 are still being used to deal with the TMI-2 recovery effort.
The systems will be limited to the exclusive use of TMI-l and will be decontaminated I
of TMI-2 materials prior t0 restarting TMI-1.
It is unknown at this time precisely when these facilities will no longer be
i 11 -
needed by the TMI-2 recovery effort or how long decontamination will take.
