Dear Mr. Leech:

SUBJECT:

PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Enclosed is a document which is in response to a request for information from Mr. K. Shiu at Argonne National Laboratories regarding sludge characteristics in the Unit-2 containment sump.

The document is entitled " Solids in Reactor Building Basement".

If you should have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to call me at (201) 263-6341.

Very truly yours, R. M. Milford III Licensing Engineer RMM/jed Enclosures PO/7 5

Shults to J.

A.

Daniel, September 14, 1979, Reported Analyses of Reactor Building Analyses.

The bottom sample contained a greenish precipitate, 10% by volume, (4% after centrifuge) in amounts indicated on Attachment 1.

2.

We estimate between 8,000 and 10,000 lbs. of wetted, packed solids.

The basis for this is as follows:

a.

6363 gal /in (avg) precipitous matter in bottom 4 inches of containment water; b.

Precipitous matter, wet packed volume estimated at u 4% or between 900 and 1000 gallons.

c.

Average bulk density of wetted packed solids is estimated at 68 lbs/ft3, If I may be of further assistance, please call.
