Dear Ser.ator Stone:
RReid Gray file w/inc.
In your ietter of May 9,1980 (Z0128170008), you requested that s e respcnd to questicr.s from I's. Francine Rcbinson of Gainesville, Flcrida.
Our rcspcnse to her questions is as follows:
1.
The radioactive water resulting from the Crystal River Nuclear Plant accident of February 26, 1980, has noif been prccessed in the Crystal River 3 Raduaste Disposal System by evaporation.
Follouing evapora-tion which removed the radioactive material in the water, the water was recondensed.
The water was normal primary syste.a uatcr with no
==
increased an.ounts of radioactivity.since there was no fuel da:r. age during the February accident.
The water, follcuing cleanup in the Crystal River 3 Raduaste System, was returned to the Berated hater Storage Tank for further use in the primary systea of Crystal River 3.
The water was not returned to the environment.
The procedures for E+
disposal /prccessing of radioactive water were reviewed and approved by Florida Power CorporatiorJs Plant Review Co:.r.ittee.
In addition, these procedures i.ere reviewed by the !;RC resident inspectcr. The NRC resident inspector also verified valve positions prior to the start of processing of conta:r.inated water.
2.
Radicactive vaste produced in recycling norr.al prir.ary ::ystem water, such as that from the Crystal River 3 accident in February is con-sidered low level waste and is shipped to licensed burial grcunds.
=y=;
The NRC has established requirements for Crystal River 3 as a result of the Fchruary accidcnt by Order dated April 14, 1980.
'M have no plans for " phasing out" the Crystal River Plant.
!!e vill, heuever, not authcrire Crystal River Unit 3 to restart until we are satisfied
=;
with the reredial actions taken by Ficrida Pcuer Corpcraticn at the
==
plant with respect to the February 26, 1980 accident.
