a WISCONSIN Electnc eom coww 231 W. MICHIGAN, P.O. BOX 2046. MILWAUKEE, WI 53201 July 7, 1980 Mr. J. G. Keppler, Regional Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement, Region III U. S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 799 Roosevelt Road Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137
Dear Mr. Keppler:
DOCKET NOS. 50-266 AND 50-301 RESPONSE TO IE BULLETIN NO. 80-10 POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 The subject bulletin, which discusses contamination of normally non-radioactive systems and the resulting potential for unmonitored or uncontrolled releases of radioactivity, required licensees to review their facility design and operation to identify systems that are considered as non-radioactive, but could possibly become radioactive through interfaces with radioactive systems.
The bulletin also requires that for those systems identified in this review, a routine sampling / analysis or monitoring program to promptly identify any contaminating events should be established.
We have completed a review of the systems at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, and have identified several systems which could potentially become contaminated.
As was done in the past for the evaluations of contamination of breathing air (Notice 79-08) and demineralized cleaning water (Notice 77-14),
the Point Beach Nuclear Plant Manager's Supervisory Staff will evaluate each of these systems to determine whether the postulated scenario represents a significant contamination potential.
If it is determined that a significant contamination potential exists with a resulting possibility for uncontrolled or unmonitored releases of radioactivity, the Staff will determine whether additional sampling / analyses or monitoring is appropriate to provide early indications of a contaminating event.
The necessary procedural changes or plant modifications will then be initiated. dTb s m eo

6 Mr. J. G. Keppler July 7, 1980 As a result of concurrent efforts oa responses to numerous other bulletine, information requests, and short-term lessons learned implementation, we do not anticipate completing this review and determination until the end of August 1980.
The specifics regarding our actions on this bulletin are being documented anf will be available for your review on site by that date.
Very truly yours,
/e b6.
