373-4083 April 2, 1976 Mr. Norman C. Moseley, Director U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Suite 818 230 Peachtree Street, Northwest Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re:

Oconee Nuclear Station Docket Nos. 50-269, -270, -287

Dear Mr. Moseley:

Pursuant to the requirements of Oconee Nuclear Station Technical Specification 6.6.2.2.d. this report is submitted describing a condition in which a measured level of radioactivity exceeded the control level by greater than four times, but less than ten times.

On March 25, 1976, analytical results of a well water sample collected on January 8, 1976 were reviewed.

Given below is a summary of the pertinent results of the radioactive concentrations of this sample:

Gross Alpha Gross Beta Sample I.ocation Type of Sample pCi/1 pCi/1 015 Farm Within Well (7.72 1 3.64)E-1 (9. 67 14.89) E-1 5 mile radius (Control) 014 Old Highway 183 Well (3.421 0.83) E0 (4.77 0.69)E0 It is considered that these results are due to the statistical fluctuation of naturally occurring radionuclides in well water since Oconee does not make any ground releases of radionuclides.

Very truly yours, s

William O. Parker, Jr.
