REQUESTS FOR ACTION PLAN TO EVALUATE GROUNOWATER CONDITIONS AT TMI 1.

Take soil and groundwater samples from holes at a minimum of 4 locations using an auger, and located as close to the reactor building as physically possible (closer than MW-2. MW-3, or MW-8).

In addition, take soil and groundwater samples in +.he vicinity of the leaking BRST and near.the auxiliary building.

Shelby tube samples should be used belcw groundwater: level.

2.

Run tritium and isotopic gamma scans on all samples.,

l 3.

Provide concentrations, activities, and history of concentrations of BWST which is located near MW-2.

t 4.

Provide nuclide data from the sampling programs that!were performed at HW-1 and at the monitoring well located near the interim solid waste storage area.

5.

Provide the results of recent sampling of Susquehanna River water with regard to tritium and ganra s. cans.

6.

Provide the containment water level history, j

i 7.

Provide groundwater elevations from. recent monitor well tests and from other available infonration.

8.

Provide recent tritium and ganc.a scan analyses of rec'ent samples taken from MW-8.

9.

Provide detailed evaluations and conclusions regarding the source of leakage, particularly the possibility of leakage from the containment and auxiliary buildings after the accident which may have resulted 'in nuclide migration away.

frca the building.

Include the location of piping and possible pipe leaks in your analysis.

10. Maintain ongoing records and analyses of the well monitoring program and related monitoring programs.

11. Determine constituents of brown' water samples from Md.-3 and MW-8 i
