SUBJECT:
NRC I&E BULLETIN 80-10 CONTAMINATION OF NONRADI0 ACTIVE SYSTEMS
Dear Mr. Grier:
The FitzPatrick Plant staff has completed a review of the subject Bulletin. The results of the review are presented below in the same order as the required action is presented in the Bulletin.
1)
Based on the subject Bulletin, the FSAR and the Plant Design, the Auxiliary Boiler, Demineralized Water, Plant Air, and Sanitary Waste Systems are considered as nonradioactive systems that could possibly become radioactive through inter-faces with other systems due to leakage or other operating conditions. Of these systems, the FSAR considered the possible radioactive contamination of the Auxiliary Boiler System and noted that blowdown of the auxiliary boilers was routed to the storm sewer drain system.
Since this blowdown water normally contains certain boiler chemistry control chemicals, these drains have been re-routed to the radwaste facility thereby removing the auxiliary boiler to storm sewer connection.
The Demineralized Water System is not connected to any contam-inated system except Condensate Transfer, Condensate S;orage and the Main Condenser.
These systens are at very low pressure or in the case of the connection to Condensate Transfer, two (2) normally closed isolation valves and a blank flange in the series effectively make contamination of the Demineralized Water System unlikely.
In addition, with the exception of the Demineralized Water Storage Tanks and Pumps, leakage from the system would be processed and monitored by radwaste.

Bc,c.e H. Grier, Director July 7, 1980 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission JAFP 80-555 SULJECT: NRC I&E BULLETIN 80-10 Page The Plant Air Systems extend throughout every portion of the plant.
Leakage from these systems would generally be monitored by the plant ventilation monitor systems install-ed.
Contamination of the Sanitary Waste System is considered unlikely since the decontamination facilities for equipment and personnel are physically separated from the other shower and sanitary facilities.
In addition, the drains associated with the personnel and equipment decontamination equipment is routed to the radwaste systems.
Therefore, any contamination as the result of decontamination operations would be monitored within the radwaste facility.
2)
Routine sampling and analysis programs for the Auxiliary Boiler, Demineralized Water and Plant Air Systems have been in place for several years.
Subsequent to the issue of this Bulletin, the FitzPatrick Plant implemented sampling and analyzing procedures for the Sanitary Waste System.
3)
Since possible contamination of the Auxiliary Boiler System was considered in the FSAR, no 10CFR50.59 determination is required for the Auxiliary Boiler System.
In the event that the Demineralized Water, Plant Air System or Sanitary System should become contaminated as defined by 10CFR20, a 10CFR50.59 determination and environmental radiation dose limits, as required by 40CFR190, will be made.
4)
No action is required on this item.
Very truly yours,.
