Dear Mr. Giambusso:
The Oconee Nuclear Station Technical Specifications, Appendix B to Facility Operating Licenses DPR-38 and DPR-47, now require that certain chemical effluents from the plant be controlled not to exceed maximum concentrations as given in Table 1.2-1.
The maximum possible resulting concentration of boric acid in the Keowee River as given by that table is 8.8 x 10-4 ppm.
This limit is unrealistically and unnecessarily restrictive as indicated by the fact that it is lower by a factor of more than 100,000 than the concentration shown in WASH-1249, United States Atomic Energy Commission, June,1973, Page E-1 as guidance for drinking water supplies.
In the absence of any known need for such a restrictive limit and in view of the great difficulty involved in meeting such a limit, we request that the limitation on boric acid be removed from Table 1.2-1 of Appendix B.
The plant, however, would be operated in such a manner that, even during periods of maximum chemical discharge and minimum river flow, the resulting boric acid concentration in the Keowee River would be less than 1.0 ppm (approximately 3% of the WASH-1249 guide).
It is also requested that Technical Specification 1.2B of Appendix B be revised to clarify the point of measurement.
This specification now states, "All water discharged from the waste water collection basin shall have a pH between 6.0 and 8.5."
The pH of the effluent from the basin is not always representative of the actual discharge to the Keowee River because of the influence of other local drainage waste streams.
Since the specification should apply to the actual discharge, we, therefore, propose the following revision: "The discharge to the Keowee River from the waste water collection basin and associated drainage shall have a pH between 6.0 and 8.5.
The pH shall be determined daily from a representative sample collected from the combined effluent stream before it discharges to the river."
