OUTLINE The purposes and objectives of this testimony are to respond to the Lewis Contention and ANGRY Contention V(D),
which assert the need for improvements to the auxiliary building filters and for the installation in effluent pathways of systems for the rapid filtration of large volumes of contaminated gases and fluids. The testimony shows that: the quantity of radioactive gases required to be transported outside the TMI-1 reactor building for processing by the waste gas disposal system will be reduced from that experienced at TMI-2; the leakage of radioactive gases is minimized; and the charcoal in the filters is maintained in a condition which encures that iodine removal efficiency will be maximized in gaseous effluent pathway 4. The testimony also concludes that the TMI-2 accident has net demonstrated a need for unspecified additional filtration systems. ,

INTRODUCTION This testimony, by Mr. William F. Itschner, GPU Senior Mechanical Engineer; Mr. Richard Barley, GPU Lead Mechanical Engineer; Mr. James Moore, GPU Mechanical Components Manager, and Dr. Charles Pelletier, Assistant Vice President and Manager, Science Applications, Inc., is addressed to the following contentions:
LEWIS CONTENTION Filters: There are new filters on the auxiliary building of TMIf2. There are no similar structures on the auxiliary building of TMIll. Further, preheaters must be placed on the filters of the auxiliary building because they got wet during the accident on 3/28/79 in TMIf 2. To mitigate a similar accident in TMIll, preheaters on the tilters in the auxiliary building of TMIt1 are necessary.
There are many design errors in the filter system and design of same. I am presenting the above as examples of a larger problem.
ANGRY CONTENTION NO. V(D)
The NRC Order fails to require as conditions for restart the following modifications in the design of the TMI-l reactor without which there can be no reasonable assurance that TMI-l can be operated without endangering the public health and safety:
(D) Installation in effluent pathways of systems for the rapid filtration of large volumes of contaminated gases and fluids.

RESPONSE TO LEWIS CONTENTION BY WITNESS MOORE This contention addresses gaseous radioactive materials located outside the reactor building. Since these radioactive materials are actually produced in the reactor fuel, they would have escaped from the fuel, penetrated the fuel cladding and have been transported through the containment building via one of the plant auxiliary systems, such as the makeup and purification system. At this point, the material is princi-pally contained by the closed auxiliary systems, and thus the design concern for the filtration systems is the limited release of radioactive materials from these systems.
All of the methods employed to control the release of radioactive material are based on the fact that if radioactive material is a ored, natural radioactive decay will reduce the level of radioactivity. In TMI-1, the primary method of controlling gaseous radioactive material is to collect the gas in the waste gas disposal system (WGDS) where it is compressed and stored in tanks. When the radioactivity has decayed to an acceptable level, the gas is released at a controlled rate, as allowed by the plant technical specifications, through High Efficiency Particulate Tbsorbers (HEPA) and charcoal filters to the station vent. Thc HEPA filters retain radioactive par-ticulate matter, while the charcoal filters retain radioactive iodine. Essentially all of the radioactive particulates and
iodine are retained on the HEPA and charcoal filters where they decay and are eventually dipsosed of when the filters are tr71 aced. Thus, the radioactive gases released will consist of
, the long-lived radioactive noble gases which did not decay
~
during the storage period.
4 The TMI-1 auxiliary and fuel handling building ventilation system is designed to control the release of any radioactive gases which may escape from the closed auxiliary systems.
4 These ventilation systems collect air and gases from the various cubicles and areas of the buildings and process them through HEPA and charcoal filters prior to release to the station vent.
In TMI-2, the waste gas disposal system also collected and compressed radioactive gases, and stored them in the waste gas decay tanks. During the first week of the TMI-2 accident, a j significant source of gas outside of the reactor building was in the makeup tank which removed gases from the reactor 4
coolant. In the process of transferring this gas from the makeup tank to the waste gas disposal system and compressing it for storage, leaks in pipe flanges and a compressor released some gas to the auxiliary building atmosphere. It was col-lected by the auxiliary and fuel handling building ventilation systems, processed through HEPA and charcoal filters to remove radioactive particulates and iodine, and then released.
l l
The TMI-2 radioactive gaseous releases and the effectiveness of the charcoal filters following the TMI-2 accident will be discussed below by Dr. Pelletier. The action being taken to assure the effectiveness of the TMI-1 charcoal filters will be described by Mr. Itschner; and the action being taken to minimize the amount of gas which could escape from the auxiliary systems will be described by Mr. Barley.
In addition to these actions, TMI-1 will be modified prior to restart to permit the venting of radioactive gases from the reactor coolant system directly to the reactor building atmosphere for storage and decay in the event of an accident.
This reduces the need to transport large quantities of radioac-tive gases outside the reactor building via the makeup tank for processing by the waste gas disposal system. Thus, the TMI-1 systems outside containment should not provide a significant release path if exposed to the same conditions as experienced at TMI-2.
BY WITNESS PELLETIER:
In responding to both of these contentions, it is impor-tant first to put into the perspective the actual offsite radiological consequences of the TMI-2 accident. The liquid releases during the accident were insignificant. In total, about .4 curies of radioactive liquid iodine were released.(8)
This amount is less than liquid releases technical specifica-tion limits for normal operation.

The gaseous releasen amounted to be about 11 curies of iodine and 10 million curies of short lived noble gases (pre purge).(8) These releases, as explained below, would have been significantly reduced had the TMI-2 accident occurred on the as-modified TMI-1. Even so, however, the radiological con-sequences to the hypothetically most exposed individual from all accident related sources amounted to 16 millirems (8) which is a small fraction of Part 100 guidelines and is less than one-year exposure to background radiation (90 mrem / year).
Early in the TMI-2 accident, it appeared that the charcoal adsorbers in the auxiliary and fuel handling building ventila-tion exhaust systems were not removing as much I-131 as they !
should have been. Indeed, laboratory tests showed that the efficiency of auxiliary building charcoal for removing methyl l iodide was only 56% te 69.5%.(1) Also, there were 1
uncertainties concerning the source of the I-131 in ventilation air. For these reasons, it was decided to install additional iodine adsorbers.
Subsequent analyses show that the charcoal adsorbers in the auxiliary and fuel handling building exhaust removed approximately 90% of the I-131 to which they were exposed.
This estimate is based on the ratio of I-131 measured in the station vent during the first two weeks of the accident and that measured on a sampling of the charcoal after it was replaced starting on April 12, 1980. This higher retention efficiency compared to the previous laboratory tests is due to l l l
l -,
the following factors. One is that laboratory tests were carried out at 95% relative humidity. The relative humidity to which the charcoal was exposed during the first weeks after the accident was less than 95%. An estimat2 of 30% has been given.(1) It has been shown that the higher the relative humidity, the lower the efficiency for retaining methyl iodide.(4,5) The other factor is that laboratory tests are ;
i carried out using 100% methyl iodide. This form of iodine is the most penetrating form known. Measurements at TMI-2 showed that from 10% to 30% of the I-131 in air was in the organic form.(2) The rest was in forms which are retained with higher efficiencies.(7)
Nonetheless, the low retention efficiencies for methyl l iodide measured for the initial charcoal loading at TMI-2 )
indicate that the performance of the charcoal had degraded during its first year of operation.(1,3) To insure that the charcoal at TMI-l retains an efficiency of at least 90% for all forms of I-131, a surveillance program will be carried out. l This program is discussed below by Mr. Itschner. l With regard to employing heaters to reduce moisture in the influent air, tests have shown that maintaining the relative l humidity at 50% to 70% can extend the effective life of charcoal adsorbers.(4,6) Therefore, heaters to lower the relative humidity may be worthwhile. However, this is a question of economics, not safety. Finally, I know of no evidence which suggests that the charcoal "got wet" during the accident at TMI-2. As noted above, the charcoal appeared to have only been exposed to air with an average humidity of 30%.
BY WITNESS ITSCHNER:
As noted above, during the TMI-2 accident the auxiliary and fuel handling building filter systems removed most of the radioactive iodine that was released to the auxiliary and fuel handling building atmosphere.
One and one half months following the accident Licensee completed construction of supplemental HEPA and charcoal filters on the roof of the TMI-2 auxiliary building that were in series with the auxiliary and fuel handling building ventilation systems and filters. These supplemental filters provided iodine and particulate filtering of the auxiliary and fuel handling building ventilation systems effluent.
The supplemental filters were installed to provide additional capability for radioactive iodine removal during l reactor stabilization and plant cleanup because the installed l l
system filters were thought to be degraded as described above by Dr. Pelletier.
In order to prevent degradation of the TMI-l filter l systems, improved testing and maintenance requirements have been adopted for the filters that serve both the auxiliary and l fuel handling building ventilation systems and the TMI-l WGDS.
These requirements increase the frequency of routine testing and require non-routine testing following events such as fires l
or painting which may reduce the filter performance in an accelerated fashion. These requirements were incorporated in the TMI-1 Technical Specifications.
Supplemental filters like those installed on TMI-2 are not needed on TMI-1 because action being taken ensures that the currently installed filters will have sufficient capacity to perform their intended function.
BY WITNESS BARLEY:
As explained above, a significant release pathway of short lived radioactive noble gases was leakage in the Unit 2 WGDS to the auxiliary building atmosphere which bypassed the waste gas decay tanks. To avoid leakage in the Unit 1 WGDS, a leak reduction program for systems outside containment has been implemented as described in Section 2.1.1.8 of the Restart Report. This program will significantly reduce the liquid and airborne radioactive containment levels outside the contain-ment. The TMI-1 waste gas disposal system is included in the leak reduction program (see Item 5 of Table 2.1.-4, Restart Report.)
Further, as discussed in Licensee's testimony on contain-ment isolation in Response to Sholly Contention No. 1, and Section 2.1.1.5 of the Restart Report, containment isolation modifications are being made which will reduce the transfer of radioactive contamination from the reactor building. This will assist in lowering the potential levels of airborne l l
i contamination outside containment and also reduce the demand on the gaseous and liquid radwaste systems.
BY WITNESSES ITSCHNER, BARLEY, MOORE AND PELLETIER:
In summary, the modification and design provisions described above ensure that:
(1) The quantity of radioactive gases required to be transported outside the reactor building for processing by the WGDS at TMI-l will be reduced from that experienced at TMI-2; (2) The leakage of radioactive gases is minimized, thus ensuring that radioactive gases are decayed prior to release, and (3)
Charcoal is maintained in a condition which ensures that iodine removal efficiency will be maximized in gaseous effluent pathways.

RESPONSE TO ANGRY CONTENTION NO. V(D)
BY WITNESS MOORE As discussed in Licensee's testimony above, the TMI-2 accident demonstrated a need to ensure that gaseous systems are appropriately maintained in an operable condition. The Licensee has taken action to assure charcoal and filtration units are properly maintained and that gaseous radwaste systems are intact. Further, the containment structure is designed to hold fission products released from the primary system in the event of accidents.
It is concluded that the TMI-2 accident has not demonst-rated a need for unspecified " installation in effluent pathways of systems for the rapid filtration of large volumes of contaminated gases and fluids." Rather, the TMI-2 experience has demonstrated that gases and liquids (fluids) can be maintained in containment and storage facilities until such time as processing can proceed.
