Gentlemen:
This refers to the April 3,1981 telephone conversation between Mr. Cooney of your staff and Mr. McCabe of this office regarding radicactive releases from Peach Botton Atomic Power Station.
On March 30 and 31, 1981, improper Unit 2 lineup for " feed and bleed" of the Drywell Chilled Water system resulted in an unplanned and unmonitored release of about 200 microcuries of radioactive liquid to the environment. Although there was no actual public health and safety effect, the event is indicative of inadequate control over facility activities. Tc prevent recurrence,.we understand that you have ccm=itted to the following.
1.
Performing documented review of all presently contaminated, normally non-radioactive systems to assure that permissible activities will not result in unplanned or unmenitored radioactive releases to the plant or environs.
2.
Conducting activities which could result in a radioactive release to the environs only in accordance with precedures reviewed by the Plant Operations Review Ccomittee and approved by the Statien Superintendent or designated alternate. These procedures will provide careful safe;uards against unplanned or unmonitored releases to the plant or envirens and will include provisiens, where feasible, for locking components whose operation could result in a radicactive release to the envirens.
For normally uncontaminated systems which beceme contaminated, the precedures will provide for evaluating the feasibility of el=inating the contamination sources before removing contaminants from the system. Contamination Control procedures ~will be applied to activities involving both contaminated and potentially contaminated syste=<.

3.
Performing a documented review of potential liquid release paths to the environment, including drain systems, with recommendations for improvement of the safeguards against unplanned or unmonitored releases to the plant or environs to be provided and acted upon, and with a schedule for appropriate corrective actions to be developed, promulgated, and aggressively pursued.
4.
Development, approval, and implementation of procedures for operation, surveillance, and testing of liquid process radioactivity monitors, including-the Reactor Building Cooling Water System radioactivity monitors, to include calibration, expected readings, routine checks, resolving discrepant indications, and additional sampling when the monitors are inoperable.
5.
Establishing, and providing to this office, within seven days, a schedule for accomplishing the above commitments, with any changes to that schedule to be submitted, with the justification therefor, to this office in writing.
If our understanding of your actions and commitments as described above is not in accordance with the actual actions and commitments involved, please contact this office by telephone immediately and in writing within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
