j ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
- As a result of changes in Technical Specifications, sampling milk for 131I was dis-continued on September 21, 1973.
Thirty-nine -(39) samples were obtained during the first quarter from the perimeter monitoring stations and'were analyzed for alpha and beta activity. The aloha activitv pCi/ml for an average o'f. 1.85 (10 16).uCi/ml'.
ranged from 1.36 (10 16) to 8.27 (10 16 2.66(10-}4)to1.99(10 13) pCi/ml with an average of The beta activity ranged from
- 7.04 (10 14) pCi/ml.
LOW LEVEL LIQUID EFFLUENTS
~
The amounts of radioactivity in liquid discharged from the plant during this period and their relationship to the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in the Cattaraugus Creek are shown in Table 1.1.
GASE0US EFFLUENTS.'
The amount of particulate radioactivity discharged via the plant stack and the relationship' to_ the release limit in the Technical Specifications is shown in Table
- 2. _-Change 20 to the Technical Specifications discontinued the requirements of
. Krypton-85 and Iodine-131 monitoring while plant operations are suspended.
' SURVEILLANCE TESTS During this period, tests were performed in accordance with Section 6 of the Technical
' Specifications. The completion dates are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
LOW LEVEL LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT PLANT PERFORMANCE _
During this period, the LLWT was in operation a total of 34 days and treated 2,725,400 gallons of water.
Ninety-six (96) drums of concentrated sludge were removed each having
- a. radiation level of <10 mr/hr.
Decontamination of waste water continues to be good.
All water discharged has'_been below 2.0 x 10 5 pCi Csl 37/ml. Average removal factors for this period are shown below.

'During this quarter the Koroseal liner was removed from ion exchange bed 48092-1 because the liner had separated from the wall of the vessel. A 1/8 inch thick fiber-glass (HETRON 197) liner, manufactured by Ashland Chemical Corporation, was applied
- on the vessel interior surfaces.

SUMMARY
The following information is based upon nuclear material accountability records and indicates the disposition' of nuclear material in fuel at the reprocessing plant.
A.
INVENTORY 4
The total on.= site inventory on flarch 31, 1981 was 166,759 kilograms of uranium and 1,036,098 grams of pl Jtonium. An inventory description by source and material type is presented in Table 5.
B.
RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS During the quar *:er, there were no shipments or receipts of spent fuel assemblies at the West Valley site.
C.
MEASURED WASTE AND ADJUSTMENTS There was no loss of uranium or plutoniura during the reporting pariod as treasured waste.
No adjustments for uranium and plutonium to NFS Lot 27A were required.
D.
LOSS ON re CAY Paring the period 9/30/80 - 3/31/81 there was a reduction of 1,842 grams of plutonium in stored fuel due to the radioactive decay of the Pu-241 isotope.
