20555 RE:

Epicor Confidential Disclosure Agreement

Dear Ed:

Enclosed please find the original and four copies having original signatures, of the Confidential Disclosure Agreement between Epicor and the GPU, the NRC and AUI.

All signatures have been obtained on each of the documents with the exception of John Martin of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

I would note that after having received communications from AUI, Dr. Gangwer's name has been deleted from the documents and he will not be a signatory thereto.

Would you kindly have Mr. Martin execute all five copies of the Agreement.

You may then retain one for your files and I would request you return the e tner four to me so that I may distribute them to GPU, AT I, and Epicor.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to communicate with me.

Very truly yours,

CARELLA, BAIN, GILPIL N & RHODES, P.A.

Dear Mr. Arnold:

pu.e Chiea MAY h 01980

Subject:

i: valuation of EPICOR-2 Wastes Under Projected Handling, Storage, Transportation and Disposal Ccnditions As you know, there are a number of alternative methods for handling, storage, transportation and disposal of the EPICOR-2 wastes.

The Commission's Memorandum and Order dated October 16, 1979, directed Metropolitan-Edison to expeditiously construct a facility for solidification of these wastes.

Metropolitan-Edison is presently investigating use of cement solidification.

Regardless of the means ultimately proposed by Metropolitan-Edison, it is essential that the near term and long term performance of the resin liners and the ion exchange resins under the conditions projected to be encountered be analyzed and well understood.

A recent letter status report from Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on the leachability, structural integrity and radi-ation stability of organic ion exchange resins (copy enclosed) notes a number of concerns following preliminary analysis by BNL.

To assist us in understanding the performance capabilicies of EPICOR-2 liners, it is important that the NRC staff have detailed drawings and specifications covering the fabrication, assembly and coating of the liners.

The data shall include, but not limited to, the shop drawings used for manufacturing the parts, fabrication and assembly instructions, welding specifications, liner structural and process material specifications, coating material specifications, surface preparation and coating application procedures, quality control nd testing procedures.

The only documents available to the NRC staf f to date have been essentially engineering sketches that do not indicate any liner internals

~

nor do they cover many of the liner aspects that could be important determinants of performance for both short and long term periods.

With regard to the resin material, a phone conversation of May 7,1980, between R. McGoey (GPU) anc H. Lowenberg (NRC) indicates that an approximate analysis of resin performance under radiation conditions was carried out by your vendor, EPICOR, last year.

We understand that no documentation of that work was or is now available, but that your staff is at this time undertaking such studies.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has requested GPU furnish detailed information about the Epicor II Radwaste Sys-tem in use at Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit II.

The attached lette: dated May 15th, 1980 is a copy of this request.

This letter documents our request to forward this informa-tion in an expeditious manner.

Although this was requested ver-bally, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of providing this data.

Specifically, please forward for each liner la use or projected for use in Epicor II System i

1. The quantity of media used for water cleanup

2. The composition of media

3. The precise form of each media (including any pretreat-ment, etc.)

4. The precise method of media introduction and placement (mixed or in discrete layers, etc.)

l

5. An estimate of media loading with radionuclides, and

6. Any other aspects that can affect either short or long term media performance.

As stated in the attached letter, the NRC staff plans to indepen-dently review the overall performance of the Epicor II liner /res-in system and therefore this information is necessary.

Realizing the proprietary nature of this data, the NRC suggests submittal under the provisions of 10 CFR 2. 709.

This information was requested over one month ago in order to forward it to the NRC by May 30th, 1980.

To date this information has not been received.

It is again stressed the importance of providing this data immediately in order to be responsive to the and allow for an independent review of TMI II operations.

NRC, Should you have any questions please contact me directly.

Very truly yours,
