NRC-03-81-137 Page 2 of 5 ARTICLE I - STATEMENT OF WORK A.

Background:

1. e In order to ca.rry out its regulatory responsibility to protect public health and safety the NRC has been closely monitoring cleanup activities at TMI-2.

Before significant cleanup actions are carried out by the licensee they must be reviewed and approved by NRR or the Commission.

The most significant near term action proposed by the licensee is to operate a submerged demineralizer system (SDS) and EPICOR-II water polishing system to decontaminate water in the reactor building basement and reactor coolant system.

The NRC believes that expeditious cleanup of this vater and the remainder of radioactivity on TMI-2 is of prime importance.

As noted in the NRC st;if's final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS, March 1981),

the radioactive water in the reactor building, although presently isolated from the environment, presents a potential hazard to public health and safety.

The PEIS included a scoping evaluation of possible strategies for decontaminating the water in the reacar building basement.

Con-sideration of the licensee's proposed SDS, based on information available at the time, was given in this evaluation. The SDS evaluation in the staff's PEIS was, in large part, prepared by Waste Management Group, Inc.

(WMG) as a subcontractor to Argonne dational Laboratory (ANL).

Since issuance of the PEIS, the licensee has submitted a large volume of revised and detailed information pertinent to NRC's regulatory review of the SDS.

Prior to NRC approval / disapproval to operate the SDS this new information and information yet to be received must be reviewed carefully.

The purpose of this contract is to obtain the services of Waste Management Group, Inc. to, as expeditiously as possible, assist the NRC staff in re-viewing the technical aspects of the SDS.

B.

Work Reouirements:

Task 1 The contractor will work independently to review the technical specifics of the licensee's proposed SDS, especially as they related to safety and environmental considerations. Additionally the contractor will develop a model and predict evaporati e release rates of tritium from processed water in the spent fuel pool housing the SDS. Specifically the con-tractor will review information contained i-the following documents:

1.

Technical Evaluation Report:

Submerged Demineralizer System, submitted to*the NRC by the Licensee 3/11/81.

2.

System Design Description for the Submerged Demineralizer System (SDS), submitted to the NRC by the Licensee.

3.

Supporting correspondence relating to SDS technical specifics.
