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 second quarter from the perimeter The alpha activity monitoring stations and were analy(zed for alpha and beta activity.1.66(1016)pCi/ml.
10 16 uCi/ml for an average of ranged from 1.38(1016)to5.094.00(10-}4)to2.74(1013) pCi/ml with an average of The beta activity ranged from 1.40 (10 13) 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.
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 Secti]n 6 of the Technical Specifica'; ions. The completion dates are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
LOW LEVEL i10VID WASTE TREATMENT PLANT PERFORMANCE During this period, the LLWT was in operation a total of 27 days ani treated 2,283,000 gal 1ons of sater.
Sixty-eight 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 Csl37/ml. Average removal factors i
for this period are shown below.

~
records and indicates the disposition o' nuclear material in fuel at the f
reprocessing plant.
A.
INVENTORY The total on-site inventory on June 30, 1981 was 166,759 kilograms of uranium and 1,036,098 grams of plutonium. An inventory description by source and material type is presented in Table 5.
B.
RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS During the quarter, there were no shipments or receipts of spent fuel assemblies at the West Valley site.
C.
MEASURED WASTE AND ADJUSTMENTS There was a loss of <1 kilogram of uranium and 6 grams o.f plutonium during the reporting period as measured waste.
Adjustments (of <1 kilogram) for uranium and (6 grams) for plutonium to NFS Lot 27A were required.
D.
LOSS ON DECAY Calculated semi-annually on 3/31 and 9/30.
e
PROCESSING
SUMMARY
During this period there was no processing of fuel.
On May 27, a periodic pumpdown of Waste Tank 80-1 was started.
' I The pumpdown was completed on May 28 - 37,500 gallons of excess condensate was transferred from Waste Tank 8D-1 to Waste Tank 8D-2.

RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE A.
Solid Waste The radioactive plant waste buried during this quarter consisted of 2254.39 cu. ft. containing 56.661 curies. This material was buried.in the NRC-licensed burial area.
B.
High Level Liquid Waste As of June 30, 1981, the high level storage tank 8D-2 contained 590,600 gallons of neutralized waste with an activity of 3,102 pCi Cs-137/ml and 28 pCi Cs-134/ml.
