Title:

Socioeconomic Impacts of TMI-2 Processed Water Disposal Alternatives FIN: B-2366 B&R N0. 20-19-12-01 Technical Monitor:

Bretta Weiss Cognizant NRR Manager: Oliver D. T. Lynch BACKGROUND The TMI accident generated approximately 1.5 million gallons of contaminated water. About 50% of this water has been processed via the EPICOR-II system and is stored on site. The remaining water is being processed by the sub-merged demineralizer system (SDS) and is also stored on site.

Processing is expected te reduce all radionuclide concentrations to trace levels except tri ti um. Tritium cannot be removed with such methods. The total tritium inventory on site is approximately 3000 C1 In February 1980, the NRC, with others, entered into a settlement with the City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in which it was agreed that "... no accident-generated waste water will be discharged into the Susquahanna River from the date of this Settlement Agreement thrcugh December 31,1981, or until the NRC completes its Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement...

or until the NRC completes such other environmental review referred to in its November 21, 1979, Statement.... regarding the discharge of accident-generated waste water into the Susquehanna River, whichever is earlier."

However, nothing contained in the Settlement Agreement precludes either the NRC or the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation from author-izing whatever measures deemed necessary to cope with any emergency situation.

In March 1981, the NRC staff issued the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) regarding the cleanup of Three Mile Island Unit 2.

In the PEIS several alternatives were presented for the disposition of the processed water. Among such alternatives considered by the staff were:

1.

Long term onsite storage as bulk liquid.*

2.

Long term onsite storage as cement slabs.*

Onsite disposal of cement slabb by placement in shallow' land burial trenches.

3.

4.

Onsite injection of the liquid water deep underground.

  • Some local atmospheric releases are unavoidable.

~

2 5.

Shipment offsite for disposal in a shallow land burial facility.

6.

Shipment offsite for disposal by injection in a deep underground well.

7.

Shipment offsite for disposal by dispersal in the ocean.

8.

Controlled release as a vapor to the atmosphere.

9.

Controlled release as a liquid to the Susquehanna River, and subsequently the Chesapeake Bay.

10. Simultaneous releases to the River and the atmosphere.

Considerable public concern has been manifested in the perception of risk resulting from many of these disposal alternatives, especially onsite dis-posal and release to the river.

OBJECTIVE The object ve of this project is to evaluate in more detail than considered i

in the PEIS the potential for such processed water to adversely effect socio-economic conditions in the area of the site, the surrounding environs, trans-portation routes or in the areas near the potential offsite disposal sites.

This information is necessary to supplement and complement other studies on socioeconomic effects contemplated by the State of Maryland, and others, and will also provide an input for a decision by the Commission regarding the ultimate disposition of this processed water.

WORK REQUIREMENTS Estimated Level of Effort:

2.0 person-years Projected Completion Date:

January 1983 For each of the processed water disposition alternatives indicated in BACKGROUND above, with the exception of the impacts on the Chesapeake Bay resulting from discharga to the Susqueh.nna River (which is being investigated by the State of Maryland) but including the Susquehanna River above the Chesapeake Bay.

Task 1.

Provide a study which:

(a) Defines the socioeconomic system which may be at risk; and (b) The process by which implementation of a disposal alternative would lead to adverse' socioeconomic impacts.

~

3 This study should consider socioeconomic characteristics of the geographical locations involved in implementing each alternative and should incorporate relevant information from the literature dealing with avoidance of risk from man-made and natural hazards.

Task 2.

Use the findings of the study of Task 1 above to make an initial assessment of the nature and relative severity of socioeconomic impacts which may be expected with each alternative.

Task 3.

For potentially severe impacts identified in Task 2, describe the nature and severity of the possible impacts more extensively and make quantitative estimates to the extent feasible.

Task 4.

On the basis of Tasks 1-3, analyse the key determinants of socio-economic impacts and identify mitigative actions which would reduce the impacts.

Task 5.

Incorporate, to the extent practicable, the State of Maryland study on socioeconomic impacts on the Chesapeake Bay fisheries and recreational industries from the discharge to the Susquehanna alternative into the com-parison of the other alternatives.

LEVEL OF EFFORT AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE l

The level of effort is estimated at 2.0 person years over a 16 month period.

A monthly business letter report will be submitted by the 15th of the month to the Cognizant NRR Manager with a copy to B. L. Grenier. These reports will contair the following:

- A listing of work completed during the period, including milestones reached, or if missed, an explanation provided; The amount of funds expended during the period and cumulative to date; Any problems or delays encountered or anticipated; If problems are encountered or anticipated, a description of the plans for their resolution, the schedule of their implementation and their impact on the overall program; and A brief summary of progress to date.

MEETINGS AND TRAVEL The contractor will attend a maximum of 8 meetings with the staff over the period of performance in Bethesda, Maryland. These meetings will usually be of one or two days duration and include two members of the contractors staff.

Two sats of transcripts from all TMIPO public meetings on draft PEIS and TMI-2 Advisory Panel meetings (provide all subsequent transcripts also).

Two copies of Final PEIS (both volumes).
