ENVIRONMENTAL l'ONITORING As a result of chances in Technical Snecifications, sampling milk for 1311 was dis-continued on September 21, 1973.
Thirty-nine (39) samales were obtained durina the third ouarter from the perimeter monitorino stations and were aralyzed for aloha and beta activity. The aloha activitv ranaed frcm 1.38 (10~16) to 7.28 '(10 15) uCi/ml for an average of 2.95 (10'16) uCi/m1'.
~
The' beta activity ranged from 6.96 (10 15) to 9.85 (10~14) uCi/ml with an average of 3.73 (10'1") uCi/ml.
LOW LEVEL LIOUID EFFLUENTS The amounts of radioactivity in liouid discharced from the plant during this ceriod and their relationship to the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in the Cattaraugus Creek are shown in Table 1.
G,ASEOUS EFFLUENTS The amcunt of particulate radicactivity discharged via the plant stack and the relationshio to the release limit in the Technical Specifications is shown in Table 2.
Chance 20 to the Technical Scecifications discor.tinued the recuirements of Krypton-85 and Iodine-131 monitoring while plant operations are suspended.
SURVEILLANCE TESTS During this period, tests were performeu in accordance with Section 6 of the Technical Speci fications.
The ccmpletion dates are shown in Tables 3 and 4 LOW LEVEL LIOUID WASTE TREATMENT PLANT PERFORMA"CE During this ceriod, the LLWT was in ooeration a total of 18 days and treated 1.7C8,0^9 gallons of water.
Fifty-five drums of concentrated sludge were removed each havino a radiation level of <10 mr/hr.
Decontamination of waste water continues to be cood.
All water discharced has been below 2.0 x 10 5 uCi Cs l37/ml. Average removal factors for this period are shown below.

NUCLEAR FUEL
SUMMARY
The following information is based upon nuclear material accountability records and indicates the disposition of nuclear material in fuel at the 2
reprocessing plant.
A.
INVENTORY The total on-site inventory on September 30, 1981 was 166,759 kilograns of uranium and 1,033,065 grams of plutonium. An inventory description by source and material type is presented in Table 5.
B.
PECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS During the quarter, there were no shipments or receipts of spent fuel assenblies at the West Valley site.
C.
MEASURED WASTE AND ADJUSTMENTS There were no losses of uranium or plutonium during the reportino period as reasured waste.
No adjustments for uranium and plutonium to NFS Lot 27A were required.
D.
LOSS ON DECAY During the prior period, there was a decrease of 1,767 grams of I
plutonium due to loss on decay of the Pu-241 isotope. A correction due to an earlier computational error reduced inventory an additional 1,201 grams, resulting in a total decrease of 3,033 grams to the nlutonium inventory.

T RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE A.
Solid Waste The radioactive plant waste buried during this quarter consisted of 906.27 cu. ft. containing 17.258 curies.
This material was buried in the NRC-licensed burial area.
B.
High Level Licuid Waste As of June 30, 1981, the high level storage tank 8D-2 contained 581,800 gallons of neutralized waste with an activit.v of 3,732 pCi Cs-137/ml and 28 uCi Cs-134/ml.
FACILITY PERFORMAtlCE AtlD MODIFICATI0flS This secticn describes:
1.0 Major Modifications 1.1 Installed a pH meter and probe in the FRS storage pool area to monitor the pH of the water in the storage ocol. The probe is located in the northwest corner of the storage cool.
The meter is located on the control panel board in the East Mechanical Operating Aisle.
1.2 Installed a 150-gallon sulfuric acid day tank on the first floor of the low level waste treatment plant.
