EtlVIR0f!MErlTAL M0!!ITORIt!G As a result of changes in Technical Soecifications, sampling milk for 1311 was dis-continued on September 21, 1973.
Thirty-nine (39) sarples were obtained dur-ing the fourth quarter from the perimeter monitorina stations and were analyzed for alpha and-beta activity. The aloha activity uCi/mi for an averace of 2.46 (10 16) uCi/ml.
ranced from 1.36 (10 16) to 7.50 (10 16 2.39(10-}5)to5.19(1014) uCi/ml with an averaae of The beta activity ranged from 2.58 (10 l') uCi/ml.
LOW LEVEL LIOUID EFFLUE!!TS The amounts of radioactivity in liquid discharged from the plant during this period and their relationship to the maximum pemissible concentration (fiPC) in the Cattaraugus Creek are shown in Table 1.
GASEOUS EFFLUE!!TS The amount of particulate radioactivity discharaed 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 requirenents of Krypton-85 and Iodine-131 monitoring while plant operations are_ suspended.
SURVEILLAl ICE TESTS During this period, tests were performed in accordance with Section 6 of the Technical Specifications. The completion dates are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
LO!! LEVEL LIOUID WASTE TREAiME!1T PLAfti PERF0PFANCE During this period, the LLWT was in operation a total of 41 days and treated 3,227,000 gallons of water. Two hundred and seven (207) drums of concentrated sludae were removbd each havina a radiation level of <10 mr/hr.
Decontanination of waste water continues to.
be good. All water discharged has been below 2.0 x 10 5 uCi Cs137/ml. Average removal factors for this period are shown below.
