Dear Mr. Barton:
We have reviewed your letter LL2-81-0216 dated September 11, 1981, and can not accept your response to our question number two. The question concerns the Interica Waste Staging Facility (IWSF) as transmitted in our letter dated July 28, 1981, and stated, "GPU should describe their physical / administrative controls for effluent monitoring in these sumps, and controls to assure proper disposal / treatment". Your response states that if contaminated liquids are detected in the sump of the IWSF in concentrations less than those of Column 1, Table 1 of Appendix B to 10CFR Part 20, that the water would be discharged to the storm drain system (and indirectly to the river). We do not consider this criteria alone to be in accordance with 10CFR 20.106 and the ALARA principles of 10CFR 20.1. Water w W.h cay be detected in the IWSF should be treated in accordance with an oyer 7 liquid waste tranagement plan i
for TMI Unit 2.
Our position is that your ovorail liquid waste management plan shall implement the following criteria.
1.
Accident generated water (attachment 1) shall not be discharged, as specified in Section 3.9.13 of Appendix A to your License
!!o. DPR-73, Technical Specifications, and the June 18, 1931, Order by the Director of the Office of Muclear Reactor Regulation. No accident generated water may be discharged until:
(1) you make a
- proposal, (2) we perfora a safety and environmental analysis of your proposal and provide the recomendations to the Commission, ard (3) the Comission makes a final deteraination on the accept-ability of any proposed ultimate disposition.
2.
Liquids, other than accident generated water, may be discharged to the river provided strict controls are inplace to ensure that the release is:
a) Adoquately sampled, and E.onitored to accurately quantify radionuclides, concentrations and quantities, b) Controlled to ensure that all license conditions are satisfied and the release complies with the ALARA principles of 10CFR 20.1, and c) NRC representative is informed prior to the release.

h-L Mr. John J. Bart n,
~
i Your prograea should incorporate the above criteria, and _be implemented by I
written procedures to be reviewed and approved by my staff in accordance with your Technical Specifications.
It is requested that you prepare such 1
procedures and submit then to the THI Prograa Office for approval by i
'Februaryll, 1982. Attachment 2 contains guidelines for implementation'of the above criteria that we would find acceptable..We are available to.
discuss alternative approaches to achieve the same results at your convenience.

. ATTACHMENT 1 Accident generated water *,.which is specifically defined as:
(a) Water that existed in the TMI-2 auxiliary, fuel handling and containment-buildings: including the primary systems as of October 16, 1979, with the exception of water which as a result-of decontamination operations becomes commingled with nonaccident-generated water such that the commingled _ water has a tritium content of 0.025 pCi/mL or less before processing.
(b) Water that has a total activity of greater than 1 pCi/ml prior to processing except where such water is. originally nonaccident-water and becomes contaminated by use in cle.anup.-
_(c) Water that contains greater than 0.025 pCi/mL of tritium before processing.
- As Jefined in the PEIS and Settlement Agreement !>etween City of Lancaster, NRC and Metropolitan Edison et. al.,,-dated February 27. 1980.

ATTACHMENT 2 ACCEPTAoLE GUIDELINES FOR UNIT 2 OVERALL LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES 1.
Discharge of accident generated water is prohibited.
2.
Implement appropriate sampling, analysis and monitoring to detect possible radioactive contamination in the Industrial Waste Treatment System (IWTS),
associated source subsystems, or other liquid inputs to these systems that could be potentially contaminated (procedures should specify methods to be used).
3.
Prohibit release of contaminated liquids to systems which directly r
or indirectly discharge to the river unless a decision has been made by the GPU organization that it is not " reasonable" to prevent or mitigate the release in accordance with 10CFR 20.1.(ALARA). The on-site NRC staff is to be informed at least 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> in advance of any release of contaminated liquids to the IWTS or related subsystem, and immediately if an uncontrolled and/or unauthorized release to the river has been made.
When informing the NRC of an impending release, GPU should fully explain why the release should not be prevented or further mitigated in accordance with ALARA philosophy. This explanation should include the following information:
a) Amounts and types of radioactive material involved.
b) Source of the radioactive material.
c) Volume of liquid involved.
d) Types of sampling and analysis performed, e) Options considered by GPU to prevent the release and why they were rejected.
