Dear Ms.'Adensam:
b This will respond.to referen'ce 6:regarding'our remedial action g
plan for the uranium contamination ~beneath the~ fuel processing
- building. 'The objectives'statedJin the summary'of. reference'6 are
. consistent'with.the objectives we continue ~to use~to guide our actions.

44 As you'know,-GE is. integrating with the State of North-Carolina on-E thisjmatter'and have committed-to submitting' periodic' reports-on
- our progress.. Copies of these reports are also provided to the F
.NRC.
TheLPhase I (10/23/92)' and Phase.II (11/12/92)-reports
-(references-4 and 5) have already been transmittec';
It is
.E
'important : to note that data-in these reports demchtrate that~
contamination:is isolated in the upper surficial aquifer and no
- uranium; appears in the lower surficial.or principal ^ aquifers.

The first quarter 1993 FMOX Groundwater Assessment Report (RTI #
5230/01F) has also been completed and is attached.
The data in
'the report demonstrate several key points:
(1) There continues to be no indication of cuatamination in the lower surficial and principal aquifers.
(2) Groundwater chemistry remains stable.
(3) Groundwater flow in the vicinity of the fuel processing i
building remains generally unchanged.
(4) The horizontal collection system continues to remove residual contaminants from the area.
Groundwater flow in the upper sand layer is 1avorably influenced by the operation of the horizontal collection system.
(5) The first quarter 1993 monitoring results from sampling wells in the immediate area (fuel building perimeter) continue to demonstrate that the control and remediation program is
+
effective in preventing the spread of contamination.
