This will be accomplished no later than June 15, 1982.
2.
Inspect and repair as necessary the reach rod couplings for the. post-accident reactor water sampling panel to ensure proper valve manipulation.
This will be accomplished no later than April 30, 1982.
3.
Evaluate whether containment atmosphere samples are representative because l
of iodine plate-out in the sample vials and correct any deficiencies identified.
Provide a written report on the results to the NRC Region I office.
This will be accomplished no later than June 30, 1982.

provide a method for making initial dose projection if installed Control Room instrumentation is inoperable; and, provide Control Room personnel with the relationship of high-range containment readings to core condition (1.e. gap release or core melt).
This will be accomplished no later than June 1, 1982.
