Effluent and Environmental (Radiological) Information Liquid effluents from the TMI site released to the Susquehanna River after processing, were made within the regulatory limits and in accordance with NRC requirements and City of Lancaster Agreement dated February 27, 1980.
During th'e period June 11, 1982, through June 17, 1982, the effluents contained no detectable radioactivity at the discharge point although individual effluent sources which originated within Unit 2 contained small amounts of radioactivity. Calculations indicate that less than five-thousandths (0.005) of a cur.ie of tritium and less than two hundred-thousandths (0.00002) of a curie of cesium were discharged.

Major Activities Submerged Demineralizer System (SDS).
Processing of the second batch 1.
(approximately 50,000 gallons) of reactor coolant system (RCS) water was completed on June 12, 1982.
Pumping of reactor building sump water to the SDS feed tanks commenced on June 14,1982, and was terminated on June 15, 1982, when an SDS sand filter became loaded. Approximately 4,000 gallons were transferred.
The water is being pumped from a point below the general floor level (in the incore instrument trough) of the reactor building and apparently sludge is being washed into this area, drawn into the pump suction, and collected on the sand filter.
Including this 4,000 gallons, the total amount of sump water in the SDS feed tanks is now approximately 47,000 gallons. This water remains to be processed.

Reactor Building Entry.
During the reactor building entry on June 17, 1982, a radiation survey was made in the open stairway going down to the 282 ft. elevation. A health physics technician descended the stairs from the 305 ft. elevation to a landing approximately eight feet above the basement floor (282 ft. elevation).
Radiation levels at the landing were 12 R/hr gamma and 35 rad /hr beta. A radiation survey approximately three feet above the basement floor indicated that the gamma field was 24 R/hr.
Based on a visual observation, the basement ENCLOSURE B
floor was described as completely covered with a liquidity brown material. The depth of the material was difficult to estimate, and may range from a fraction of an inch to several inches.
Two reactor building entries are scheduled for next week.

install accoustic monitors (microphones) on the APSR drive mechanism to monitor their performance during the evolution.
The evolution consists of first attempting to withdraw the APSR 3/16 of an inch in 1/32 of an inch increments. Next an attempt will be made to insert the APSR 3/8 of an inch in 1/32 of an inch increments.
During the above steps, collection of current, voltage, and accoustic data will be made to help determine the APSR mechanism performance characteristics.
Following these steps, the APSR will be driven into its " full-in" position such that normal uncoupling of the APSR from its lead screw can be performed prior to reac, tor vessel head removal.
If at any time the APSR fails to move at the maximum electrical current that can be applied to the drive mechanism, the APSR will be left in that position and attempts will be made to move the next APSR until all eight have been dther moved to the " full-in" position or it has been verified that the The data gathered during this evolution is expected APSR will not move.

On June 16, 1982, a briefing was given to Jim Milhoan of OPE, Roger Strehlow OPE's Consultant on Hydrogen and several members of the Containment System Reseach/NRR on the RES Hydrogen Safety Research Program by John Larkins.
The briefing was requested by OPE to assist them in assessing the status of work (both RES and NRR) on hydrogen particularly as it relates to ice condenser containments.
LOFT Large Break Test Completed The L2-5 experiment was conducted in the LOFT reactor in Idaho at 6 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 16. This experiment simulated a 200% (gillotige) break in a reactor cold leg pipe. The peak clad temperature was about 1480 F.
An effort was made to simulate rapid pump shutdown by shutting off the current to the M-G set in i second such that the coast down was reduced to less than a minute from the normal coast down lasting several minutes. This resulted in no early quench such as was seen in previous large LOCA experiments. Quench was complete in 53 seconds (initial quenching was seen in less than ten seconds in previous experiments).
Low pressure injection was stopped at 100 seconds in an unexnected procedure initiated by EG&G in preparation for the final LOFT test L2-6 in which fuel damage is expected. This procedure was done to ten if refill water could be confined to the vessel without spilling out into the rest of the system, to be able to confine the fission products to the ve.ssel in L2-6.
As a result of this procedurg a second core dryout was experienced in which clad temperatures of about 1100 F were seen.
The initial observed data from L2-5 seems to coincide with the test predittions and early indications are that the test was successful.

O REGION V ITEMS OF INTEREST WEEK ENDING JUNE 18, 1982 Environmental Protection Agency Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory On 6/7/82, a new detector cell containing approximately 15 millicuries of nickel-63 was installed in gas chromatograph. On 6/8/82, a temperature of 470 degrees C was read on the gas chromatograph which was observed to exceed the normal operating temperature of the detector cell of less than 375 degrees C.
The licensee's Radiation Safety Officer was notified and the laboratory containing the gas chromatograph was sealed off from use until the room was monitored for contamination. On 6/9/82, wipes were taken throughout the laboratory and assayed by proportional and liquid scintilla-tion counting techniques. The floor and bench top surfaces were found to be contaminated with an unidentified isotope with an energy characteristic of hydrogen-3.
The licensee reported that no other isotopes have been or are currently used in the laboratory except for nickel-63 used in the detector cell. A maximum of 12,000 cpm was measured from the contaminated wipes. The laboratory and gas chromatograph remain unused until decontamination pro-cedures currently in effect reduce the contamination present to acceptable levels. A urine bioassay has been performed on one individual. Results of the bioassay are unavailable to date.
No bioassay has been performed on a second potentially exposed occupational worker.

San Onofre DN 50-361 The resident inspector reported that, during the conduct of a special l
Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFW) test on June 1, 1982, to determine the cause of previously observed piping vibrations, a weld attaching a one inch vent line to a two inch line failed. The failed weld is on a crossover line connecting the discharge lines of the motor driven AFW pumps. The failure resulted in an accumulation of non-radioactive water in the AFW pump rooms.
The licensee repaired the failed weld, performed dye-penetrant testing of 13 other welds, and is continuing with post-core hot functional testing. After investigation of the event, the licensee attributes the excessive piping vibration to use of a flow patch which resulted in flow in a reverse direction through a Kerotest valve.

' Portland General Electric Company Trojan - DN 50-344 After removal of the core barrel from the reactor vessel, remote video examination of metal pieces found in the bottom of the reactor vessel, together with UT measurement results, indicate that the pieces are probably l
portions of thermal sleeves initially installed where the safety injection accumulator piping joins the reactor coolant system cold leg piping.
Pieces representing about 1 and 1/4 sleeves have been found.
UT results obtained from the nozzles and compared with UT results from a mockup suggest that all four sleeves are missing. However, because of the inherent difficulty in interpreting UT results, the licensee is also planning video inspection of l
the cold legs and nozzles. Based on discussions with Westinghouse, the licensee concludes that the thermal sleeves are not really required (not installed in newer plants) and does not plan to replace them. Specific corrective actions have not been determined by the licensee.

Commi ssioner Gilinsky's Separate Views on the CRGR Charter "At issue was the following paragraph in the proposed CRGR Charter:
"The CRC R will review only those proposed power reactor safery r equirements which (a) the responsible office direct.or has reviewed and approved, or (b) the office director has requested CRGR review, or (c) review has been directed by the EDO.
CRGR reviews will be based primarily on the information provided by the responsible NRC office.
Other information considered by the CRGR shall be docunented as to source and content and shal,1 receive l

However, the primary focal l
point for public comments will be the responsible NRC office and not CRGR.
"In striking this paragraph the Commission blurs the line of responsibility and authority between the CRGR and the principal line offices which invites managerial confusion."
