' Attention: Mr. S. A. Varga Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Units 1 and 2 10CFR20 Exemption Request; Iodine Filter Respiratory Protection Additional Ir. formation for Radiological Assessment Branch Gentlemen:

The following information is submitted in clarification of our response dated February 10, 1984 to questions for exemption to 10CFR20,

. Appendix A, Footnote (c). The applicable question and more accurately stated response are provided:

Question 471.1

" Describe the methods which will be utilized to reduce potential radiciodine levels in the work area to minimal levels. This should include...

degasification..."

Revised Response:

Degasification Normal shutdown procedures require degasification of the RCS by venting the pressurizer vapor space. This process removes and reduces radioactive gas concen-trations including iodine.

Change:

Reference to reactor vessel head venting was removed.

Head venting was inaccurately referred to as a normal shutdown evolution. Although this procedure is still available for use, it is not routinely practiced for operational considerations.

Yours very truly,

[4 o -[nt
