Section 1.1 and 3 1.A.

Dear Mr. Gianbusso:

The purpose of this letter in to report chlorine residual concentrations in the discharge bay in excess of the limit-ing conditions for operation in the nonradiological technical specifications . The limit of 0.1 ppm free and combined chlorine in the discharre bay was exceeded on several occassions since my last report on this subject dated April 14, 1073 On April 13, 1973, station personnel sampled the discharge bay. The total chlorine residual registered as high as 0.65 ppm with 496 gallons of sodium hypochlorite being injected. On April 15, 1973, the unit two sodium hypo-chlorite system and condensers were taken out of service until April 27, 1973 for a planned spring outage. On April 18, 1973, the discharge bay was again sampled during the injection of 236 gallons of sodium hypochlorite to the unit one condenser. The maximum free and total chlorine levels detected were 1.0 ppm. On April 21, 1973, the unit one hypochlorite injection system was taken out of service until May 8,1973, for a planned spring outage.

Throughout this reporting period the system was operated three times a day with the flow manually set at 10 gallons per minute. During the April outage, both unit one and unit Jg two condenser tubes were cleaned. An attempt is now being

-No taken to determine a minimum injection rate required to maintain tubo cleanliness based on river demand and unit, g performance data.- , f ,, (,5 0
