General Electric Company l ATTN: Mr. T. Preston Winslow, Manager '

Licensing and Nuclear Materials Management, M/C J88 P.O. Box 780 .

Wilmington, North Carolina 28402 Gentlemen:

i We have reviewed your September 9, 1992, transmittal regarding the GE-Wilmington remedial action plan for the uranium ~

contamination beneath the fuel processing building and have the-following comments..

1 Since there are no groundwater--monitoring; wells near the source of contamination, the horizontal collection-system should be continuously used to remove the contaminated groundwater. The

, groundwater from the collectionLsystemLshould be. tested for uranium concentrations to establish any trends. In addition, all the. existing groundwater monitoring wells should continue'to be sampled and tested on a regular frequency of at-least once every six (6) months. The trend of the uranium conc ~ntrations'should be carefully monitored in all the wells, especially the wells nearest the source, namely, Well FX-2AU and Well FX-BAU.

GE needs to ensure that actions-will be-taken before ,

contamination spreads to the principal aquifer and extensively.

into the surficial aquifer. GE's strategy should be oriented to minimizing' future decommissioning problems. If the trend shows a substantial increase in the concentration levels in the principal-

, and surficial aquifers, then appropriate action should be taken to remediate the contamination.
