Docket: 50-267 Public Service Company of Colorado ATTN: 0. R. Lee, Vice President-Electric Production P. O. Box 840 Denver, Colorado 80201

Dear Mr. Lee:

We have reviewed your June 17,1985 (P-85212), response to our March 11, 1985, request for resolution of our concerns over Beta radiation in liquid effluents. We understand that you are committed to:

1. Perform releases from the Reactor Building sump by a batch method, whereby the sump contents will be sampled and analyzed prior to consnencing a release and at 24-hour intervals during the release (we recognized that some addition to the sump may occur during the release period);and

2. Continue the investigation into installing in-line, Beta-sensitive, effluent monitors.

We find these comitments to be an acceptable, interim resolution of our concerns and will include them in the listing of comitments that will be confirmed in connection with our authorization of plant restart.

If you have any questions on this subject, please contact the NRC Project Manager.

Sincerely, Orignal 513nd y G.1.. Cortds*
