Dear Mr. Grier:

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) has previously discussed with you the discharge via DSN 001B-9 of certain wastewaters due to maintenance activities associated with the heat exchangers at Unit 2 (References 1 and 2). These activities

[0 include draining of seawater (i.e., sen/ ice water) from the "B" Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW) heat exchanger inlet pipe, the seawater side of the "C" RBCCW heat exchanger, the seawater side of the "B" Unit 2 emergency diesel generator, and high pressure washing using either demineralized or domestic water (hydrotazing). Due to some or all of these maintenance activities, the normal pathway (DSN 0018-5) could not be used and these wastewaters were directed to the RBCCW g.%3 sump and discharged from DSN 0018-9. Consistent with our past approach for these types of activities, the titration method was used for analysis of hydrazine. At the time of discharge, hydrazine was not detected (<0.350 ppb).

NNECO has previously (Reference 2) provided written notification of a discharge from the Unit 2 RBCCW sump (DSN 001B-9) which occurred on February 18,1997. The following provides information with respect to each additional discharge occurring after February 18,1997 as a result of these continuing activities:

During each of the above discharges, a minimum of at least two condenser circulating pumps were in operation and the maximum daily flow did not exceed 30,000 gallons per day.
