(JCM) WRS Radwaste Tank Contents 6 ACRS Jersey Central Power and Light Company letter dated Decomber 22. 1971 describes the dif ficulties experienced in maintainitig the total radioactivity in the outside radwaste tanks at Oyster Creek below 0.7 curies. The difficulties are traced to equipment breakdowns and g to the higher through-put required to cossply with *as low as prac-ticable." A Technical Specification change will be requested and I additional treatment capacity is king considered. t J Jersey Central Power and Limht_Comoany letter dated December 22. 1971 forwards proposed change No.10 to the Technical Specifications. Change No.10 would permit storage of additional radioactive liquid wastes on site. This will be done by increasing the neount of activity stored in the outside tanks frosa 0.7 curies to 10 euries l with a requirement to recycle until down to 5 curies. No ACRS action is recomenended. The enclosed uitterial should be retained until the Regulatory 8taff action on the request is completed. (JCN)

downstream of both of the main steam isolation valves. The cause of the fatture is believed to have been excessive vent line motica as a result of a pipe hanger not being connected.
