May 13, 1988 Docket Hos. 50-338 and 50-339 LICENSEE: Virginia L.ectric and Power Company (VEPC0)

FACILITY: North Anna Power Station, Units No. 1 & No. 2 (hA-1&2)

SUBJECT:

SLEMARY OF MEETING WITH VEPC0 HELD ON APRIL 8,1988 REGARDING VERY LOW-LEVEL RADI0 ACTIVE CONCENTRATIONS OBSERVED IN THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM USED TO GENERATE MAKEUP WATER AT NA-182 A meeting was held in Rockville, Maryland on April 8,1988 with representatives of VEPCO, Arrowhead Industrial Water, Incorporated (AIWI) and the NRC to discuss the subject as noted above.

An attendance list is proviaed in Enclosure 1.

INTRODUCTION:

VEPC0 currently makes use of a reverse osmosis (RO) system to generate makeup water at NA-1&2. The R0 system is owned and operated by AlW1. Due to the total organic carbon and colloidal silica in Lake Anna water, purification and makeup is necessary to provide high quality water for use at NA-1&2.

DISCUSSION:

The R0 system (see Enclosure 2) makes use of a polymer which is added to water taken from Lake Anna and processed through a sand filter, cation bed, anion bed, activated carbon bed, and a mixed bed prior to reaching the R0 membrane.

Approximately 1.4 million gallons of Lake Anna water can be processed every three days before resins must be removed offsite in mobile trailers and regenerated by AIWI. A recent radioactive isotopic analysis by VEPC0 of samples obtained from thg4catigg and gxed beds gdicated very low-level radioactive conyentrations fog i

i Hn

, Co

, Sb

, and Cs ranging from approximately 1.00 x 10 to 8.0 x 10-microcuries per milliliter.

The values, as analyzed, are provided in Enclosure 2.

The location of the RO system falls within the definition of an UNRESTRICTED AREA as specified in the NA-182 Technical Specifications 3.4.11.

The RO system is within the site boundary, but in an unrestricted area used for industrial purposes.

In addition, the R0 systems processes water, which is being taken f rom an unrestricted area, Lake Anna, which is not licensed material.

. CONCLUSION:

The staff notes that the R0 system is located in an unrestricted area of NA-1&2 and is owned and operated by AIWI. Also, the AIWI R0 system processes water located in an unrestricted area.

In addition, the probable source of the very J

low-level radioactive material is NA-1&2 effluents released to unrestricted areas in accordance with 10 CFR 20.106 and NRC regulations do not require water processors, such as AIWI, to obtain a license for their waste products. Accordingly, the resins used in the AIWI R0 system do not require a NRC license.
