" Proposed Change No. 131"
Subject:
Clarification of Proposed Change to the Vermont Yankee Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS)
Dear Sir:
By letter dated January 24, 1986 [ Reference (b)], Vermont Yankee submitted a proposed Technical Specification change to the RETS. The purpose of this letter is to respond to the NRC Staff's verbal request of April 29, 1986 for clarification of the subject amendment request. Specifically, clarification was requested concerning the intent of Table 3.9.3 relating to the radioiodine and particulates airborne sample locations.
In Table 3.9.3 (Page 169) of the subject proposed change, Vermont Yankee identified five airborne sample locations: up valley, down valley, the vicinity of two nearby communities, and a control location. Although Vermont Yankee had intended that the locations would be sited within reasonable proximity of the site boundary consistent with their historical locations (i.e., within four miles of the site boundary for the valley locations and within 10 miles of the site boundary for the community locations), the staff was concerned that these locational bounds were not specified in the proposed change to Table 3.9.3.
In order to prevent any future confusion in this regard, attached please find a copy of Technical Specification Page 169 which has been revised to specifically identify the sampling location boundaries intended in Table 3.9.3.
We believe that this clarification adequately addresses the 8605200082 860513 PDR ADOCK 0500 i
