2 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Okay, it's 7:00 o' clock, 3 time to start. Our chairman, Art Morrison, as you can see, 4 is not with us night. He has asked me to convey to the 5 panel particularly that he did call, did tell me he wasn't 6 going to be here, for the record.
7 COMMISSIONER GERUSKY: htat percentage is that?
8 COMMISSIONER ROTH: I would j ust like to 9 briefly go over the agenda tonight for those of you who have 10 not seen it and to get a feel.for how many people will be 11 speaking.
12 Opening Remarks by me, which will be just very 13 minimal. Status Report on Defueling by GPU, NRC Status, 14 Offsite Radiological Monitoring Program, Public Comment.
15 Then a break and then back to discuss Funding 16 for the cleanup. And a topic which could prove to be 17 interesting would be the endpoint of this panel.
18 That would be followed by Public Comment, not 19 on the endpoint, I hope.
20 Just to note, how many people wish to speak 21 tonight, citizens, regular Joe Citizens.
22 One. You are planning to speak, Deborah?
23 That's it.
24 How many are not planning to speak? That's l - V 25 ,more like it.
l ACE PEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
3 s 1 Does anybody else on the panel have anything 2 they wish to say before we get into this?
3 Okay, let's go. The Status Report on Defueling 4 by GPU.
5 MR. STANDERFER: I am Frank Standerfer, 6 director of cleanup for GPU.
7 Tonight I have some updated schedules for the 8 project that I want to present, and then I have a short 9 videotape of some of the work that one of the robots was 10 doing in the basement recently which I would like to show.
11 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: Is this a master 12 schedule?
[D
( ,/ 13 MR. STANDERFER: This is the revised master 14 schedule. This schedule was last issued in April.
I 15 And at that time we said until we had finished l
16 the f our boring samples in July, we would be unable to lay 17 out the defueling sequence until we knew better what we were l- 18 going to do.
g 19 We would be facing previously unknown portions l
l 20 of the core. Of course that was done in July, 21 We have visual evidence of what that looks
( 22 like. The cores are in Idaho at the present time. We are l
23 just a week or two away from the examination of those being l
24 f started. We will get a little more information on that.-
l l
25 Go through the-defueling sequence on the next l
( ACE FEDERAL RE, PORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
4 1 chart. But to go over, we now project ' hat both in-ve:ssel
[}m ' 2 and ex-vessel fuel removal to proceed until middle of-3 December,1987, and be finished.
4 The. f uel shipping line is the only line on here 5 that we still have a note on. This indicates the c;>mpletion 6 of the fuel shipment to the Department of Energy s!.te in 7 Idaho, finishing in the third quarter, '88.
8 Since we just made three shipments, 21 9 canisters, we believe we have to have a little rare 10 experience with the turn around time on that. of course, we 11 still don't know the total number of canisters that would be 12 shipped.
j 13 But this schedule conforms to a total of about 14 280 canisters, the best estimate at this time. I don't 15 think I can put a better number on that for t. bout six 16 months.
17 It does not hold up any other work, it can be 18 done in parallel with other work.
19 The decontamination planning is essentially the 20 same'asweshowedinourpreviousschedulp,withmostofthe 21 work finishing at the end of '87. And 'Q8 is the time when 22 the systems will be capped and put into J ondition for 23 storage.
/ 24 The processed water dispo [ition we just 25 discussed in the last meeting, we have) submitted the l
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washingtoit, D.C. (202) 347-3700
5 1 proposal to the NRC.
2 We expect approval from the NRC next spring, 3 and we expect to implement the beginning of the disposition 4 of that water shortly af ter that approval some time in the 5 mid-summer of '87.
6 We project finishing that in July of '89. The 7 water that is in this fuel pool is the last water which 8 would be disposed of, and they won't be available for 9 disposition until after fuel is shipped. So then there is 10 about a half a million gallons of water that becomes 11 available late in the project.
l 12 And there will be waste management activities 13 throughout the project.
14 And at the completion of the active 15 decontamination and fuel removal activities, still being 2
j 16 projected to the end of the third quarter, '88, there will 17 be quite a bit of waste still to be packaged and shipped l
18 offsite.
l 19 This is low level waste. That-packaging and 20 shipment of low level waste will be completed in September, I
l 21 '89.
l 22 The final line has to do with the condition and 23 disposition of the plant af ter the finishing of this portion 24 of the cleanup. We expect to' submit or issue our plan for i
25 the completion of the cleanup and status of the plant at l
l l ACE PEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
6 s 1 this point in time in November.
2 That will be provided to the NRC and will be 3 provided as a public document.
4 Then there is a series of license changes and 5 ' tech spec changes which will be submitted throughout this 6 period of time.
7 The first block of those deal with the changes 8 th'at occur after the fuel is are removed. At that point in 9 time there should be no longer need for surveillances when 10 the fuel is removed -- (inaudible) decontamination work.
11 The second schedule which I would like to show 12 has to do with defueling.
( 13 (Slide.).
14 MR. .STANDERFER: This is a diagram that EG& G 15 provided us in a meeting earlier this week, the latest kind 16 of version of what exists to go.
17 This actually shows the-condition of the 18 reactor af ter the accident. This loose material here of 19 course is what was removed from the reactor last spring.
20 The hard layer is here on the top of undamaged f uel, bottom 21 f uel elements.
22 This is where the material drained from this
! 23 location into the bottom. This is the material at the l
24 bottom.
25 We showed some video tapes at the last meeting
(
1 -
l i ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
7 1 of the core bore results that -- ten cores through here and O_s 2 down into here.
3 The only- portion of the vessel we have not yet 4 seen is the bottom 8 inches of the reactor vessel. And 5 there is a possibility that there could be some hard 6 material on the bottom that we still have to design some 7 tools to remove.
8 But this material with the exception of a few 9 chunks is soft on top of that. And this is speculation at 10 this point. That is the only thing in the drawings that is 11 speculative.
12 (Slide.)
13 MR. STANDERFER: Going through that, after the 14 core samples were taken we drilled a number of holes in this 15 hard layer and then took the core bore machine off of the 16 def ueling platform and throughout August and the first part 17 of September.
18 We attempted to break up this hard layer and 19 were unsuccessful.
20 Starting next Monday the core bore machine will l
21 be put back on the platf orm, starting next Monday, and we 22 are going to drill about 300 holes in the hard layer.
23 They are four and a half inch diameter holes.
We will drill either with a one inch ligament or half inch f l24 25 ligament between the holes, so it will really be perforated
- ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
8
~
1 with holes with.small ligaments. That will take about a S
2 month to put the machine on, drill the holes and take the 3 machine off.
4 Around the first of November, we expect then to 5 break up the hard layer that remains, remove that-material i
6 over the next three and a half months to the middle of 7 February.
8 That material then would be removing the --
9 (Slide.)
10 MR. STANDERFER: This hard layer here. It 11 consists of about 94,000 pounds of material.
12 At'that point in time we will then begin the
( 13 removal of the partial fuel elements which are under that 14 material here about 95,000 pounds of material. After that 15 we plan to vacuum material f rom the bottom of the vessel to 16 see what is left.
17 After vacuuming that we will then go in here, 18 and we are buying some special cutting equipment that will 19 be available in February for testing. We will use that to 20 cut this material out of here.
21 Then we will go back into the bottom of the 22 vessel and remove what is left based on what tools we need.
I 23 The vacuum system which will be used for the i
[)
24 bottom will be available for testing some time during the 25 middle of this removal of the bottom fuel elements.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
9 o
1 (Slide.)
V 2 MR. STANDPPPER: We will have opened up enough
'3 holes so it can be tested back in this timeframe.
'4 If it works well we may even vacuum a 5 substantial quantity of material out of .that bottom because 6 we want to see what the bottom of the vessel looks like as 7 early as possible.
3 8 So the sequence is to drill holes throughout 9 the month of October, remove the hard layer from the first 10 .to the middle of February, remove partial subassemblies to 11 the middle of June.
12 At. that point in time the fuel from the
( 13 original core region will be removed. What is left to go is 14 the small amount of fuel in the . core support assembly and 15 about 15 tons of material that is in the bottom of the 16 reactor vessel.
17 Finishing defueling in the middle of December
{ 18 of neFt year.
19 I can answer any question the panel has on that 20 schedule bef ore I show the videotape.
21 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Tom.
{ 22 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: How many canisters 23 have you shipped?
24 MR. STANDERFER: We have shipped 21, three 25 shipments.
l J ACE FEDERAL RE!ORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
10 p- 1 . COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: 21. The tech spec
~ '
2 changes you spoke about at the end of your post def ueling 3 plant status.
4 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
5 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: Are you saying then 6 that the tech spec changes that you are anticipating is to 7 take the plant to the surveillance point or --
8 MR. STANDERFER: No. The first series is 9 associated with the fuel being removed. That is about a 10 year before we are done doing work in the plant. And that 11 relates to our ability to start reassigning some of the 12 people who are current operators.
'T 13 Throughout 1988 we will be reassigning a number 14 of personnel to other jobs. At that point in time we don't-15 believe their licenses will be any longer necessary. We 16 won't have to man the control room with as many. people as we 17 currently man.
18 There are a number of surveillances currently l 19 done, particularly with regard to containment and so forth, i
20 which which no longer be required because the fuel will be 21 r emoved.
22 Then there are a whole series of license j 23 changes and tech spec series associated putting the plant i
24 into a storage mode at the end of the aggressive cleanup 1
! 25 work.
I ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
11 1 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: When you make these O. 2 tech spec changes, does that mean you can't go back?
3 MR. STANDERFER: No. We have three sets of 4 tech spec changes before the NRC at the present time. My 5 understanding is that their reviews have been completed, and 6 we will be getting their answers shortly. Those have been 7 with the NRC about a year.
8 Dealt with no longer needing the diesel 9 generators f or emergency power. Dealt.with some of the 10 current requirements on the atmospheric conditions of the 11 control room are no longer required.
12 And also deals with some of the other systems 13 in the plant.
14 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Let me get, maybe be a 15 little more blunt in my question, I guess.
16 If you go for a tech spec change that says you 17 don't need to have reactor operators in the control room.
18 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
19 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: Does that preclude you l
20 two years later saying you want operators back in the 21 control room with new equipment?
22 MR. STANDERFER: No, we woulf have to then step 23 back to replace those requirements on the plant.
24 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: Okay.
25 MR. STANDERFER: We expect the plant after the 1
l
! ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347 3700
12 1 end of the cleanup will still be licensed under Part 50, O 2 'except it won't be an operating type license, it will be a 3 storage type license similar to what other shut down plants 4 have around the country.
5 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: How far do you think 6 your schedule has slipped?
7 MR. STANDERFER: We still project finishing 8 cleanup in the third quarter, '88. So that has not slipped. ,
9 The def ueling we said last fall when we started l 10 def ueling that we thought we would finish by. the end of the 11 second quarter, '87.
12 We now .are saying we .are going to finish the
( 13 end of the fourth quarter, '87.
14 So in -that sense the def ueling has slipped 15 about six months'.
16 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Thank you.
17 MR. STANDERFER: Fred?
18 COMMISSIONER RICE: Yes. Frank, after the 19 proposed defueling status is reached at the end of '89, do 20 we have a clean unit then?
21" MR. STANDERFER: That is at the end of '88.
22 The plan we are going to be submitting to the i 23 NRC next month will describe that in some detail.
24 We had a presentation about this time last year 25 when the panel met in Annapolis, Jack Devine.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Wa shington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
13
-s 1 We also described the condition to the NRC 2 commission last January.
3 What we expect is all the spaces outside of the 4 concrete containment building to be decontaminted and 4
5 restored to essentially a condition of an operating plant.
6 i But within the containment building, the
~
7 basement, which right now has the highest radiation levels, 8 will still have relatively high ~ radiation levels. We may or 9 may not have gotten to that point where it is convenient for 10 men to enter that area.
11- The next two levels, the 305 level, that is 12 essentially ground level, and the 347 level, which is the 13 third level in containment, will be essentially at the 14 radiological conditions as they are right now.
15 The 347 level has a level of around 45 millirem 16 per hour. We do work in that kind of area, although that is 17 higher than what you would want for an operating plant. The i
18 305 level is about 70 millirem per hour.
- '19 So those radiation levels are low enough so 20 activities can be accomplished but high enough such that 21 they are not satisfactory for an operating plant.
l 22 The radioactive material is stabilized in that l
l 23 it's seaped into concrete or it's inside equipment and will f 24 be such that there is no potential for that to be released
, 25 from its current location. There still will be some small l
l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
14
- 1 amount of f uel inside the steel primary reactor system at 7) 2 that time.
3 So outside of the containment building,.the 4 condition will be similar to that of an operating plant.
5 And inside the containment will be there will be radiation 6 levels which range f rom relatively low to very high-rise 7 rise thank you.
8 COMMISSIONER ROTHs Does anybody else have any 9 questions?
10 COMMISSIONER DiNUNNO: Frank, just to press 11 this point a little bit farther, in connection with the last 12 item that is on the agenda, the question of how long should
( 13 this panel exist, there is the feeling that as long as there 14 is anything going on there that has any public safety and 15 health implication, there is some indication of interest in 16 continuing to hold hearings and making that information 17 available to the'public.
18 But I am having some difficulty grasping when
( 19 the cleanup gets to the point where there is no potential 20 because of the way that the stuff is locked up in the l 21 vessel.
l 22 MR. STANDERFER: Yes. My thoughts on that is l
i 23 that until the fuel is removed, there is-still a hazard l 24 associated with potential criticality or the release of L-l 25 fuel. So that's is the end of next year.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
15 1 COMMISSIONER DiNUNNO: We certainly all agree O,-
2 with that, too.
3 MR. STANDERFER: So from the public interest 4 standpoint, that is a significant point in time.
5 But from my point of view, through the point in 6 time that people really understand what our plan is saying 7 that we will be submitting next month with regard to the 8 condition of the plant at the end of the cleanup, I see this 9 panel as a good forum to openly discuss that with the 10 public, because the plant will have radiation levels in the 11 containment, some of which can be rather high.
12 COMMISSIONER DiNUNNO: Thank you.
13 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Gordon.and then Bob and 14 then Neal.
15 MS. ROBB: What is the form of the material in.
16 the basement that is radioactive?
17 MR. STANDERFER: Two isotopes of concern of 18 course are eesium 137 and strontium 90.
19 The unpainted surf aces are the ones that have 20 the principle amounts of radioactivity. Painted surfaces 21 didn't absorb very much.
22 You will see a video tape of some of those 23 painted surfaces here with what we call the bathtub ring.
24 That is a kind of a scum that developed at the 8. foot 25 level.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347 -3700
16
- 1 Well, over . half of the radioactive material has 2 absorbed into a cinder concrete block wall that was around 3 the enclosed stairway.
4 It was there to provided a -- there are two 5 stairways into the basement. One is open and the other was i 6 ~ enclosed by this block wall. That was enere for fire 7 protection pursuance, to provide agress and fire barrier.
8 It was not painted and soaked up strontium and cesium from 9 the water kind of like a sponge would.
10 That wall we expect to shield, if we do the 11 other decontamination to the point where personal access is .
12 allowed to the basement.
13 We expect to bring the basement to a level, to 14 a point where all of the surf ace contamination has been 15 washed off, all of the sediment on the floor has been i 16 removed and the reactor materials are those that are 17 imbedded in the concrete.
18 Right now the general radiation level is around i
19 35 R per hour with radiation levels around the wall up to l5 20 i around 100 R per hour.
21 Our analysis indicates that once the loose 22 material has been washed off and the sediments removed, that 23 material in those walls is fixed, will'not move from its 24 current location, but it does prevent general access to the ;
25 basement by men.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
17 1 We hope to be able to remove surface concrete C 2 with our robots and shield that block wall, if we can 3 accomplish that with the equipment we have.
4 So that is going beyond what we.would have to 5 do just to assure that the materia) is safe from the outside
, 6 environment.
t 7 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Neal.
8 COMMISSIONER WALD: I h av e --
9 MR. STANDERFER: Excuse me, Neal.
10 I might say,.I think it was pointed out by Tom 11 Cochran f rom this panel in earlier discussion with me of 12 what we achieve the point.where the radioactive material' is
( 13 fixed and there is no real potential for it to be dispersed, 14 you start asking questions whether or not it is ALARA, 15 whether.or not it is appropriate to further expose workers l
l 16 to removing this material when it can be allowed to decay in 17 place.
18 COMMISSIONER WALD: I had a question relating-19 to proposed tech spec changes, I don't see any other place j 20 on the agenda where it comes in, so let me ask it here.
21 This relates to_the TMI-2 organization. plan, l
22 revision 13.
23 I wonder if you could make it a little clearer l
l l
f 24 what the proposed manager, radiological controls for TMI-2 r 25 will be doing when the radiological health section and I
t ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
18
,s 1 radiological training section are under the management of
~
2 radiological controls TMI-1.
3 I don't quite understand.what functions are 4 going to be where.
5 MR. STANE9RFER: Yes,- what are you looking at?
6 COMMISSIONER WALD: August 15 th,1986.
MR. STANDERFER: That is the new change when 7
8 Jim Hildebrandt moved to his new position.
9 COMMISSIONER WALD: Yes.
1 10 MR. STANDERFER: I think we discussed it last i
11 time.
12 COMMISSIONER WALD: Memorandum from you to Bill O
(_/ 13 Travers.
14 MR. STANDERFER: Yes. The tech specs have 15 detailed requirements for monitoring and how the plant ,
16 should be operated and how the licenses are administered and 17 that sort of thing, but it has a lot of administrative 18 things right not tech specs.
19 For example, the organization chart. That is 20 what you are looking at.
21 COMMISSIONER WALD: Right.
22 MR. STANDERFER: Every time I change a manager l
23 at that level we have to put in a change to that portion of 24 the tech specs.
25 Now, that is not of the same character as a t

management for control rooms, it's more an implementing. kind 3 of section but it still has to be consistent with the NRC 4 regulations.
5 And we expect about a year bef ore cleanup to 6 start combining some organizations on the island.so that we 7 can phase the proj ect out, 'for example.
8 The radiation control section is -- we have a 9 section for unit 1 and a section for unit 2. They all fall 10 under another vice president, Dick Hewerd. When Jim 11 Hildebrandt moved to his new job, we promoted one of the 12 people reporting to him to the new radiation controls 13 manager.
14 But some of the activities that were under Jim 15 Hildebrandt have been put under the manager of unit 1 16 because he was a more senior manager and could handle that 17 activity.
18 Now, they provide a service to me, rather than 19 me providing a service to unit 1 in that radiological health 20 area.
21 COMMISSIONER WALD: You mentioned the exposure 22 of workers.
23 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
24 COMMISSIONER WALD: That is why I asked about i
25 this at this point.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
20 1 Does this mean that the manager of radiological O 2 controls of TMI-1 will be responsible for sections which 3 deal _with the workers and monitoring their exposure and 4 training them?
5 MR. STANDERFER: No. 'No, the two radiological 6 control managers for unit 1 and unit 2~ direct the monitoring 7 and control of the work in the respective plants.
a 8 , COMMISSIONER WALD: Okay.
9 MR. STANDERFER: There is a common section, 10 though, of radiological health people who do the more 11- general analysis of the radio logic conditions.in the plant,
- 12 that we have one section providing the service ~ f or the
[
( 13 entire island.
14 For example, we have a first aid station manned 15 by nurces and a doctor. That is providing a common service 16 for the entire island.
17 COMMISSIONER GERUSKY: Could you provide the I
~18 panel with an organization chart f or the -- organization and
- 6 19 function chart for the radiological controlled units in i
20 both, to show us how they do co-exist on the island and 21 which --
'. 22 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
23 COMMISSIONER GERUSKY: I think you probably 24 f have it available.
25 MR. STANDERFER: It exists in the two sets of I I 1
t l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
21 1 tech specs.
b 2 In the radiological area the review of how work 3 is to be perf ormed, the actual monitoring of the work by the 4 radiological technicians, the analysis of the day to day 5 work is done independently f or the two units.
6 Hans Baling, for examp]e, who is a PhD
'7 epidemiologist, we only have one on . the island, and he does.
8 lthat service for the island.
9 He used to report to Jim Hildebrandt. He now 10 will report to the manager of unit 1. So some of those 11 services are more -- are common.
12 I.will be glad to do that.
13 COMMISSIONER WALD: Thank you.
14 MR. MAPNIK: Neal, I just want to add, too, 15 that the tech spec change, itself, in the tech specs it 16 specifies what the qualifications of this individual are.
17 The actual request for the tech spec change is changing the 18 title and the qualification requirements remain the same.
19 COMMISSIONER WALD: Yes, most of this is 20 changing in. title. But this one it specifies involves 21 changing of responsibilities. .
- 22 I just wanted to get an idea of how much of the 23 responsibility f or radiation protection in the rather
- 24 unusual activities of TMI-2 are going to be put-together 25 under somebody who is also dealing with a routine operating ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
l:
22 1 power' plant.
V 2 MR. STANDERFER: The answer is none. The
~
3 comnon sections, I deal with those individuals once or twice 4 a year.
5 The sections that still run TMI-2 are the 6 sections that I deal with every day.
7 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Anybody else have 8- questions?
9 I have three. The first one, on August 19th, I 10 guess it was Clark had written to DOE f or the extra 11 allocations.
12 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
O)
(/ 13 COMMISSIONER ROTH: I wonder, have you heard 14 anything back at this point?
15 MR. STANDERFER: I have been dealing with our 16- on-site DOE contact, Willis Young, who has been working with .
I 17 the DOE people.
18 I have requested a meeting with them as soon as 19 they have analyzed our request. I think part of their 20 problem is they don't have regulations in place yet to deal 21 with these kinds of requests.
22 I would expect sometime within the next month 23 they will be prepared to sit down and discuss our requests 24 in some' detail and how it relates to the basic allocation 25 the company has f or its four reactors.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
23
- 1 Then I will have an understanding as to-where O 2 they are coming f rom on that request.
3 COMMISSIONER ROTH: The second question would
~4 be, would it be possible to say ass'ign a percentage- to the 5 amount of def ueling that has been accomplished?
6 In other words, you said, you know, we are six 7 months behind.
8 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
9 COMMISSIONER ROTH: If you could assign a 10 percentage, this percentage is done --
11 MR. STANDERFER: ife have removed 19 percent of 12 the fuel.
( 13 COMMISSIONER ROTH: 19?
14 MR. STANDERFER: 19 percent of the f uel. Not 15 as far ahead as I'd like to be.
16 And we have got almost 81 percent of .the f uel 17 to go in the next 15 months.
18 COMMISSIONER ROTE: And the third question is, 19 I almost wish I had a tape recorder or something because I 20 think I asked this for the last six years.
21 I just heard some things tonight which make me 22 want to question again the future of unit 2. It's almost 23 like wanting to say to you, Frank, well, when are you 24 planning to reactivate it?
25 MR. STANDERFER: Is that your question?
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
24 k.
1 COMMISSIONER ROTE: Either way you answer, you O. 2 are in trouble.
3 MR. STANDERFER: I haven't been here for six 4 years, and my job is to direct the cleanup so I am really ~
5 not involved with that.
6 It's our current expectation is the analysis of 7 the condition of the reactor vessel and some of the other 8 plant equipment can' t be completed until af ter the fuels 9 have been removed, will. probably not be initiated until
- 10. af ter we are out of the plant.
11 So at the end of the cleanup phase, we probably
~
12 will not have made a determination as to the f uture of 'the C) td 13 plant.
14 At the present time we are able to purchase 15 power f rom other utilities that have surpluses. That looks 16 like that will be the case for at least the next ten years,
- 17 so there is no pressure on the company to try to make that 18 decision any earlier than that kind of timef rame.
19 COMMISSIONER'ROTH: Ten years?
20 MR. STANDERFER: Something like that.
21 COMMISSIONER ROTE: Which means the panel will 22 be in existence for ten more years.
23 Thank you, f 24 Anybody else have anything f urther?
25 Yes, John.

,s 1 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: The water problem,
/ )
~
2 is there any possibility of it being held back because of 3 the water problem, visibility?
4 MR. STANDERFER: Oh, visibility. We have a 5 task f orce that was initiated two months ago. We've put a 6 number of people onto the visibility problem.
7 One of my key managers who is going to be 8 designing the systems that will be in the plant for the 9 monitor storage period has been temporarily taken off of 10 that and put on the water clarity problem. We have been 11- getting assistance f rom the DuPont Company and a number of 12 other. experts around the country.
/~T
(,/ 13 That has resulted in some improved pro' cesses to 14 take plugged filter cans and reclaim them and reuse them.
15 We have a new system that adds diatomaceous earth to the 16 water, it's called a body feed system. That hasn' t been as 17 good as we thought it would be.
18 We have sone new deep bed filters we are going 19 to be' testing. We have some chemists working with coagulant 20 materials which tends to coagulate a colloidal iron, which 21 is really the problem. It's not the micro organisms, that 22 just masks the colloidal iron problem.
23 Through those activities, and we also have 24 another activity that will get us some viewing equipment f
25 based on ultrasonic signals rather than light signals, i
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
26 1 similar .to what doctors uce f or examining patient's 2 internals. ,' , >
3 As a result of that work we gave the defuelers 4 pretty good visibility for the last two weeks, and I expect 5 those efforts to be successful in providing the necessary 6 visibility throughout the rest of the project.
1 7 But we haven't solved that visibility problem 8 yet. I don't want to give you that impression.
9 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Just an overall 10- general reaction here, back to the overall schedule.
11 In May, I think I asked you about the slippage 12 in the schedule.
, 13 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
14 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL : How much you thought 15 that would slip on the long haul. , And we now have '89 on 16 our master schedule, where I don't think we ever had that 17 before, at least not that I can remember.
18 MR. . STANDERFER: Here we are trying to describe 19 some of the activities that will be occurring during the 20 first year of storage. And that is some water processing,
.i 21 some waste shipping. So I don' t view those as cleanup i
22 activities.
23 But there will be work going on in the plant in A
24 that first year of storage.
{) l 25 COMMISSIONER FMITHG ALL: My question in May ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
v 27 o
)f when I asked the question about schedule slippage, you said
( 2 any guess now is a dream. I_ would like to know if that.
l 3
3 dream has become a little more reality.
4 MR. STANDERFER: I don't remember using those 5 aords, but until --
6 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Honest to God,'I wrote 7 it down.
8 MR. STANDERFER: Until.we have the results of 9 the core bore examination in July, we had large portions of
, 10 the reactor vessel which we just didn't know what they 11 looked like.
12 And so we said at that time we needed that 13 inf ormation to schedule the rest of the f ueling.
14 If the entire bottom of the core was all hard i
15 material, previously melted material, that would have
, 16 indicated it's going to be harder to defuel.
17 If the material right not bottom of the vessel 18 in the center was hard rather than sof t, then that would be 19 a. harder defueling problem.
! 20 If the core support assembly was f ull of 21 material rather than relatively empty, that would have been l
22 a harder defueling problem.
- 23 So other than the difficulty in getting this
[) 24 hard layer broken up, all of the other results indicate U
25 def ueling will be easier than it could have 'been.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
28 1 -And so I guess.my comments at that time dealt O 2 with -the fact that we didn't know what some of those areas 3 looked-like.
4 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Thank you.
5 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Do you-have that video?
6 MR. STANDERFER: I have a brief videotape.
7 - What you will see here is a Rover, .we have two Rover robots, 8 and then we have a larger robot called Workhorse, which I 9 will have to bring some tapes in for you to see.
10 But Rover here is.using a 6,000 psi water. spray 11 to wash down the walls in one area, and also some of the 12 structural steel.
13 I think it's indicative of the kind of. work we 14 plan to do in the basement over the next six months.
15 Sometimes we lose sight of .the fact there is 16 other werk going on in the facility other than just 17 defueling.
18 COMMISSIONER RICE: Frank, is there any event 19 that could happen that could cause danger to, first, the l 8 20 staff or to the people surrounding the unit while you are in L
21 your process? l 22 MR. STANDERFER: All of our saf ety analyses 23 indicate that there is no real likelihood of major hazard to 24 staff or to the environment outside of containment other 25 than the possibility of having an accidental criticality, ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
4 s 29
.,- 1 which we have analyzed thoroughly, and I think as a result
(/ 2 of comments by this panel and the NRC, the ACRS panel 3 reviewed last January and February, and so most experts are 4 convinced that that criticality possibility -- in fact, 5 Gordon Robinson f rom this panel looked at that, I guess with 6 Joe DiNunno.
7 Past that, then, it's just dealing with highly 8 radioactive spaces. And individuals who to that work can 9 result in an overexposure, but it wouldn't result in a 10 hazard to a large group of people.
11 COMMISSIONER RICE: Thank you.
12 (Film)
(G
,/ 13 MR, STANDERFER: That is the floor there. You 14 see the umbilical cord on the floor from the robot.
15 (Pause.)
16 MR. ' STANDERFER: Those two Rover robots and the 17 o rkhorse robot will be removing sediment and washing down W'
18 walls over the next six months.
19 That work should be finished in March, and we 20 will be prepared at that time to start removing the surf ace 21 of concrete . areas to remove radioactive materials that are 22 seaped into the concrete.
23 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Are there any questions?
24 COMMISSIONER TRUNK: What water is used to 25 flush that?
i ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
30 1 MR. STANDERFER: That is the f amous accident
- /,]
v 2 water, processed water, which is recycled to perform that
- 3. t.ask.
4 MS. ROBB: Where does the sludge end up 5 eventually?
6- MR. STANDERFER: The sludge is pumped both f rom 7 aux' building areas, which desludging is about to begin, and 8 from the basement is pumped to a tank which was put into the 9 system as part of t'he purification system that contained 10 spent resins, It's a conical tank.
~
11 We are going to pump the sludge to that tank 12 that has been refitted for this service. It will be then
( 13 allowed to settle out in this tank. The water decanted off 14 and reused.
15 Then the sludge is pumped to an area where it 16 is mixed with concrete, put in high integrity containers and 17 then shipped to the burial ground at Idaho.
18 We have a contractor who actually does the 19 concreting and the solidification in liners.
20 So again, it's scooped up, pumped to a settling 21 tank, allowed to settle. And then as a fixed slurry, mixed 22- with concrete and put in waste containers for shipment.
23 COMMISSIONER GERUSKY: Where is this settling 24 tank located?
25 MR. STANDERFER: It's in the aux' building, the ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
31
. 1 lower floor of the auxiliary building and again, was'part of-1 '( 2 the original plant..
3 That is where spent resins were to be' flushed

6 specially f or it.

10 Next, the NRC status report, Bill Travers.
11 MR. TRAVERS: For the record, I am Bill 12 Travers, director of NRC's TMI-2 cleanup office.
l 13 I thought I would begin my update of the number j 14 of items with one that has been very much on the minds of 1
15 the panel. I have got the bruises . to show f or it, I think.
16 It's the fact that NRC has issued a notice of 17 violation and proposed civil penalty dealing with the polar 18 crane enforcement action that the commission has been 19 studying for some time.
20 We have sent you a copy. Basically, the 21 proposed civil penalty involves a $40,000 fine, severity 22 level 3 violation.
23 Maybe I can answer some questions if you have 24 any on that score.
f 25 I understand that while the NRC hasn't I
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
32
,,_ 1 received any official word on .whether the company plans to
~
2 pay it, I understand they do, they have announced that in 3 .the press.
4 COMMISSIONER ROTH: That is from an official 5 source, that they are going to pay?
6 MR. TRAVERS: I read it in the paper.
7 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Is there an official source 8 here this evening who would wish to comment on that?-
9 MR. STANDERFER: I might say, Joel, I have 10 signed the requisition for the check. We will answer the 11 NRC notice of violation. We may not agree with all of the 12 comments they make, but that will be accompanied by the 13 check.
14 COMMISSIONER LUETZ ELSCHWAE : As I read the 15 letter, the fine was because they made some tech spec 9
16 changes and didn' t notify NRC, which is against the rules.
17 The question I have, did the change they make 18 have any saf ety implications, would it make it less saf e, i
19 more saf e, or did it make any diff erence really in the long 20 'run?
21 MR. TRAVERS : The violation really involved the 22 addition of a mechanism to the polar crane.
23 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: Yes. The question i 24 is, was that addition something that made it more safe, less 25 safe or made no difference?
l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
33 i
1 MR. TRAVERS: It made it less safe. The O 2 addition of the hand release mechanism, designed as it was, 3 rendered one of two redundant brakes inoperable at the time.
I 4 Given the design was also installed on the other brake, 5 might have rendered that inoperable ac well.
6 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: Okay, thank you.
7 COMMISSIONER ROTE: Go ahead.
8 MR. TRAVERS : In the matter of the Parks 9 harassment hearing, you will recall that there is a proposed 10 civil penalty of $64,000 on that item. GPU has requested a 11 hearing. That request has been granted.
4 12 Prior to holding a hearing, however, a record
( 13 is being' established.
14 I understand that the NRC has recently 15 responded to interrogatories or questions that the company ,
16 has put forth regarding all of NRC's activities to evaluate 17 whether'or not Mr. Parks was harassed and whether or not, 18 accordingly, the civil penalty is justified.
19 There is still no established date to hold that 20 hearing, but ~ the evidentiary process continues and a record 21 is being compiled prior to holding it.
22 COMMISSIONER ROTH: I think last meeting, Bill, 23 I stand to be corrected, but wasn't there talk of it perhaps 24 starting sometime next year, middle of next year, af ter all 25 the pretrial hearings and prehearings were held?
d ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
34 1- MR. TRAVERS: Yes, there was some talk about (3'
2 it. But I think every time I have been asked, given the 3 history of it and given the complexity of it, I am 4 singularly unwilling to speculate on just when that hearing 5 might occur.
6 Again, I am not directly involved in that 7 issue.
8 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: The discovery period I 9 think is due to be completed February of '87, according to 10 the administrative law judge, a document that Mike Masnik l 11 sent me.
12 COMMISSIONER ROTH: For the record.
f
(- 13 COMMISSIONER SMITHGALL: For the record.
14 MR. TRAVERS: We asked Art Morrison if the 15 record copies, the panel would be interested in getting. He l 16 indicated yes.
L 17 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: That is good. It i
(
! 18 gives us a timef rame.
19 MR. TRAVERS: By way of announcements, I ought 20 to mention that a new commissioner has been appointed. His 21 name is Kenneth Carr, a retired admiral in the Nuclear Navy 22 Association. He fills the appointment that was lef t vacant 23 when Chairman Paladino retired.
[) 24 That is all I have by way of status items. I
(_/
25 would be glad to answer any questions you all might have on ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS,.INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
l 35 1 what we are up to these days.
73 2 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Any questions?
3 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL : What is staff's 4 feeling about the schedule that is now being proposed here?
5 MR. TRAVERS: Contrary to the way Frank 6 characteriz~ed the change, I believe the change is a 7 three-month change as opposed to a six-month change.
8 That change is focused on dates that were 9 targeted f or completing the def ueling processes both in the 10 vessel and ex-vessel, I think the way I have always been 11 asked the question'is, has in NRC staff's opinion GPU been 12 making reasonable efforts to carry on the job, not O
N,/ 13 technically have they made some wrong turns or have they had 14 problems along the way. And I will answer that, in my view 15 they have been making very diligent eff orts to carry on the 16 cleanup, and it's something that we continue to monitor in 17 real time.
18 So the delay, any delay is unfortunate. And 19 certainly the commissions' hope and one of the reasons I 1
20 have been put on the site is to f acilitate the cleanup 21 process.
22 But has that slip or change in schedule 23 resulted from some lack of diligence on the part of GPU, I f 24 don' t think so.
25 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Thank you.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
36' 1 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Just a follow up-on that,
'O. 2 Bill.
3 Since Frank, in answering the question of mine, 4 assessed that 19 percent, say, accomplished at this point,-
5- using that as a percentage point, would you consider, well, 6 would you consider that critical at this point? That that 7 has been accomplished.
8 ' You, would you have liked to have seen what 9 percentage at this point, in your opinion, would you have
-10 liked to have seen?
10-11 MR. TRAVERS: I would like to have seen a.
12 hundred percent.
.( 13 COMMISSIONER ROTH:- I shouldn't have asked
~ 14 that. I am sorry.
15 PE. TRAVERS: I think frankly there is room 16 even on this current schedule, and it's something that we l 17 have tried to point out as we have gone along. 1 'think GPU 18 has, as well.
19 But when I look at it, I see possibility, given-20 the uncertanties that they still must face in the cleanup i.
1 21 ' process, that the thing could stretch out even longer.
I
{

6 Since we are on water processing, maybe I ought 7 to update you on one other thing. I have received two 8 letters from groups that were represented last time at the 9 panels meeting, S D A and -TMI Alert were represented here 10 last time.
11 Basically, the requests I have in writing are 12 that the NRC staff f ormally update its programmatic
( 13 environmental impact statement to focus on the water 14 disposition issue and that the NRC hold hearings.
15 I intend to respond in writing to those 16 requests. I thought I would mention them, and I would also 17 tell you what I am going to say in those letters.
18 Basically, what I am going to say is, I said 19 last time, is that we fully intend to update our 20 programmatic environmental impact statement on focus on that 21 issue.
22 Secondly, however, hearings, and some people 23 have different ideas of what hearings are, but formal
[)
%.)
24 hearings are not normally associated with generation of an 25 environmental impact statement.

39 1 I expect we will have public interaction in 2 meetings such as yours. We may have a special meeting, if 3 the interest is high enough.
4 We will also request written comments on our 5 environmental impact statement and afford the public an 6 opportunity to comment and to have their comments responded 7 to.
8 I am in the process of responding to those 9 letters, and I thought you might be interested in that.
- 10. COMMISSIONER ROTH: Could you send us a copy?
11 MR. TRAVERS: Sure.
12 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Fred?
O t,_,/ 13 COMMISSIONER RICE: Yes. At our NRC meeting in 14 Wa shington, June 1, the question was asked about 15 decommissioning.
16 Has there been any more consideration given to 17 that? Tr av ers.
18 MR. TRAVERS: I think the answer is there is 19 always consideration. GPU~is better able to speak to it 20 than I, right now.
21 But is there any formal interaction within NRC 22 on the decision to decommission that plant? No, there 23 hasn't been.
24 Thank' you.
f COMMISSIONER RICE:
25 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: I got, maybe an answer ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D. C. (202) 347-3700
40 1 to your question, I got that the, which is now being called O~~' 2 post-def ueling plant status, which bef ore was called interim 3 monitored storage, which before that was called 4 decommissioning, I understand that plan was, from Frank's 5 presentation, to be presented to the NRC in November.
6 Is that correct? Am I right on that?
7 MR. TRAVERS: Yes.
8 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: So that is to go out.
i 9 They are going to make that proposal like they made the i
10 proposal about the processed water in November. That is 11 that last line on the chart he gave us.
'12 COMMISSIONER RICE: Okay.
( 13 MR. TRAVERS: But there is' a diff erence, and 11 14 the difference between what -- I understand that proposal is 15 and what I am expecting it to be in decommissioning, is that 16 decommissioning, pe r se , isn't going to be an item that is i
17 addressed in that submittal.

4 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Would you answer the 5 question, please?
6 DR. KIRK: Probably. Probably. You asked for a 7 song and dance -- or a stand up comic show at the beginning, 8 I decided, after your opening comments, I would be hard put 9 to try to top them.
10 The funniest things I have seen lately are the 11 stute of the federal budget and the accident reports one of 12 my people filed when he dodged a deer and hit a tree out
[ 13 collecting samples a couple weeks ago, and'a large black 14 bear that chased Tom --
15 (Laughter.)
16 COMMISSIONER SMITHG ALL: Poor guy.
17 DR. KIRK: Well, never mind.
18 (Slide.)
19 DR. KIRK: Six months ago someone on this 20 committee decided it was time to revisit radiation 21 monitoring around Three Mile Island.
22 (Slide.)
23 DR. KIRK: Since that time the agencies 24 participating in the monitoring program have reviewed the i
25 entire program. i ACE PEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D. C. (202) 347-3700
42 1 The summary of it that we put out in 1984 which O 2 you reviewed in some detail.. We went through it and made 3' changes, addi,tions, corrections, deletions and so'forth and 4 came up with another f reeze f rame of the state of monitoring 5 at Three Mile Island.
6 One way or another it's going to hit print in 7 the next three months or so.
8 The second thing I have tonight, after we get 9 done with this, is a generic phase out plan of EPAs 10 activities at Three Mile Island tied to the famous master 11 schedule which has changed once since I got it to write this 12 document.
13 I have a set of slides that I have tried to 14 compare 1984.versus 1986, different parts of monitoring.
15 There have been no changes in the pressurized ion system 16 monitoring of the Riter Stoakes system for measuring ambient 17 gamma.
18 TLD's have gone up and down in various 19 progr ams. Basically, there are a few more sites total.
20 Considerably fewer readings.
21 This is generally, has generally come about by 22 lengthening monitoring time, which gives you better 23 sensitivity and better accuracy on the readings that you do 24 take.
25 And there has been a reduction in some cases of ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
43 l I
l 1 places where maybe three sets of TLD's were hung in one 2 location, there are now only two, caused a reduction in the 3 total number of TLD's that are out there.
4 When I was doing that, each TLD, each reading 5 is one. So some places you may have as many as nine 6 readings in one month or one quarter, one reading period, 7 whatever.
8 (Slide.)
9 DR. KIRK: Air sampling, there has been very 10 little change of that, actually.
11 Primary change of interest I think is that GPU 12 has added plutonium and uranium particulate sampling in air
() 13 to their monitoring program.
14 This is in addition to the two we started doing 15 back in 1982, hooked onto the EPA's environmental 16 radioactive ambient monitoring system.
17 Radio iodine has remained the same. Krypton, 18 for a number of reaaons, both of us have decided that it is 19 no longer a worthwhile procedure to monitor for krypton.
20 This is for, as I said, several reasons.
I 21 The reactor vessel has been open to the 22 atmosphere for several years now. There has not been 23 detectable krypton come out ein that period of time even as 24 far as stack monitoring. The last two to three years have 25 been totally negative.
ACE PEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
44 1
1 The knowledge of the' core conditions has
() 2 increased during this period of time, and every bit of i 3 knowledge that has come in has made it more improbable that i 4 there is 'a possibility of a reservoir of gaseous krypton in 5 there someplace that could be tapped and released.
6 Probably the culmination of this was the core 12
! 7 boring exercise when they put 40 holes down through the
- 8. depth of this core and did not get any release of krypton at 9 all, even with the monitor hanging directly above the core.
i 10 The only time in which the type of krypton i 11. monitoring that we are doing is really usef ul is when you 12 are dealing with an old mixture where all the short lived
( 13 kryptons and zenons have. decayed away, and we go through 14 this cryogenic separation to get out the beta emitting 15 krypton to put it into a count in geometry where we can get 16 decent sensitivity by putting it into a liquid scintilation j 17 cocktail and counting the waves, rather than trying to count 18 the gamma radiation.
4 19 If you are dealing with a mixture of noble 4 20 gasses, you have better sensitivity j ust measuring the gamma 21 coming off the cloud and not try to sort out how much is due l 22 to which short lived noble gas that may be there.
j 23 For these reasons we are proposing to stop 24 monitoring for krypton in the fourth quarter this year. The f(
25 utility is planning on withdrawing theirs at some point or f

- 1 proposing to the NRC to do it. I don't know the exact V 2 status of that.
3 Tritium is the same status as it was two years 4 ago. Because of the proposals on how the accident water 4
5 will be taken care of, GPU is in the process of tooling up 6 to start doing tritium in air sampling.
7 We have been doing five locations for several 8 years now. As soon as they get their apparatus and 9 equipment in, they will start doing it.
10 I haven't the details of how many locations or 11 sampling f requency.
12 (Slide.)
13 DR. KIRK: Water sampling, there has net been 14 very many changes. One of the, I think the effluent water 15 monitor GPU changed from every two weeks to once a week as I 16 understand it.
17 We have added in a few things that weren' t 18 counted when we looked at this before. The two i
l 19 precipitation samples that pertained to Three Mile Island
! 20 are taken as part of the ERAMS program.
) 21 Drinking water wasn't listed separately before 22 and came up in the listings this time. EPA is doing a 23 couple with ERAMS system, GPU is doing six drinking water f 24 locations.
j 25 Well waters have been pretty well demonstrated ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
46 1 again to-be something that was useful at the time. They 2 were put into operation in the spring o'f '81 following the 3 leak from the borated water storage tank that put tritium 4 and other isotopes into the ground-water at the island.
5 There was a great deal of public concern that 6 it might get off island into the wells on both sides of the 7 river.
8 GPU and EPA both were doing well monitoring in 9 several locations. There have been no indications of
. 10 anything coming out. So EPA is going to drop those five 4
11 wells.
12 GPU, as I understand it, is gong to continue
( 13 with the one at the observation center and the one at 14 Goldsborough.
15 (Slide.)
16 DR. KIRK: There really have been no changes 17 that I was able to detect in reviewing the ~ program in the 18 aquatic.
19 (Slide.)
i 20 DR. KIRK: And the miscellaneous, the main 21 change was one additional milk sample being taken and a f
22 change of f requency in the milk samples.
4 23 These are being taken every two weeks, which 24 f exceeds, as far as the utility is concerned, exceeds the 25 tech spec requirements. The state has taken monthly at two 1
{ ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
47 1 locations.
O' 2 (Slide.)
DR. KIRK:
3 This is what -- I call this a generic 4 phase out schedule because it depends on two things. When 5 will the def ueling be accomplished and when will the f uel 6 leave the island.
7 Most of the things on there will either 8 terminate or be turned over to Pennsylvania Department of 9 Environmental Resources at one point or the the other.
10 The sentry system is planned to be turned over 11 to DER at the time the fuel is shipped f rom the island.
12 Thermoluminescent dosimeters, EPA's 1 13 contribution would be terminated. There are more than a 14 sufficiency of TLD's out there that 34 more don't really 15 contribute a whole lot.
16 Low volume particulates and radio iodine would i
j 17 be terminated at the time the in-vessel defueling was 11 8 accomplished and all the fuel debris canned up in cans.
19- High volume sampler, the one EPA used for 13 20 plutonium and uranium analysis, would be turned over to the 21 state at such time as the shipment is finished, or the f uel 22 shipment is completed.
23 The state has added two or three new high volume samplers since the 1984 program was written, and f 24 25 there is I think a good possibility that these two samplers I _
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
48 1 might take the place of two of the samplers the state is now O,
2 operating so the two are killed with one sampler.
3 Krypton, we we have talked about terminating 4 this fall.
5 I was reading the wrong one. Tritium in air 6 would be turned over to the state again at such time as the 7 fuel is shipped or at such time -- it would be terminated 8 whenever the accident water is disposed of.
9 The uncertainty of where that comes in the 10 overall schedule, I could see end points sliding by one 11 another so the fuel might be shipped after the water was 12 disposed of, in which case it would be turned off before we
( 13 lef t, if the water is still being used when EPA phased out, 14 then the DER would get the thing until that time.
15 The water monitoring program EPA conducts is 16 primarily in cooperation with DER now. We collect the 17 samples and do gamma cceptroscopy on the samples and 18 strontium 90 on the deposits.
19 The state does gross alpha analyses and tritium 20 analyses so we are running a cooperative program now. Those 21 parts EPA is responsible for at the intake and outfall and 22 at the Lancaster waterworks would be turned over to DER.
23 The Lancaster situation would be worked out 24 between DER and the City of Lancaster. I would anticipate 25 it would be probably changed, like most of the other water i
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
49 i
1 network samples the state takes.
4 O 2 There will be added to the write-up that I 3 passed out to you earlier a section on transition between -
4 EPA and DER that will be written by Tom Geruski and I, 5 jointly, the transition to begin at the endpoint that I have 6 in my chart here. And proba.bly there will be a period of 7 weeks to several monthe for them to take over particular 8 functions.
9 We would like any comments the panel would have 10 on the rewrite of the program.
11 Anybody else that would like to submit 12 comments, there are a number of copies of the revised b
( 13 program on one of the front seats up there, anything I get 14 by the end of the month, I will try to either accommodate or 15 answer, in the process of writing up the final version.
3 16 I guess I will now answer your questions.
17 COMMISSIONER MILLER: When you say you cannot 18 conceive of any pockets of ' krypton remaining, are you taking j 19 into account all the plumbing outside the reactor vessel, as 20 well?
l 21 DR. KIRK: Yes. That's been for, oh, perhaps
! 22 six months after the containment purge there was still l 23 gradual release of krypton from various places in the f 24 containment.
25 That has dropped over over a period of as I ACE PEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
h0 1 recall six months to a year until it was no longer
( 2 detectable even by perhaps two years af ter it's down to the 3 point we would have a hard time determining it with -
4 separation.
5 If there are any other potential pockets in 6 there, I am not aware of it. I have discussed it some 51 th 7 the NRC and DOE, primarily. ,
8 COMMISSIONER MILLER: I was thinking in terms 9 of perhaps plumbing loops that may contain just air or gas, 10 the water being lower than the loop because of the level of 11 the water in the reactor vessel.
12 DR. KIRK: I think in eight years' time the gas
- (_- 13 would dissolve in the water. Krypton is relatively soluble i
14 in water, not highly soluble. You will get movement by 15 diff usion over time in a body of water.
i 16 COMMISSIONER MILLER: Do you know if any 17 monitoring has been done to substantiate that or any venting 18 of loops?
- 19 DR. KIRK
- No. One of the things that we took 20 into account in this, the fact that if a release is less i
21 than some tens of curies and not optimally directed, we have 22 very little possibility of seeing it, anyway. .
23 It takes a fairly sizeable release to go 24
( through that 10 to the 6 plus diff usion and be collected.
25 It's seen, it happens, but --

51 I
1 COMMISSIONER MILLER: Thank you.
O b) 2 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Anything further?
3 MR. STANDERFER: I might mention, Joel, that we 4 have vented all of the high spot systems, so I think there 14 5 is no longer a possibility of pockets of substantial 6 quantity of gas.
7 COMMISSIONER RICE: Bill, three or four months 8 ago I made a governmental study of the monitoring system as 9 to its, from the standpoint of Dauphin County, as te the 10 monitoring system, its capability. You visited with me at i
11 that time.
12 DR. KIRK: Right.
13 COMMISSIONER RICE: I was informed a report was i 14 being completed and it would be forthcoming from
, 15 Philadelphia museum of science. There was a doctor group 16 that was going to have a completed document study. They 17 have been doing it f or two years. They had S600,000 from m
18 the health fund.
19 Have we gotten that report?
20 DR. KIRK: We have not. I think it was 21 $ 87 0,0 00 , but that's picking trivia.
22 (Laughter.)
23 DR. KIRK: What I know on this subject comes 24 under the category of hearsay.
25 I understand that the utility's lawyers and the J

3 I have not seen anything of it, myself. Nor do 4 I have any idea when it will hit the street.
5 COMMISSIONER RICE: All right. Does anyone 6 else know?
7 COMMISSIONER WALD: I think we have a member of 8 the panel who was an advisor.
9 COMMISSIONER MILLER: I am on the advisory 10 panel, but I honestly don't have an answer to your question.
11 .The last word that I got. was f rom the attorneys s
! 12 involved, and they felt that the report would be ready by
( 13 the end of July.
14 The principal investigator now ref~uses to meet 15 with and discuss the study with the advisory committee, so I l 16 honestly have no idea what the status is.
17 COMMISSIONER RICE: Thank you.
18 COMMISSIONER ROTH: I don' t know --
19 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: The iodine i
20 monitoring, which isotope is that?
21 DR. KIRK: Just gaseous iodine. We are looking I
22 for 131, under the circumstances.
l 23 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: According to my 24 calculation you are down to 10 to the minus 8.
25 DR. KIRK: There has been no possibility of ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
53 1 seeing anything f rom unit 2 for a long, long time.
O 2 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: That is what-I 3 would fi'gure.
4 DR. KIRK: We left it there. W'e started to take 5 it out about three years ago. And then we decided to leave 6 it there to see if we actually saw anything f rom the 7 operation of unit 1, which we haven't. It's more curiosity 8 than anything else rise.
9 COMMISSIONER LUETZELSCHWAB: All right.
10 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Thank you, Bill.
11 We will go into public comment now. At the 12 beginning of the meeting there was one person who requested 13 time. Is there anybody else?
- 14 MS. DAVENPORT: Deborah Davenport, concerned 15 Mother's and Women, Camp Hill.
16 I have a question about the end fitting 17 storage. Apparently, that is being done in 55 gallon drums.
18 I have a question in relation to that as far as possibly 19 plutonium fines being in the end fitting.
20 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Who is your question 21 directed to?
22 MS. DAVENPORT: GPU and the NRC, I guess. What 23 I would like to know is, are they doing anything in placing f 24 these end fittings in the drums to keep plutonium fines 25 down?
4 l
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
54 7s 1 And also, what are they doing in the building 2 as a whole to keep plutonium fines down?
3 MR. STANDERFER: Deborah is referring to the 4 end fittings that wouldn't fit in our current canisters that 5 we have not been able to load.
6 We now are removing them and putting them in 7 55-gallon drums which are full of reactor water, so the end 8 fittings will no longer be in the reactor water, they will 9 be in drums full of the reactor water on the floor near 10 where the head is stored.
11 We plan to take those and cut them up and put 12 them back in f uel cans in parallel with the def ueling, so as
/3
(/ 13 to get off the critical path.
14 So there is fuel associated with them, it is 15 stored under reactor water similar to where it is now except 16 it's in a different container, and so its condition is 17 essentially the same.
18 Yes, we continually monitor the air in the 19 containment vessel. We continually cleanup surfaces to 20 prevent the buildup of any material like th t in the work 21 area.
22 MS. DAVENPORT: Are you going to load those 23 under water and cut them up under water?
f f%) 24 Is there any point when they are moved out of
\_J ~
25 the water, in other words?
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D. C. (202) 347-3700
55 1 MR. STANDERFER: We will either cut them up 2 under water or cut them up in a container like a glove box.
3 So they will be contained when they would be being cut.
4 MS. DAVENPORT: I had another question, still 15 5 about the sump under the reactor vessel, I asked at the 6 other meeting.
7 I am so worried about that as far as 8 criticality goes, if there is something down there that has 9 not been measured and you are flushing the building 10 surfaces, I am really questioning how things can go ahead 11 without knowing what is there.
12 MR. STANDERFER: We have put a number of
/'
(-)/ 13 monitors through the instrument channels that go th' rough 14 that area, and all.the way up into the bottom of the reactor 15 vessel.
16 With those instruments, we have seen no I
I 17 evidence that any fuel entered that space.
18 We will not have the ability to finally examine 19 that until af ter the def ueling is done. But we are 20 convinced there is no fuel in that location.
21 And I believe we have convinced the NRC that 22 that's the case.
23 MS. DAVENPORT: When you say no fuel, how are 24 you defining f uel?
f 25 MR. STANDERFER: Fuel that came from the
. l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700 l
56 l
1 reactor. !
O 2 MS. DAVENPORT: Either by --
3 MR. STANDERFER: It would have had to come 4 through a hole in the bottom of the reactor vessel, which we
- 5. have no reason to believe existed.
6 MS. DAVENPORT: There is no other way for 7 materials to wash into this --
8 MR. STANDERFER: Not in that location. There 9 was some position bit the fuel could go out the water f rom 10 the depressurizeer and out the drain tank'and into the 11 floor.
12 That is in a completely different area. While
( 13 there is very small qua'ntities of f uel that went that path, 14 there is no evidence that there is any large qu.antity.
15 MS. DAVENPORT : But when you say it went on the 16 floor, the floor near that. area?
17 MR. STANDERFER: By the drain tank which is on 18 the opposite side of the building f rom the sump.
19 MS. DAVEN PORT: You mean the area under the 20 drain tank, then, it's hard to measure?
21 MR. STANDERFER: No, j ust on the floor. Not 22 enough quantity that it would cause any potential 23 criticality or any problem like that.
24 MS. DAVENPORT:
( Thank you.
25 COMMISSIONER ROTE: Thank you.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
57 1 -There any any other questions?
O 2 MS. DAVIS: Beverly Davis. ,
3 One quick question. I wasn't here for the 4 whole presentation, but does the presentation on the 5 visibility indicate that the hydrogen peroxide has ceased 1
6 being able to kill the beasties in there?
i 7 MR. STANDERFER: Hy drogen peroxi&2 does kill 8 the organic material. From time to time as we_ monitor the i 9 status of the water we see some indication of the beginning 10 of growth- again, and we treat it with hydrogen peroxide. So 11 there doesn't seem to be any question.that that treatment 12 sterilizes the water.
13 The water clarity problems are primarily due to 14 colloidal iron in the system and other small colloidal e 15 materials of silly ton and maybe silver.
16 So now we are able to eliminate the 17 complication from the micro organisms and can address the 18 basic problem of visibility which is very finally divided i
-19 colloidal corrosion products.
20 MS. DAVIS: All right.

- I and the endpoint of the advisory panel, two discussions 2 points.
3 If we could start with funding for the cleanup.
4- I believe Frank had something to say about that af ter the-5 interview.
6' MR. STANDERFER: Excuse me.
7 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Power of the press, right?
8 MR. STANDERFER: With regard to funding status, 9 the project cost estinate that was made in December of 1982 10 and has been updated a couple of times, the last time was in 11 the summer of 1985, continues to project a total cost of the 12 ' proj ect to be about $965 million.
1 pl
\_- 13 We have spent, through August, S694 million.
14 There is $271 million remaining af ter August.: W'e have in 15 that total about S35 million for unforeseen events, or 16 schedule slippages past the current schedule.
17 So I feel at the present time the expenditure 18 rates and the monies lef t can cover the work that is lef t to 19 be done.
20 Did you get those numbers, or did you want me 21 to go through those again?
22 COMMISSIONER ROTH: No. Everybody?

4 That money continues, the last 50 million of 16 5 that money continues in the '89 and 1990, so two years af ter 6 the project the final monies come in from that source.
7 We received $521/2 million so far from the 8 private utilities which means they are S21/2 million ahead 9 of the S50 million that was scheduled to be received in the 10 first two years.
11- Again, it's six years at $25 million a year
~
12 starting in 1985. We received a little over $27~ million in
( 13 1985, and we have received their full contribution for ' 8 6 .-
14 So at the present time they are $21/2 million ahead of 15 schedule in providing those funds.
16 The other funding from the states of 17 Pennsylvania and New Jersey is coming in on schedule. The 18 contribution f rom the Japanese industry of - S3 million a year 19 is being paid on that schedule.
20 In general, I don't see any problem with the 21 flow of those funds.
22 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Questions?
23 No questions.
24 COMMISSIONER TRUNK: Is the insurance money all 25 used up?
l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D. C. (202) 347-3700
60 3 1 MR. STANDERFER: Yes. There was about $306
.]
~
2 million f rom the GPU's insurance companies. I believe all 3 of that had been used before I came in the summer of 1984, 4 and that source.was the funding for work early in the 5 cleanup.
6 Again, of the S965 million, about one-third of 4
7 it has come from our insurance companies, about one-third of 8 it f rom GPU and GPU's customers, and the other third from 9 the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the Department of 10 Energy, the private utilities, the Japanese, the Japanese 11 utilities.
12 Some of those funds primarily from the private g
C/
m 13 . utilities and some of the Japanese money come in one and two 14 years af ter the project is scheduled to be finished.
15 GPU is advancing funds to cover so the schedule 16 can be maintained.
17 COMMISSIONER ROTE: I think that was part of 18 the presentation that, what, Clark made to the NRC 19 commissioners in Washington a couple years ago about that?
20 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
21 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Isn't that the same?
l 22 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
23 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Just to backtrack a second I
[ ,
V) 24 on the fines, again, where does that money, let's say, that 25 $40,000 --
l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
61 1 MR. STANDERFER: Comes out of. company profits.
O 2 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Company profits?
l 3 MR. STANDERFER: Yes, it's not allowed to be 4 phssed on to consumers.
5 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Bill, does the NRC have'any 6 opinions on the funding, the dollars and percentages at this 7 point?
8 MR. TRAVERS: You may recall that we have an 9 office that has been following that, office of the state 10 programs, 11 We have a gentleman with us tonight who has 12 been tracking it. He's told me that we agree with the 13 figures.
14 We basically get our information f rom the 15 company. We are definitely looking to see, as you have in 16 the past, whether or not funding appears to be limiting in f
17 the accomplishment of the cleanup.
18 Currently, it does not appear to be limiting.
19 COMMISSIONER ROTH: That is basically --
20 MR. TRAVERS: We are also looking at things i 21 like the receipt of EEI checks and things of that nature.
l l
22 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Right.
23 MR. TRAVERS: Basically they have been coming 24 in as forecasted.
25 MR. STANDERFER: I might say in 1985, we were i

62 f
1 proceeding at the rate where we needed $2 million that l-)
~'
2 wasn't in the budget, and we got the company to advance $2 3 million from '86 into '85. So the compac.y has cooperated 4 with me with regard to shifting money between years to meet 5 the schedule.
i 6 COMMISSIONER ROTH: All right.
7 COMMISSIONER MARSHALu I have a question.
8 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Yes?
9 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: Of the third which is 10 supplied out of GPU.
11 MR. STANDERFER: Yes.
12 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: How much of that would 13 be from the rate payers and how much from the company?
14 MR. STANDERFER: $249 million.
15 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: Is from the rate 16 payers?
17 MR. STANDERFER: Is f rom the rate payers.
18 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: I see.
19 MR. STANDERPER: $91 million from company 20 sources, f or a total f rom GPU and its customers of $340 21 million.
22 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: Thank you.
23 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Further questions?
24 MR. STANDERFER: Excuse me. Subtract 20 25 million from those numbers, because that total includes the ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
63 i
~ l first two years of storage oof the plant at 10 million a l 2 year.
3 So, let's see. Of that 12 million,12 million i
! 4 of that is funding in 1989 and 1990. So let me give you the 5 numbers again.
t 6 From GPU's customers it is $243 million, and 7 GPU's other sources-is $79 million.
8 That is a total of S--
9 COMMISSIONER' MARSHALL: 322.
10 MR. STANDERFER: 322 from~GPU and its customers 11 through the end of the cleanup.
12 MS. MARSHALL: I see.
/~T
( ,/ 13 MR. STANDERFER: And then my schedule here 17 14 happens to show maintenance funding in the first two years 15 of storage.
16 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: Is that included, then, 17 in the 322?
18 MR..STANDERFER: No.
19 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: That would be added 20 onto that?
I 21 MR. STANDERFER: That is future costs of 22 storing the plant and, of course, those will go on as long 23 as the plant is in storage.
24 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL:
f What will be the annual 25 costs, then, of just having it there in a storage situation?
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
l 64
- 1 MR. STANDERFER: We don't have an exact number
(_ 2 for that, but we budgeted ten million a year.
3 MS. MARSHALL: I see.
4 MR. STANDERFER: Whether or not it will be a 5 little more than that or a little less than that, it depends 6 upon the size of the staff, which we haven't established 7 yet.
8 But it's approximately $10 million a year.
9 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: And that would be from 10 the rate payers, I would think; is that right?
11 MR.'STANDERFER: No.
12 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: No?
13 MR. STANDERFER: That will becoming f rom GPU, 14 itself. I don' t believe the plant would be in the rate base 15 at that time.
16 MS. MARSHALL: I see. Thank you.
17 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Thank you.
18 The next agenda item is.the endpoint of the 19 advisory panel. Just some discussion, perhaps even some l
20 comments f rom the audience would be appreciated.
21 The panel, I believe, was formed back in the 22 fall of 1980. Our first meeting was, I believe, in November 23 or December of 1980. And so next month we would be having q,
24 our. sixth anniversary, going into our seventh year.
25 And at some point we have to decide when is our i

1 value over, so we thought we would at least start broaching
~U 2 the subj ect night.
a.
3 Tom Smithgall had to leave, he was of Sturse
- 4 the one looking in our federal pension program. I think he 5 had to leave to discuss that further.
6 (Laughter.)
7 COMMISSIONER ROTH: But I was wondering, does 8 the panel have any thoughts on the subject, just a little 9 informally. Then we can bounce it off-the public.
10 COMMISSIONER MARSHALL: You mean with regard to 11 the pension?
12 (Laughter.)
13 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Well, I think we voted and 14 accepted the pension. When shall we start collecting on it?
15 Very quiet. I think that perhaps the only 16 reason we put it on the agenda tonight was to at least put 17 it out in the open and say that sooner or later, our .
18 function will probably be over.
i 19 That there are some people who thought that it 1
20 would be a good idea for us to take a vote eventually on
'21 GPU's using the evaporation process.
I 22 We would send a letter to the department energy i
L 23 saying yea or anyway to that, as 2ar as what we thought, and f 124 as far as perhaps even being part of a hearing process, you
.25 know, informal on the water disposition. So those things l
l ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
66
,, 1 are in the offing.
V 2 I Eon't think there are any dates we can i
3 project at this point. It's a very short agenda item, as 4 you can see.
5 So hearing no remarks --
6 MR. MASNIK: Joel.
7 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Yes.
8 MR. MASNIK: A couple remarks.
9 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Sure.
10 MR. MASNIK: One is, when we met with the 11 commission this past summer, they sort of asked us to look 12 into this issue.
13 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Right.
14 MR. MASNIK: I think we have some obligation, 15 probably, to get our thoughts in line bef ore the next time 16 we meet with the commission.
l 17 The current thinking is probably sometime next l
18 spring to meet with the commission. So I think between now 19 and then, you know, we need to resolve a few things.
I 20 Now, Frank mentioned this evening that as far 21 as the saf ety concern, he felt that af ter the f uel was he 22 moved, which would be next December, a year from this 23 December, and certain high it would be my thinking that the 24 panel probably would have some obligation to follow that j 25 reasonably close until that time, f i ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
67
._. 1 The other issue that immediately comes to mind
./ x 0 2 is the post-defueling plant status issue. It's our 3 understanding we will receive something in November which I 4 will get to- the panel immediately.
5 I would think that it would be advisable 6 perhaps to meet in early December to discuss, or to at least 7 receive a presentation'f rom the utility explaining the plan.
8 And then the NRC will conduct a review of that.
9 We have some thoughts as to when that, how long 10 that would take, and it would probably stretch sometime in 11 next summer, although that is certainly tentative.
12 So we have three items and they all seem to be
(~
(_). 13 ending towards the end of next year, which may be something 14 that we can tell the. commission at this point that, you 15 know, this is our current thinksing.
16 COMMISSIONER ROTH: We are tentatively 17 scheduled to meet with the commissioners in January?
18 MR. MASNIK: There is no schedule. That is a 18 19 little too far ahead on the calendar. I was contacted by 20 them to possibly meet next month, but it appeared that we 21 had only had one or two meetings, and a better time to meet 22 would be at the first part of the year after the panel has 23 seen the staff's analysis of the water issue and perhaps 24 f ormed some position on that, which they could communicate f
25 to the Commission directly.
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
68 1
_ 1 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Right. Okay.
v 2 MR. MASEII;: So that if we plan to meetin l 3 January ~on that issue, it would be either the end of January 4 or beginning of February, it would seem reasonable to meet 5 with the commission.
6 As I said, the Commission'doesn't plan really 7 that far in advance. ,
8 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Right. .So it would be a 9 good idea probably to schedule a meeting in early December.
10 What is it, the second Wednesday, first month in --
11 MR. MASNIK: I think we agreed to meet on 12 Wednesdays. The second Wednesday would be'the 10th of 13 December.
14 COMMISSIONER ROTH: December 10th.
15 MR. MASNIK: Perhaps if we can get an update 16 from GPU as to when the submittal from the post-def ueling 17 status report is scheduled for the NRC.
18 COMMISSIONER ROTE: Right.
19 MR. STANDERFER: I don't have an exact date,
! 20 .but around the middle of November, November 15th is --
21 COMMISSIONER ROTE: So we have some time.
22 MR. STANDERFER: You would have it about- a 23 month.
f 24 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Thank you.
l 25 Is there any public comment? We still have f
l l

..s 1 some time and f urther opportunity.
]
2 MS. DAVIS: Beverly Davis.
3 I think two of the factors that probably 'should 4 be considered by the panel in doing this, in trying to 5 discuss whether they should be phased out is the fact that, 6 as I hear it tonight, there are more and more engineering 7 controls being phased out.
8 In addition to that there are more and more EPA 9 and monitoring controls being abandoned, which would seem to 10 me to indicate that in some respects there is more need for 11 public surveillance or public questioning of what is going 12 on and a need to know a great deal more.
13 The second thing which would seem to me that 14 the panel might want to consider .is the f act that according 15 to the original suggestion or plan or whatever, proposal 16 that was made to dispose of the water, that is not due to 17 start for some time, and that was supposed to take two l
18 years.
- 19 That, I think, would cause some public concern I
20 if the advisory panel were to go out of business, if in fact 21 that proposal were accepted as it was presented.
l 22 It would cause some public concern if the panel l
23 were to go out of business before that water was disposed 24 f of.
I 25 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Joe?

- 7. s 1 CO!!MISSIONER DiNUNNO: Supplementing Beverly's
('} 2 comments, as I recall from the meeting that was held in 3 Washington at which this matter was first brought up, 4 several things from reading the record came out that 5 impressed me.
6 One, the Commission, itself, made the point 7 that the determination'of when this panel should go out of 8 existence should be made here in this area. It is a public 9 panel and it is serving this community. The Commission bass 10 was quite open to keeping that as long as it was effective 11 and informing the public..
12 I think that is a very key point to keep in r
13 mind.
14 Secondly, after discussion there, the point was 15 made that that determination should be based upon what 16 activities were continuing here at the site.
~17 So in view of the fact-that it looks like there 18 are a number of activities that are going on for another 19 year at least and perhaps more that are of continuing public
! 20 interest, then we are talking about something that is well 21 beyond a year.
l 22 In that case, this subj ect ought to be kept in l
23 mind, we ought to continue to deliberate on it. There is no 24 pressing need for making a determination of an end date at
(
i 25 this stage of the game.
l '
ACE FEDERAL REPORTERS, INC. Washington, D.C. (202) 347-3700
71 1 I think this idea of looking at the O 2 post-def ueling activities could help us in that 3 deliberation.
4 So I think'we need to keep this on the agenda
'5 of things we consider, but I, for one,. don't feel this is 6 very pressing at this stage.
7 COMMISSIONER ROTE:- Does anybody else have any 8 comments on that? Anybody else f rom the public? No?
9 I have been told that our attendance tonight 10 was absolutely perf ect, minus one, who will remain nameless, 11 the chairman. It might have something to do with his 12 . leadership.
13 I want that_in the record.
14 (Laughter.)
15 COMMISSIONER ROTH: Is there anything else? We 16 can stand adjourned if there is nothing.
17 We are adjourned. That you.

envisu aal radiation survaillance svys as folloup to the March 28, 1979 arv irbmt at the thit II reactor of the three Mile Islard nuclear yu._-rating station1. Before inplementing a fnrmal long-term plan, Septa ter 27, 1979 the Federal agencies followed the general plan outlined in the mite House Menorandum, enrlifying it arv'aminnally as required by the changing conditions at the reactor. 1he U.S. Envisu.-adal Prttactirm Agency has cncedinated the efforts of the involved Federal agencies, the Cbmarwealth of Pennsylvania, and the State of Maryland.
1he pihlir ralamaa of data otth by the Federal agencies involved in the long-tena monitoring sws-u is through the United States Envitu.ce.ntal Protection Agency (EPA). However, data are provided alumitaneously to the other Federal participants and to the Bureau of Radiation Fin +:tir=1 (BRP) of the Pennsylvania Department of Envitus==iUil Resources. (PA-DER) .
In no way does this preclude any agency fran fttifilling its statutory 9%NfM l . .
i obligation.
549 The purposes of the long-tenn environnental radiation survaill.,nce s ws-u include:
(1) providing a measure of the radiological quality of the envirorment in the vicinity of the three Mfle Island nuclear power facility during a period when large quantities of radio-active material are being dealt with during the cleanup of the facility; I
(2) providing a hacia for infonning the public as to the environ-mental levels of raMnactivity; (3) providing an in-place monitoring sv3&au ready for i-ahte use if an arv-irlantal release should occur.

wo isotopes Wilch are less hazardcus than the foregoing tut thich have received considerable attention are Kr and trititun (sH). After,the 85 -
1980 reactor Nildig purge, it was estimated that 25,000-35,000 curies of 85Kr renained in the core. Subsequent vis=14ntion of the core by TV cameras and direct view showed that the fuel e1=dding, which prevents release of evolved fission gaser, like '5Kr in intact fuel elements, was mostly disrupted.1his, wum with later avidence that a large part of the core was~in a molten state during the amih:irrlimted it was improbable that pockets of free esKr renained, and any release therefore, would have to 85 be small and gradual. This is confimad by the fact that Kr has not been detectable in the containnent or stack monitors in the last several years
~
despite the pressure vessel being open to the con *ht atnosphere.
During July,1986, a speial drimg anchine was used .to obtain ten 3" diamater x 6' long sanples fran the Unit II core and to drill approximately
- 30 additional 3" diameter holes in the core to feilitate breakire up the crusty material for runoval. No esKr was detectable during the borirq Wili#ilit Wiich strongly indicates that no measurable release of '5Kr will nmm during defueling.

'Ihe most recent estimate of the trititan inventory at IMI Unit II is given in GPU Ibclear's proposal of July 31, 1986 to the NIC for "Di==1 of P m v w ,i Water." After radioactive decay frcan 3/28/79 to 1/1/86 and vent releases during 1980-1985 are accounted for, it is estimated that 1,183 curies of trititan, disp =M in 1.9 millinn 711mm of water fran various sources remain. By the time the recovery effort is corplete, GPU ,
estimates that 1,020 curies of8H in 2,1 millinn gallons of water will have to be disposed of.

1he Maryland Scy .i .;. of Natural Resourcespe-OGQ is conducting a ,
seni-amual saglirg of fish, shellfish, aquatic vegetation and earH= ants in the lower Susquehanna River and Upper Owaapaake Bay. Stations bed e
in Holtwod Reservoir and taminate below the south of the asaafran River.
The samling strategy primarily is to detect the envirormental distrih*km l of radirv=v14dm discharged during the el operations of the Peach Bottan Atanic Generating Station. Knowledge of the levels of diarharge fran Peach Bottan and resultirg envisci.i.2 tal w m..Letions provides an agirical basis for the prediction of effects fran Shree Mile Island. She Holtwood Reservoir Station provides opportunity for detection of 1MI effects prior to inter-feren by Peach Bottaa effluents, thus providing a basis for estimating the fractions of downstrean concentrations that are due to 1MI.
In April,1982, the M)-ONR expanded its aquatic spillame of the Susquehanna River to include the plaeirs of caged ==ala ard crayfish at Holtwood Reservoir and at Conowingo during the period of April 1 to pmen-ber 1. h cages are pulled monthly ard the biota analyzed for radi=+4vity.
h pi%.e is intended to study uptake patterns by these animals, ard the W
WP6 relative contributions fran ihree Mile Islard ard Peach Bottan to those uptakes.
In the Fall of 1983, M>-DR began a three-year pxws-s designed to assess the chenical forras, mechanimm, and renoval rates affecting the fate of radice=v-liam in the Susquehanna River /Ow=;mke Day Systan. Specific tasks inclu3e defining the distribution of the r=dimr-tive sp#m of cesiun, eremit, zinc, and siilver amorg water, su:vaded matter and =ad4=*s, across the salinity gradient of the Systen. Also included is the detemination of dv=4 cal fanns ard ===v-intions of those raditw=vlida in water ard particulates. Another task is identifying the sorption / desorption kinetics as=<v-inted with changes in physiocbanimi characteristics of the Systen.h results of these stw11m ard M)-mR's data base will provide the infonnation tweary to arviel radiorsv-lth fate in the Susquehanna River / Bay Systen.
