We have reviewed Amendment No. 7 of the Preliminary Safety Analysis Eeyurt, sur u c Lin.orici. Gs tating Str.tict., L'aite 1 sid I A*:0 Dockets Nos. 50-352 and 50-353, Philadelphia Electric Ctwpaqr. The following conscents are presented for your eensiderations h,

Temperature inversims and their effect on dispersion of stack. gas releases is discussed in Section 2 3 5 of the amendment. Thereis it is stated "it may serve as as e Hitional holdup, wherein the adverse effects of poor-I I

dispersion are counteracted by a longer period for radio-l setive deosir to occur." Although such circumstances would allow a 1coger period for radioactive doeny, the immediate environment would be subjected to concentrated radiation levels for a langer than moraal period. The applicant should outline the probable adverse effects on fish sad a

wildlife ::wuurcu should this situation arise.

In idection 12.2.7, Schuylkill River intake P.nd puny stnetures tre discussed, but velocities at the intake i

screens are not delineated. Since velocities greater j

j than 0.75 fps could lapose hasardous conditions to squatie a

i organisms, the applicant should state the upected velte-

.i j

ities et this stneture.

f Appendix I, Section 1.1.1. discusses class IV emergencies.

While we realise the public safety mast be of the first I

priority, contingency plans to protect fish and wildlife I

resources also should be provided. We wish to point out that hypert>olic cooling towers and, meteorological towers pose potential hazards to flying birds, particularly migrat-g ing waterfowl during certain atmospheric conditions which I;

induce fog.

We appreciate the oryva-aty to review and comment on the amendnent.
