, fOlllfD(L OCT 3 1987 Dr. Willis W. Bixby, Director West Valley Demonstration Project
] U.S. Department of Energy P.O. Box 191 West. Valley, NY 14171
Dear Dr. Bixby:
A copy of our report, " Safety Evaluation Report on the West Valley Demonstration Project Supernatant Treatment System," is enclosed. This report presents our evaluation of information contained in the West Valley Demonstration Project's Safety Analysis Report, Volume III, Section D, on the Supernatant Treatment System, as well as other information supplied by the Project.
We have concluded that operation of the Supernatant Treatment System will not endanger the public's health or safety. At the same time, we have made some suggestions you should consider for improving the system's performance. Our main recommendations are that the Project make a formal commitment to a minimum cesium removal fraction, and undertake a short, preliminary Supernatant Treatment System run followed by a pause to allow detailed analysis of decontamination factors and optimum operating parameters. We request that you inform us of how you plan to deal with these recommendations.
As always, please feel free to call me at any time should you have questions about this document.
Sincerely,
[0#4Wi,L$1Gnit(
