750.16. l 3 DH gsh CHAIRMAN HENDRIE: The first thing I will need to do, then, is to ask you to join me in votinJ to hola a short I

-- I 3 notice affirmation meeting for the EPICOR-2 order at Three

4 :Aile Island, unit 2.

J fhose in favor?

(A chorus of ayes.

I CHAIRMAN HENDRIE: So ordered.

3 Do you want me to introduce them, Sam, or shall you? Last

Y week the commission heard discussions, a continuation,

IJ actually, of discussions on the operation of the EPICOR

l I facility at Three Mile Island. The proposition before the 12 House was the operation of the EPICOR-2 filtration and ion

13 exchange unit to decontaminate intermediate level

14 radioactive waste water now held in the Three Mile Island

I:.) Unit 2 auxiliary and fuel handling ouilJing tankage.

fhe tankage is about to become full. There is before the

I/ House no motion here to discharge any of the products to the

Id general environment.

LJ -fh,e aim.i.s to r-emove t-he.bulk of the radioactive material 20 from the water in those tan~s where it ~ust be regarded as 2~ having some residual opportunity for leakage~ error on 22 turning a v8lve, or whatever, and getting out the people.

23 And to concentrate that activity on the system on the resins, 24 where it is much less likely to get out and be of concern

25 to people.

750. 16. 2 4 DH gsh fhe commission had had the matter under advisement across

2 the weekend, and it is my understanding that the current 3 draft of a memorandum and order that has been circulated is

4 acceptable to the commissioners and that the commissioners have

~ indicated to the 9eneral counsel that that is the case and I

6 would, assuming that, in fact, to be the case, would ask if

/ you are now willing to affirm your votes on the memorandum and

3 order.

Y Those in favor?

10 CA chorus of ayes~)

11 CHAIRMAN HENDRIE: So ordered. Obvi ous-ly, the order

12 should be available forthwith publicly.

13 (Whereupon, at 4:21, the committee adjourned.)
