Subject:

Conditional Acceptance of FSS Final Reports In Reference Nos. 2 through 4, the USNRC concluded that Maine Yankee FSS Final Report Nos 3, 4, 8 and 9 were acceptable. This acceptance was conditioned on "acceptable re-survey results of the surface following removal of the sacrificial covering." Maine Yankee has completed the re-survey of applicable surfaces following the removal of the sacrificial covering. These re-survey results have been provided to the NRC. Attached is a description of the applicable LTP requirement, an explanation of the areas to which it applies and a table showing the submittal where the results have been provided.

Thus, it is Maine Yankee's understanding that the conditions of acceptance for FSS Final Report Nos. 3 and 4 have been met, contingent upon NRC acceptance of the associated submittals containing the results as identified in the attached table.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

LTP Survey Requirement Following Removal of Sacrificial Covering cc: Dr. R. R. Bellamy, NRC Region I Mr. D. R. Lewis, Esq., Shaw Pittman Mr. C. Pray, State of Maine, Nuclear Safety Advisor Mr. P. J. Dostie, State of Maine, Division of Health Engineering Mr. D. Gillen, NRC Acting Director, Division of Waste Management Mr. M. Rosenstein, USEPA Region I Mr. S. J. Collins, NRC Regional Administrator, Region I Mr. J. Buckley, NRC NMSS Project Manager, Decommissioning Mr. M. Roberts, NRC Region I Mr. R. Shadis, Friends of the Coast

ATTACHMENT LTP Survey Requirement Following Removal of Sacrificial Covering Maine Yankee License Termination Plan (LTP) (Reference No. 1), Section 3.1.3 describes the options for sequencing building demolition activities with FSS for building basements. Some of these options involved the demolition of contaminated building superstructures following the FSS and backfill of the basements below. For these cases, the LTP calls for the performance of confirmatory measurements on the surface of the soil fill material after super structure demolition following the removal of a layer of sacrificial fill.

This requirement applies to building footprints where the FSS was performed in the building basement prior to the demolition of the contaminated building superstructure above; namely the Spray Building, Primary Auxiliary Building and Containment Building. Thus, in Reference Nos 3 and 10 (Spray Building), 16 (PAB) and 27 (Containment Building), a statement was made regarding verification surveys on the fill material after super structure demolition following the removal of a layer of sacrificial fill. This requirement does not apply to survey units where there was no building superstructure or where the building superstructure was demolished prior to the FSS, eg. Fuel Building.

The following table identifies the building footprints where FSS was performed in the building basement prior to the demolition of the contaminated building superstructure above and provides a reference to the submittals containing the results of the verification surveys on the fill material after super structure demolition following the removal of a layer of sacrificial fill.
