TMI-2 reactor building purge: Kr-85 venting
A comprehensive technical report of the total effort involved in the decontamination of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) Reactor Building atmosphere by venting the contained Kr-85 to the environment is presented. This technical documentation is intended for inclusion in the Technical Integration Office (TIO) data bank as a TMI-2 on-site cleanup activity of interest to the Information and Examination Program. The scope includes the licensing effort which was required to obtain NRC's approval to vent, a description of the plant equipment and instrumentation involved in the venting operation, how the venting was controlled to conform with technical specifications, problems encountered during venting, a summary and analysis of pertinent venting data, and a description and results of the on-site and extensive off-site radiological environmental monitoring programs conducted during the Kr-85 venting.
