Periodic Radiation Survey. Section I. EFPH-4182. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231 (T-612394)

The purpose of the survey was to determine the radiation levels in the 1 D Boiler Chamber during plant operation. The conclusion of this survey is that the radiation level in the 1 D Boiler Compartment with the 1A, 1B, and 1C Main Coolant loops in service at approximately 100 per cent power ranged from .03 MR/HR to 6.0 MR/HR.
