The staff's proposal was described in detail in the

" Final Environmental Assessment for Decontamination of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 Reactor Building Atmosphere," NUREG-0662,llay 1980.

This purging can be carried out in such a manner (a " slow purge") that the release of radio-active effluents, primarily krypton-85, will lie within the limits allowed by the technical specifications which are part of the TMI-2 operating license.
