Contrary to the above, on February 3, 1981, at 11:15 a.m. it was determined by the licensee that the concentration of tritium in the Cooling Tower blowdown water discharge which was made on January 23 and 24, 1981, was 3.39E-3uci/cc and 3.57E-3uci/cc respectively, exceeding the limiting concentration for tritium (3.00E-3uci/cc).
