               The existing equipment has high maintenance due to                     
               equipment age and unavailability of parts.  The                        
               equipment is obsolete.  The replacement of the                         
               equipment is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)                     
               Requirement to meet the recommendations of Regulatory                  
               Guideline 1.97.  The full scope of work has not been                   
               defined.                                                               
                    Phase I  - Engineering and Procurement $1,900,000                 
                    Phase II - Construction                                           
                    The total cost of the project is estimated to be                  
               $3,800,000 to $12,500,000 depending on which                           
               alternative is implemented.  The expected completion                   
               date of Phase II is December, 1990.                                    
          This BI was revised twice in 1989, decreasing the amount budgeted           
          for phase I of the project to $550,000.                                     
               ER No. 5339, processed on March 3, 1989, authorized $950,000           
          for an area radiation monitoring system.  The ER states:                    
                    This project is to replace the entire existing                    
               Area Radiation Monitoring System with new state of the                 
               art components for Turkey Point.                                       
                    Purpose and Necessity:                                            
                    The existing Area Radiation Monitoring System                     
               requires very high maintenance, also the equipment is                  
               obsolete.  Replacement of the Area Radiation Monitoring                
               System has been committed to the NRC under compliance                  
               of R.G. 1.97 Rev. 3.                                                   
                    This is a phased ER:                                              
                         Phase I  - Engineering & Procurement                         
                         Phase II - Construction                                      
                    This ER is for engineering and procurement only.                  
               The ER will be revised later to include construction.                  
               Removal costs and property retirements will be                         
               addressed when the ER is revised for Phase II.  The                    
               authorized amount is included in the 1989 Capital                      
               Budget.
