The outcome of a series of in-place filter tests on the emergency and normal ventilation system of the reactor compartment is reported, and an evaluation of the consequence of the N.S. Savannah MCA (maximum credible accident) in port is presented. Results of the shielding survey confirm that dose rates in the passenger and crew areas exceed the specified limits at only one point.
