SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000320/2009007, GPU NUCLEAR, INC.,
THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 2, MIDDLETOWN,
Dear Mr. Hagan:
On June 22-24, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a safety
inspection at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (TMI-2) of activities authorized by the
above listed NRC license. The inspection was an examination of your licensed activities as they
relate to radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's regulations and the license
conditions. The inspection consisted of observations by the inspector, interviews with personnel,
and a selective examination of representative records. The findings of the inspection were
discussed with Mr. Petro, of your organization, and members of the Exelon management and
staff on June 24, 2009, at the conclusion of the inspection. The enclosed report presents the
results of this inspection.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that one Severity Level IV
violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation involves the failure to perform a quality
assurance audit of the radioactive waste program in accordance with the GPU Nuclear Post-
Defueling Monitored Storage Quality Assurance Plan for TMI-2, as required by Technical
Specification 6.5.3.1. This violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent
with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described in the subject inspection
report. If you contest the violation or significance of the NCV, you should provide a response
within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with
copies to: (1) the Regional Administrator, Region 1; (2) the Director, Office of Enforcement,
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and (3) the NRC
Resident Inspector at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, its
enclosure, and your response, if applicable, will be available electronically for public inspection
in the NRC Public Document Room and from the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response, if you choose
to provide one, should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information
so that it can be made available to the public without redaction.
