Dear Sir:

V Docket No. 50-289 e

Operating License No. DPR-50 Three Mile Island Nuclear Statier Unit'l (TMI-1)

Pursuant to our letter of July 11, 1975, please be inf:rmed that as a result of analyses perfor ed on the rip rap of the dikes at TMI, the folleving deficiencies have been identified:

1.

In several areas the rip rap is s-al' - or thinner than criginally specified. To correct this situaticn, additional rip rap of the proper sice vill be placed in these areas.

2.

In one 225-fcot-long area just scuth of the Unit 2 intake structure the existence of a tce can net be verified due to the presence of a thick covering of spoil material.' To provide such verificaticn, a trench will be dug through the speil. If this excavatien reveals the presence of a tee, all spoil material covering the tce vill be re=cved; if it does not, a tce vill be placed.

3 In the area between the two intake structures and in ancther 250 rect-lens area just ncrth of the Unit 1 intake structure a tee prcbably dces not exist. To correct this situation, additicnal, coarse rip rap =aterial vill be placed at the base of the rip rap facing in these two areas to serve as a tee.

h.

In the area between the two intake structures and just ncrth cf the Unit 1 intake structure there is essentially no filter blanket present. This is net considered to represent a sericus situatien in that any a'diticnal d

rip rap which is placed en the facing to restore lost filter volume vill increase the thickness of the facing and thereby decrease the need for a filter; therefore, no attempt vill be made to replace the filter blanket in these areas except by the applicatien of additional rip rap to the dike facing.

-2 All of the repairs mentioned in items 1 through h above are expected to be ecmpleted by the end of 1975, river ccnditions and other facters per=itting.

In the meantire, a region-by-regien analysis perfor=ed,by cur censultants indicates that the existing rip rap facing of the dike vill be cdequate to withstand design flev velocities and wave heights.

We trust this succittal is adequate; however, should you have any questiens regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to centact =e.

Sincerely,
