Docket No. 50-289 APR 1 8 G4 I

Metropolitan Edison Company ATIN: Mr. Robert C. Arnold Vice President-Generation g
P. O. Box 542 Reading, Pennsylvania 19603 Centlemen:
1
{
We have received your letter of March 25, 1974 which submitted material anending the Operational Quality Assurance Plan for Three Mile Island Unit 1.
We have reviewed this material and conclude that it resolves our objections with clarification of two items.
On page 1A-50, regarding large scale participation by General Public Utilities Service Corporation (CPUSC), you state:
"...the Vice President-Generation will review and approve the Project Organization and Responsibilities Document and the Project QA Plan. He will also ensure that appropriate audits are conducted of the GPUSC QA program".
It is our understanding that by this commitment, you intend to act on your responsibility as licensee to review, approve, and audit all work by CPUSC on Three Mile Island Unit 1.
As we indicated in our letter of March 12, 1974, that is a requirement and is our understanding in accepting the Three Mile Island Unit 1 Operational Quality Assurance f
Plan. We feel that this matter requires emphasis because of the possi-bility of confusion arising from statements elsewhere in the plan, particularly with respect to nuclear fuel procurement. For instance, j
on page 1A-5, the plan states:
"It should be noted that this plan does not cou r the procurement of nuclear fuel".
And on page 1A-22, the plan states: "For fuel, the Manager-Generation Engineering is respon-sible for ensuring proper management of fuel purchasing". These
{
ctatements might be construed by some that nuclear fuel procurement and management may somehow be conducted outside the purview of the Operational Quality Assurance Program. Such conduct would be unacceptable, of course; Metropolitan Edison Company's review, approval, and audit responsibility applies to all work on Three Mile Island Unit 1, including the nuclear fuel work.
I I
On page 1A-50, the plan also states with respect to CPUSC work on
(
Three Mile Island Unit 1: "... Metropolitan Edison Cotnpany will establish and implement organizational, administrative, and reporting arrangenents equivalent to those described previously for the pre-cornercial phase of the project" (emphasis added). This reference 1507 25i 1911

- l.
of equivalence is somewhat vague as to arrangements previously described or accepted. It is our understanding, and a requirement for acceptance of this plan, that such arrangements comply with the requirements of this Operational Quality Assurance Plan.
With these clarifications, we consider the Three Mile Island Unit 1 Operational Quality Assurance Plan acceptable for licensin;;. We recomend that you clarify the plan sections referred to at the first opportunity.
Sincerely,
