ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C.

20545 August 14, 1973 Honorable Dixy Lee Ray Chairman U. S. Atomic Energy Comission Washington, D. C.

Subject:

REPORT ON THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 Dear Dr. Ray; During its 160th meeting, August 9-11, 1973, the Advisory Comittee on Reactor Safeguards completed its review of the application of the Metro-politan Edison Company, Jersey Central Power and Light Company, Pennsyl-vania Electric Company, and General Public Utilities Corporation for a license to operate Unit 1 of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station at power levels up to 2535 W (t). This project was considered during a Subcommittee site visit and meeting conducted on May 27 and 28,1971.

The Subcomittee visited the site again on May 3,1973, and held a meeting in Washington, D. C. on July 25, 1973. In the course of the review, the Comittee had the benefit of _ discussions with representa-tives and consultants of the Metropolitan Edison Company, the General Public Utilities Corporation, Gilbert Associates, the Babcock and Wilcox Company, and the AEC Regulatory Staff, and of the documents listed. The Comittee regorted to the Comission on the construction of this Unit in its letters of January 17 and April 6, 1968, and on the construction of Unit 2 in its letter of July 17, 1969.

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station is located on Three Mile Island in the Susquehanna River, about 10 miles southeast of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg International Airport is located 2-1/2 miles northwest of Unit 1.

The applicant has provided protection of the engineered safety features and safe shutdown equipment in the unlikely event of the impact of an aircraft up to 200,000 pounds, and against fires resulting from crashes of even larger aircraft.

The application for a construction permit proposed initial operation at power levels up to 2452 W (t), the same as the construction permit power level of Oconee Nuclear Station, Unit I which employs a similar reactor.
