E.t f,1 P_rovision of Air Distribution Manifolds W

1.

Two breathing air distribution manifolds, plus extra filters and 7

spara parts, were provided to Metropolitan Edison Company on E'

April 17.1979. The estimated value of the equiptent was 51000.

'f; The utility company agreed to reimburse DOE for the cost.

w" 2.

The manifolds were requested on the afternoon of April 17, 1979, 7'

and were shipped air freight, by 10:00 p.m. on April 17. 1979.

Personnel and organizational contacts were as follows:

n.E e

On April 17. 1979, R. L. Fergusort called R. P. Fasulo. (RL) and requestec tnat we provide fresn air breathing equipment to TMI.

J. L. Tcw was the DOE contact; he put us in direct contact with Joe Darrett of Metropolitan Edison Company.

quest for Services agreement with NRC. perfomed physics calcu-lat'ons for NRC following the accident at THI.

Calculations were perfomed to estimate the amount of core blockage which had cccurrec, using temperature data provided'by NRC.
