Subject:
REPORT ON THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1
Dear Dr. Seaborg:
At its ninety-sixth meeting, on April 4-6, 1968, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards completed its re-examination of the application by Metropolitan Edison Company to construct the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 1.
The Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit I was the subject of a report to you dated January 13, 1968. The review was re-opened at the ninety-fifth ACRS meeting, on March 7-9, 1968, in consideration of an additional submittal by the applicant evaluating further the effects of the' proximity of the.Olmsted State Airport.
The Committee has had the benefit of discussions with repre-sentatives of Metropolitan Edison Compaaj, Babcock and Wilcor Company, Gilbert Associates, and the AEC Regulatory Staff and their consultants. The additional documents submitted are listed fn this report.
Although the probability of an airplane hitting the station is very small, the applicant has undertaken to provide principal 3
structures and components of the station witih the capability of vithstanding aircraft strike loadings over a range of condi-tions, including effects such as secondary missiles, fire, and presscre and temperature effects. The reactor building, control building, fuel handling building, auxiliary building, and interme-diate building will have the necessary modifications to assure the capability of bringing the plant to a safe shutdown condition.

m Honorable Glent. L Seaborg April 6, 1968 The Commi.: tee' reaffirms its previous conclusion that, if suitable attention is given to the various items mentioned in the Committee's report of January 17, 1968, the proposed reactor can be constructed
.at. the Three-Mile Island site with rea'sonable assurance that it can be~ operated without undue risk to the health and safety of the public.
Sincerely yours, Carroll W. Z el I
Chairman
