SUMMARY
OF MEETING - FEBRUARY 20, 1973
SUMMARY
A meeting was held in Bethesda on February 20, 1973, to discuss the results of our initial review of the technical specifications for the operation of Three Mile Island Unit 1.
Based on this discussion the applicant intends to revise the specifications and to resubmit them.
Also, we informed the applicant that the ACRS review meeting had slipped from April to buy 1973, but that this change does not effect the schedule date for commencing the public hearing or the prospective decision date.
DISCUSSION This meeting was held to provide Met-Ed and CPU with the results of our initial review of the technical specifications for operation of Three Mile Island Unit 1.
Our initial review of the technical specifications is complete except for Chapter 4.
Based on the discussion described below the applicant will revise the technical specifications as appropriate and resubmit them for our review. The technical specifications are expected to be complete by June 1973.
Technical Soecifications The following items relating to the technical specifications for Three Mile Island Unit 1 were discussed:
1.
R. Smith reviewed the limiting conditions and surveillance requirements for handling and release of radioactive materials, both liquid and gaseous.
2.
R. VanNiel discussed the Administrative Controls, Chapter 6.
He pointed out that the technical specifications are placed into effect at the time of licensing and on that basis three licensed operators per shift are required for fuel loading.
In the past, this requirement had been interpreted by the.AEC as two licensed plus one qualified person. Met-Ed had interpreted this 1486 038
O J. requirement to mean one licensed plus one qualified persons. This difference in interpretation was discussed and clarified. We will require evidence of personnel qualifications for review and acceptance prior to licensing.
3.
M. Dunenfeld discussed the reactor physics aspects of speci-fications 2.1, core safety limits and 3.5, limiting conditions for instrumentation systems. He indicated that the TMI-l specifica-tions are being reviewed in the context of a generic review of all similar B&W reactor plants. He identified control rod bank insertion limits as a function of power level, quadrant tilt as a function of power level, and the alarming of tilt limits in the control room as topics which should be censidered by the applicant in preparing these technical specifications.
4.
H. Schierling discussed the remaining technical specifications from Chapters 1 through 3.
With respect to specifications 3.1.4, reactor coolant activity, and 3.13, secondary system activity, we will determine acceptable activities for these systems based on our analysis of their specific systems. He suggested that a technical specification similar to specification 3.12 which addrecsec the reacter building pclar cranc cheuld ba concidered for the 100 ton crane in the fuel handling area.
5.
H. Faulkner reviewed the specifications of Chapter 5, Design Features. The applicant was asked to provide a description of the plant restricted area in specification 5.1.
6.
D. Jenkins provided a copy of Regulatory Guide 4.1, Measuring and Reporting of Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants, to the applicant.
Specification 4.11, site environmental radioactivity survey including table 4.11-1, should be revised along the lines stated in guide 4.1.
F. Congel stated that a full, comprehensive survey program will be required for the three to four year period of the first fuel cycle.
We informed the applicant not to resubmit the entire set of speci-fications, but to use the change-page format with margin marks for modifications to the present specifications.
6 039
. Review Schedule We informed the applicant that ACRS revi-'
,or this plant had been changed from April to May but that no change in the start of the public hearing or the prospective decision date had been made. Tuis change was based on an assessment of the outstanding safety issues with respect to the Three Mile Island Unit 1 plant.
ECCS A meeting was scheduled for February 28, 1973 in Bethesda to review with the applicant proposed modifications to the reactor design to alleviate concerns with the core flood tank line break.
