I

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. J. Kottan of this

1

office on July 13-16, 1976 at Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station,

Middletcwn, Pennsylvania of activities authorized by NRC License No.

DPR-50 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Kottan with

Mr. Colitz and others of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

i

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of

Inspection and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this

,

!

letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with

'

personnel, and observations by the inspector.

I

In addition our Mobile Laboratory was also brought to your site and used

by the inspector to make certain independent measurements.

The basic

il

purpose of these independent measurements is to verify your capability

,

for analyzing radioactive effluents, and to achieve and maintain compar-

able methods of analyses between your facility and the NRC.

The complete

data from these measurements will be reported in a subsequent Inspection

-

Report.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your

3

activities was not conducted in full compliance with URC requirements,

',

as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix

A.

This item of noncompliance has been categorized into the levels as

described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974. This

notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the

NRC's " Rules of Practice", Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within twenty (20)

days of your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation

'

in reply including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you

and the results achieved; (2) corrective eteps which will be taken to

avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance
