SAFETY EVALUATIO': BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATICN SUPPORTING A'!END?!ENT NO. 14 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-50 METROPOLITA" EDISON CC?PANY JERSEY CE.'; TRAL FC..'il AND LIGHT COMPANY PENNSYLVANIA ELECTRIC C0"?ANY THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATICN. UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-2S9
.s IhTRODUCTION By letter dated December 29, 1975, the Metropolitan Edison Ccepany (Meted) requested that the Technical Specifications appended to Facility Operating License No. DPR-50 for Three Mile Islcnd Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (T'II-1) be amended. The proposed scendment would ecdify the tendons selected for inspection in the DtI-1 Tendon Surveillance Program.
DISCUSSION Meted completed the first tendon inspection of the TMI-1 Tenden Surveillance Program in June, 1975.
In conducting this inspection Meted noted that.any of the tendens selected for inspection in ensuing inspection periods are impractical for the necessary testing associated with the inspection program.
These tendens are either physically inaccessible to the necessary testing equipment or impractical for persennel to work near since the tenden anchors are located in the discharge path of steam vent lines.
In order that tendon surveillance be carried out and further 'ce conducted while the eactor is operating (not necessitating a special shutdown) "e:Ed har. r c.asted that other representative tendons be selected and scheduled in the inspection program.
Meted has proposed specific tendons for the inspection program that were selected on a randen. but representative basis so that the substitute tendens would have the same probability of corrosien and have similar structural functions. We have reviewed the proposed substitute tendons and concur that these selections meet the criteria stated above and are in accordance with Regulatory C ide 1.35, Revision 1.
