Dear George:

At the meeting held on September 5, 1979, in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, between representatives of Essex Corporation ("Essex") and Metropolitan Edison Company

(" Met-Ed") operating personnel, the Met-Ed employees were given copies of an eleven-

-page drawing prepared by Essex and depicting in columnar form the actions of Met-Ed operating personnel.during the first one hundred and forty minutes of the accident at Three Mile Island Unit 2.

The Met-Ed employees at the September 5, 1979 meeting were asked to identify any, gross errors they detected in the drawing.

I have received the following corrections to the Essex drawing; please note that the list may not be exhaustive.

[ "" verifies s/g levels coming down on start-up range; verificsmain feed pumps Faus t" column : At 00:14 change " Notices noise in vib. & LP monitor" to

, gW/

bi tripped off".

y At 00:41 add: " notes turbine bypass valves opening" after " notes gov.

^~ 6 valve closed".

At 00:58 add: " checks electrical buses of normal line up; makes decision to leave mn & fw pumps turning gear motors off".

At 1:00 after " notes 10 in'. level on sg A&B" add: makes announcement that generators are not being fed,.could be dry; takes manual control of EP-V11 Dailey stations and tries to throttle; waits to see if there is any change.
