Boyce H. Grier, Director, Region I
SUBJECT:
METROPOLITAN EDISON COMPANY, THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2, DOCKET NO. 50-320 Based on the results of our inspection efforts, we have determined that Construction and Preoperational Testing of the subject facility have been completed in substantial agreement with docketed commitments and regulatory requirements, with the exception of items indicated in the enclosures. With the exception of noted items, we have completed our inspections in accordance with the requirements contained in MC 2500.
Remaining construction, testing, and inspection items identified in the enclosures have been categorized by our recomended mandatory completion milestone.
t As a part of our inspection efforts, we have reviewed the licensee's es preparations for implementation of the Quality Assurance Program for s..) Operations, and have found that they meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Ap3endix B, as specified in the licensee's Quality Assurance Program (Caapter 17 of the FSAR1, which was reviewed by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
We have also enclosed a proposed letter of facility readiness for.your consideration. All items on the enclosures will be fonnally closed out in fi:ture inspection reports, and, if necessary, by appropriate rapid comunication techniques.

SUBJECT:
METROPOLITAN EDISON COMPANY, THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-320 We have been informed by our Region I Office, based en their inspection findings, that construction and preoperational testing of the subject facility have been completed in substantial agreement with docketed com-mitments and regulatory requirements, with the exceptions listed in the enclosures.
The Office of Inspection and Enforcement has no further items which would preclude issuance of an Operating License to permit facility operation up to its full design rating (or alternate operating limitations as appropriate).
It is recomended that the operating license be conditioned with the information contained in the enclosures.
I We have reviewed the licensee's preparations for implementation of the Quality Assurance Program for Operations, and have found that they meet j
the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, as specified in the licensee's Quality Assurance Program (Chapter 17 of the FSAR), which was reviewed by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
