Dear Dr. Seaborg:
At its ninety-sixth meeting, on April 4-6, 1968, the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards completed its re-examination of the application by Metropolitan Edison Company to construct r
the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 1.
The Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit I was the subject of a report to f
you dated January 17, 1968. The review was re-opened at the g.
ninety-fif th ACRS meeting, on March 7-9, 1968, in consideration j.
of an additional submittal by the applicant evaluating further
?
the effects of the proximity of the Olmsted State Airport.
The Cocuittee has had the benefit of discussions with repre-sentatives of Metropolitan Edison Company, Babcock and Wilcox Company, Gilbert Associates, and the AEC Regulatory Staff and l
their consultants. The additional documents submitted are j
listed in this report.
E Although the probability of an airplane Idt thg the station is very small, the applicant has undartaken to provide principal 4
structures and components of the station with the capability
}5 of withstanding aircraf t strike loadings over a range of condi-
$^
tions, including effects such as secondary missiles, fire, and pressure and temperature effects. The reactor building, control T
- 3 building, fuel handling building, auxiliary building, and interme-diate building will have the necessary modifications to assure the capability of bringing the plant to a safe shutdown condition.
