Writer's Direct Dial Number January 30, 1980 TLL 035 TMI Support Attn:

J. T. Collins, Deputy Director U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission c/o Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Middletown, Pa.

Dear Sir:

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit II (TMI-2)

Operating License No. DPR-73 Docket No. 50-320 Annual Emergency Radiation Drill In your letter of December 28, 1979, you granted a waiver of the 1979 Annual Emergency Drill until January 31, 1980.

To date, seven (7) Radiological Emergency Drills were performed which involved the coordinated recponse of the Unit II Emergency Organization consistent with the existing Emeggency Plan. The scenarios for these drills were as follows:

DATE SCENARIO January 16 RCBT Rupture January 17 Makeup System Valve Packing Leak January 18 Dropped Epicor II Demineralizer Liner January 23 Fire at Interim Waste Storage Building January 24 Failed Open R. B. Purge Valve (s)

January 25 DH-V6B Gross Packing Leak January 28 Dropped Epicor II Demineralizer Liner In assessing the overall response, it was considered that except for the January 18 drill (which was rerun on January 28), the Emergency Organization response was such that the postulated accident was controlled, its consequences mitigated and personnel safety ensured to a satisfactory level. However, it is recognized that some emergency practice problems still exist which require our continued training efforts and need to be resolved in order _to improve the overall emergency response. Action items have been assigned for this purpose.

It is felt that any further drills at this time will not show any significant change in the Emergency Organization's ability to effectively respond to accident situations, but rather the following program is proposed:

a.

Defer the drill presently scheduled for February 7, 1980.

Perform documented " mini-drills" at the HP Supervisor and Technician level to improve the HP practices characteristics of HP organization emergency response, Perform a documented Radiation Emergency Drill prior to March 31, c.

1980, involving the combined organizational response. Thereafter, quarterly drills will be patterned after the recent drills. Any unsatisfactory drill will be repeated in order to achieve a satis-factory performance.

Your consideration of the above proposal is requested.
