l Revised Contention 5 It is conterided that Licensee has pursued a course of conduct that is in violation of 10 CFR 50.57,10 CFR 50.40,10 CFR 50.36,10 CFR 50.71 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, th?reby demonstrating that Licensee is not " technically

... qualified to" operate TMI Unit 1 "without endangering the health and safety cf the public." This course of conduct includes:

a. deferring maintenance and repair beyond the point established by its own procedures (see e.g. A.P.1407);
b. disregarding the importance cf maintenance in safely operating a nuclear plant in that it:

a 1.

uses supervisory and other personnel to perform maintenance; 2.

proposed a drastic cut in the maintenance budget; 3.

fails to follow its own maintenance procedures for the timely correction of maintenance problems; 4.

fails to keep accurate maintenance records; 5.

has inadequate and understaffed QA/QC programs; 6.

extensively uses overtime in performing maintenance.

Reorgani::ation of the same people does not correct the problem.
