Dear Mr. Hukill:
As indicated in the meeting between the staff of Three Mile Island Unit One and representatives of the Procedures and Test-Review Branch (D. Ziemann and M. Rubin) on November 12, 1980, we still have a number of concerns about the procedures prepared to respond to an inadequate core cooling (ICC) situation at Unit One. Primarily, we are concerned about the relationship between the procedure for ICC as a result of a Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA)
Emergency Procedure 1202-6B, and the procedure for other ICC situations, Emergency Procedure 1202-39. We have not been provided with a technical justification of Emergency Procedure 1202-39 that is consistent with the analysis and guidelines on which Emergency Procedure 1202-6B was based.
Additionally, several of our specific coments, that we thought had been resolved in our meeting, were not corrected in the draft revised procedures that were subsequently submitted.
After our meeting with the TMI-l staff, the requirement for a review of TMI-l emergency procedures as called for in Task Action Plan Item I.C.8 was forwarded to you in a letter from D. G. Eisenhut dated November 25, 1980. Please indicate whether you will (1) continue development of the ICC procedures and also provide backup analysis, guidelines and procedures for LOCA, Loss of Main Feedwater, and Steam Generator Tube Rupture, as required by Item I.C.8, or (2) implement the procedures-developed from the Abnormal Transient Operator Guideline (AT0G) program prior to restart. Your intentions to implement AT0G were discussed at a meeting with the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards on December 4, 1980, but at
~ that time you did not anticipate implementation until after restart.
If option (1) is selected, to begin our review, we will require B&W vendor guidelines and supporting analyses for Small Break LOCA, Steam Generator Tube Rupture, Loss of Main Feedwater, and Inadequde Core Cooling. Your plant emergency procedures for the four listed events will also be required.
B&W has previously submitted LOCA guidelines. They should be reexamined by you in light of current knowledge and verified as being applicable or revised as necessary.
If option (2) is selected, to begin our review, we will require the AT0G guidelines and supporting analyses and bases and your plant specific emergency procedures. Please note that Item I.C.1 of NUREG-0737 requires revision and implementation of emergency procedures at the first refueling outage after January 1,1982.

Mr. H. 0. Hukill 4
Metropolitan Edison Company -
Upon receipt of the B&W guidelines and plant specific procedures, we will perform an inhouse review that will require approximately eight weeks.
Questions raised during this review will be resolved at one or more meetings with representatives of Metropolitan Edison and B&W. When the plant specific procedures have been given preliminary approval by the staff, representatives from Metropolitan Edison will be required to demonstrate them on a B&W plant simulator, and finally, to walk at least one procedure through the Unit 1 control board. Simulator and plant walk-throughs perfomed to date have revealed the need for additional revisions of the procedures. When the necessary procedure revisions have been accomplished, the staff will issue a safety evaluation report regarding the acceptability of the emergency procedures for Unit 1 operation.
In total we expect approximately 12 weeks will be required to review the guidelines and emergency procedures, conduct the walk-throughs and issue an SER.
Please inform us within 20 days of receipt as to which option or alternate approach you will pursue and a detailed schedule for procedure submittal and walk-throughs.
A second requirement identified in the [[letter::05000320/LER-1980-049-01, /01L-0:on 801027,ASME Code Stamped UV Valve LTB-V171 Discovered Stamped by Unauthorized Valve Supply House.Caused by Unauthorized Use of ASME UV Code Stamp by North American Safety Valve Industries,Inc|November 25, 1980 letter]] was Task Action Plan Item I.G.1 Special Low Power Test Program. To meet this requirement, you should propose a special low power test program similar to those performed by the near term operating license applicants and meeting the following criteria:
1.
The tests should provide meaningful technical information beyond that obtained in the normal startup test program.
2.
The tests should provide supplemental operator training.
3.
The tests should not pose an undue risk to the public.
4.
The risk of damage to the nuclear plant during the test program should be low.
l To begin this review, we will require a brief summary of your proposed test program. We will review this summary and advise you of the acceptability of this program. This review will require approximately two weeks.
To complete our review of the special low power test program, we will require.(a) the procedures that will be used to cor. duct the tests and (b) a safety analysis of the test program. One or more meetings with Metropolitan Edison and B&W to resolve questions on the test procedure and die analysis may be necessary. When we have completed our review l
of this test program, we will issue a safety evaluation report addressing the' adequacy of the program in satisfying the four criteria listed above.
This portion of. Our review will require approximately four weeks.
I L
i Mr. H. D. Hukill Metropolitan Edison Company The schedules described above are contingent upon prompt responses by you and your vendor. Please provide a schedule for submittal of the required information after which we will formulate a review schedule.
If you would like to arrange a meeting to discuss this effort in more detail, please contact Harley Silver.
Sincerely,
