The Nuclear Regulatory Comission hereby grants Metropolitan Edison Company,

.. Y W

et. al, an exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendistg'\\

Tor ~tTe Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 This exemption consists of relief from the reguirement to perform Type A, B, and C leakage tests on the THI-2 reactor building and is in response to your request of May 11, 1981.

This exemption does not provide relief from the requirements to leak test the air lock door seals in accordance with Appendix J, subsection III.D 2.b.iii within three days after the door has been opened. See Surveillance Require-ment 4.6.1.3.2 By performing the air lock door seal test, air lock integrity can be verified without the radiation hazards applicable to performing Type A, B, and C tests.

We have determined that the granting of this exemption involves an action which

(

is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and that there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not ce endangered by this action. Having made this determination, we have further concluded that pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5 (d) (4) an environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the granting of this exemption.

Copies of the related Safety Evaluation and the Notice of Issuance, which has been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication, are also enclosed.

Sincerely, Bernard J. Snyder, Program Director TMI Program Office Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 9
