METROPOLITAN EDIS0N COMPANY, e M.)
Docket No. 50-320 OLA (Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2)
)
MODIFICATION OF ORDER I.
Metropolitan Edison Company (fiet Ed), Jersey Central Power and [}ght Company (JCP&L) and Pennsylvania Electric Company (PENELEC) (the Licensees) are r$e holders of Fu.ctlity Operating Licensa No. OPR-73, which had authorized operation of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station,.
Unit 2 (TMI-2) at power levels up to 2772 megawatts thermal.
The
.i.
facility, which is located in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, is a pressurized ster reactor previously used for the i
commercial generation of electricity.
~
[
By Order for Modification of License, dated July 20,1979, the Licensees' authority to operate the facility was suspended and the Licensees' i
authority was limited to maintenance of the facility in the present shutdown cooling mode.
44 Fed. Reg. 45271 (August 1,1979).
By further Order of I
the Director, Office of Muclear Reactor Regulation, dated February 11, 1980, a new set of fomal license requirements was imposed to reflect the I
post-accident condition of the facility and to assure the continued maintenance of the current safe, stable, long-tem cooling condition of I

the facility.
45 Fed. Reg. 11282 (February 20,1980).
These require-ments were.memorializac in the fann of proposed Technical Specifications
. set forth in an attachment to the Order.
II.
By Amendment No.18 to Facility Operating License No. OPR-73, issued concurrently with this Modification of Order, GPU Nuclear Corporation
("GPUNC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Public Utilities
~
Corporation (GPU), has replaced Met Ed as the sole Licensee authorized to operate TMI-2.
The three original Licensees continue, however, t6' be
~
owners of the facility and, although GPUNC becomes a licensee of the facility, all of its funding is provided by aNd its financial obligations assumed by Met Ed, JCP&L, and PENELEC.
Since the organizational structure of GPUNC differs in some respects from that of Met Ed, certain proposed Technical Specifications are being modified to reflect changes in title.
These modifications do not alter the substance of the specifications in any manner.
The Staff has prepared a Safety Evaluation in support of Amendment No. 18.
This evaluation concluded in material part, that the modification proposed in the Anendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration and-that there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered thereby.
It was further determined that the Triendaent does not authorize a change in effluent types or tocal amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact and, pursuant
~
~
to 10 C.F.R. I 51.5(d)(4), that an environnental impact appraisal need not be prepared herewith.
On the basis of that Safety Evaluation, the Staff has also concluded i
that the Amendment to the license and the conforming changes to the i
proposed Technical Specifications will strengthen the Licensees' organization i
for the continued maintenance of the safe shutdown condition of the facility and for i+s recovery.
As such, the public health, safety, and interest j
warrant the effectiveness of the Amendment and Modification of Order on t
January 1,1982.

III.
Accordingly, pursuant to the Atomic Ene:7y Act of 1954, as amended,'
