Dear Sir:

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1)

Operating License No. DPR-50 Docket No. 50-289 Health Physics Evaluation By letter dated April 28, 1981 (L1L 129) Met-Ed/GPU provided a status of actions taken in response to Unit 1 Health Physics Appraisal item 80-22-36 involving the development of representative counting source to be used in determining efficiencies for Radiological Controls counting equipment.

This letter provides the final follow-up response to the appraisal item.

In November, 1981, a meeting was held with NBS representatives to identify the most appropriate method of certifying representative counting sources.

NLS recommended that actual air samples be collected from both units and certified with a similar source obtained from NBS, thereby providing trace-ability to NBS.

Numerous air samples were obtained and calibrated against the NBS source as recommended. Based on these data, it has been determined that an absolute efficiency of 15% should be established for the Ludlum 2000/HP-210 counting equipment. For the gas flow proportional counter, it has been determined that an efficiency of 60% should be used based on the same data. The applicable procedures have been revised to impicment these efficiencies.

The results of the tests performed have been documented and are available for review by the NRC.

Sincerely, H. D.
