Unit 2)

AMENDMENT OF ORDER I.
GPU Nuclear Corporation, Metropolitan Edison Company, Jersey Central Power and Light Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company (collectively, the Licensee) are the holders of Facility Operating License No. DPR-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 facility, which is located in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, is a pressurized water reactor previously used for the commercial generation of electricity.
By Order for Modification of License, dated July 20, 1979, the Licensee's authority to operate the facility was suspended and the Licensee's authority was limited to maintenance of the facility in the present shutdown cooling mode (44 Fed. Reg. 45271).
By further Order of the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, dated February 11, 1980, a new set of formal license requirements was imposed to reflect the post-accident condition of the facility and to assure the continued maintenance of the current safe, stable, long-term cooling condition of the facility (45 Fed. Reg.11282).

I l.
Although these requirements were imposed on the licensee by an Order of the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, dated February ll,1980, the TMI-2 license has not been formally amended.
The requirements are reflected in the proposed Recovery Mode Technical Specifications presently pending before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
Hereafter in this Amendment of Order, the requirements in question are identified by the applicable proposed Technical Specification.
II.
By letter dated March 5,1982, the licensee proposed changes to the super-visory authority under which TMI-2 Radiological Control Technicians (Rad.
Con Tech.) training currently falls.
The licensee has requested that Rad. Con. Tech, training be removed from the cognizance of the Supervisor-Station Training, as presently required in TMI-2 Appendix A Technical Specification 6.4.1 and placed instead under the authority of the Vice-President for Radiological and Environmental Control.
Actual implementation of on-site training will be carried out under tne direction of the Radiological Controls Department.
The staff has found this change to be acceptable.
The staff's safety assessment of this matter is set forth in the concurrently issued Safety Evaluation.
This evaluation concluded, in material part, that the modification 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 by operation in the modified manner.
Prior public notice of this Amendment of Order is therefore not required and the action is effective upon issuanca.
3 It was further determined that the modification does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact.
In light of this determination, it was concluded that the instant action is insignificant from the stan point d
of environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR 851.5 (d)(4), that an environ-mental impact statement or environmental impact appraisal and negative declaration need not be prepared herewith.
III.
Accordingly, pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, the Director's Order of February 11, 1980, is hereby revised to incorporate the deletions, additions, and modifications. set forth in Attachment A hereto.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) Letter to B. Snyder, USNRC, from R. Arnold, GPU Nuclear, Technical Specification Change Request No. 28 dated March 5,1982 and (2) The Director's Order of February 11, 1980.
