Docket No. 50-289

Mr. T. Gary Broughton

Vice President and Director, TMI-1

GPU Nuclear Corporat.on

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station

Post Office Box 480

Middletown, PA 17057-0191

Dear Mr. Broughton:

SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-289/93-14

This letter transmits the findings of the resident safety inspection conducted by Ms. M. Evans

and Mr. D. Beaulieu from June 22,1993 - July 31,1993, at the Three Mile Nuclear Station.

The inspectors based these findings on observations of activities, interviews, and document

reviews and discussed them with Mr. M. J. Ross and other members of your staff. Inspector

observations indicated safe and conservative operation.

Based on the results of this inspection, one of your activities appeared to be in violation of

NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). Due to an

inadequate surveillance procedure, the bolts for the 'B' emergency diesel generator (EDG)

lubricating oil filter cover were not properly torqued. As a result, the ability of the EDG to

continue to perform if called upon in an emergency was uncertain, because a repair under

very difficult conditions would have been required. You are required to respond to this letter

and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your

response.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and

its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Documec Room. The responses directed by

this letter and the enclosed Notice are not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of

Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Public Law

No. 96.511.
