APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION GPU Nuclear Corporation Docket No. 50-289 Three Mile Island Nuclear Station License No. DPR-50 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 4 - 8,1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions",10 CFR Pan 2, Appendix C (1993), the violation is listed below:
