Docket No. 50-289

50-320

GPU Nuclear Corporation

ATTN: Mr. H. D. Hukill

Vice President and Director, TMI-1

Attn: Mr. R. L. Long

Vice President and Director, TMI-2

P. O. Box 480

Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057

Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection Report Nos. 50-289/90-15 and 50-320/90-8.

During the period from August 7, 1990 to September 21, 1990, members of the NRC

Region I staff conducted routine safety inspections at the Three Mile Island

Nuclear Station. At the conclusion of the inspection period, Mr. D. Beaulieu,

of my staff, summarized the inspection findings to Mr. Hukill for Unit 1 and

Mr. Kuehn for Unit 2.

Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that two items concerning

procedures were not in full compliance with NRC requirements as set forth in

the enclosed Notice of Violation. A surveillance procedure failed to provide

adequate guidance in establishing the initial conditions for testing of a

Reactor Protection System function which could have resulted in a Reactor

Protection System function not being fully tested. Also, a maintenance

procedure stated that a specific checklist be performed to verify the alignment

of redundant safety equipment when taking a component out of service.

No

checklist existed and none was performed.

In both cases, the weaknesses in the

procedures existed for an extended period without action by your staf f to

address the problem.

Your cooperation in these matters is appreciated.
