GPU Nuclear Corporation 3J Nuclear =ggsfg8o 8 Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057 717 944-7621 TELEX 84-2386 Writer's Direct Dial Number:

717-948-8005 3200-83-544 November 15, 1983 Dr. T. E. Murley, Regional Administrator U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, PA 19406

Dear Sir:

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

Operating License No. DPR-50 Docket No. 50-289 LER 83-044 This telecopy is to confirm the conversation between Mr. R. Conte, NRC Senior Resident Inspector and Mr. M. Nelson, PRG Chairman, at 1610 hours0.0186 days <br />0.447 hours <br />0.00266 weeks <br />6.12605e-4 months <br /> on November 14, 1983.

l During a site walkdown by the Architect-Engineer, redundant circuits (RU-489 and RU-490) in the Emergency Feedwater auto initiation circuitry were found to be installed / routed in the same cable bundle and thus do not meet separation criteria for safety grade circuits. Since GPUN had previously notified the NRC that this circuitry had been upgraded to safety grade, this event is considered reportable under Technical Specification 6.9.2. A.9.

These cables will be separated to meet the applicable criteria in January, 1984. Further details will be provided in the 14 day followup report.
