SUBJECT:
THREE MILE ISLAND 1 APPENDIX J EXEMPTION REQUEST i-(AITS F14698H2)
Reference:
Memo for Keppler from Thornburg dated April 25, 1978 with Enclosure In August 1975 NRR requested that all power reactor facilities with an gr. :.-
operating license determine if they were in full compliance with 10 CFR r."
50 Appendix J.
If not in compliance, plants were requested to provide i
a schedule for achieving compliance or request an exemptior. A reply t
was requested within 30 days.
Three Mile Island 1 (TMI-1) replied on September 17, 1975 ar.d among other items requested that their Deca) 'es t S from the Type C test required by III.A.I.(d) ystem Valves be exempted of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J (AppJ). TMI-1 is again (after the April 1978 CILRT) required by
!!!.A.1.(d) to perfom a Type C test on the Decay Heat Valves. They do not plan to test them, citing their exemption request and the fact that i
they believe it is not technically feasible for their plant to test these valves.
1 Region I believes that a delay in excess of 2 years is unacceptable.
l since the licensee is currently not in full compliance with the regu-lations and has no exemption request approved.
