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 of 10 CFR 50,be exempted 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. ' ' '
