Dear Mr. Knubel:

I

, On November 6,1996, the NRC staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Three Mile Island Nuclear Station. The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. The results are used by NRC management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection  !

resources. The PPR for TMl involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating j inspection results and safety performance information for the period August 4,1996, to  ;

November 6,1996. PPRs provide NRC management with a current summary of licensee i performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance l

(SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM) reviews, i This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the TMI PPR review.

It is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. The i enclosure details our inspection plan for the next six months. The rationale or basis for each l inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so the.t you are aware of the reason l for emphasis ir.these program areas. Resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
