Dear Dr. Snyder:
Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (TMI-2)
Operating License No. DPR-73 Docket No. 50-320 10 CFR 50.61 Exemption Request New rulemaking, promulgated as 10 CFR 50.61, " Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events",
and issued on July 23, 1985, imposes certain requirements on licensees with respect to pressurized thermal shock (PTS) events.
Specifically, Paragraph (b)(1) of this rule requires licensees to submit projected values for Reference Temperature, pressurized thermal shock (RTPTS), by January 23, 1986. Additiorially, Paragraph (b)(3) of this rule requires the licensee to sutxnit, by April 23, 1986, an analysis and schedule for implementation of a flux reduction program if the projected values are expected to exceed PTS screening criterion at any time during the life of the plant.

Dr. B. J. Snyder August 27, 1985 4410-85-L-0174 Because of the unique shutdown condition of TMI-2, (i.e., the reactor vessel head has been removed and the reactor coolant system, which is open to the reactor building atmosphere, is no longer capable of retaining pressure), the potential for a PTS is not a concern during the recovery period.
Based on the above rationale, GPU Nuclear requests an exemption from 10 CFR 50.61(b)(1) and (3). In the event a decision is made to restore' TMI-2 to an operable condition, GPU Nuclear will comply with the PTS requirements specified in the amendment to Paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 50.34 which applies to operating license applications.
Per the requirements of 10 CFR 170, an application fee of $150.00 is enclosed for review of this docunent.
Sincerely,
