NOTICE OF VIOLATION

GPU Nuclear Corporation

Docket Nos. 50-289

-

Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station

50-320

.

.

As a result of the inspection conducted on July 20-24, 1987, and in accordance

with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C) the following violation

was identified:

,

A.

Item V of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 requiro3 Itcensees who are authorized to

"

operate a nuclear power facility to submit any changes to the emergency

'

plan or procedures to the Commission as specified in 10 CFR 50.4(b)(5)

within 30 days of such changes.

.

Contrary to the above, GPU Nuclear Corporation failed to submit to the NRC

Revisions 1-04 "effective June 2,1987" and 1-03 (no effective date given)

t

of "Operation of the Parsippany Technical Functions Center,"

GPUN RESPONSE

Prior to this violation, GPUN interpreted the requirements of 10 CFR 50.4 to

i

r

apply strictly to procedures categorized as Emergency Plan Implementing

'

Procedures (EPIP). Procedure 5000-ADM-3054.01, "Operation of the Parsippany

.

Technical Functions Center (PTFC)," is a procedure controlled and distributed

!

,

by the Technical Functions Division which had been previously categorized as

"

i

an EPIP. Technical Functions considered this an engineering procedure rather

J

than an emergency plan implementing procedure and did not distributt this

i

procedure in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.4

-

I

Once identified by the NRC inspector, Procedure 5000-ADM-3054.01 was

l

immediately distributed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.4(b)(5) via GPUN letter

5211-87-2147 dated July 24, 1987.

i

S:bsequently, a review was conducted to ensure a similar situation did not

exist regarding other procedures.

It was determined from this review that the

THI-1 Emergency Dose Calculation Manual (EDCM) and GPUN procct:re

8200-ADM-1720.02 Emergency Public Information Plan and Procedure (this

,

,

J

procedure was under development at the time of the review) could also be

j

considered emergency plan implementing procedures.

Both of these procedures have been forwarded to the NRC in accordance with

10 CFR 50.4 and action has been taken to ensure that future revisions will be

forwarded to the NRC.
