Docket No. 50-320 Mr. M. B. Roche Vice President / Director, TMI-2 GPU Nuclear Corporation P. O. Box 480 Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057

Dear Mr. Roche:

I

SUBJECT:

THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 2 - LOWER CORE SUPPORT AND LOWER HEAD DEFUELING (TAC 67857) j The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed your June 6, 1988, i

submittal pertaining to the defueling of the Lower Core Support Assembly (LCSA) and Lowe,' Head (LH) as well as subsequent supporting submittals. As stated in j

the enclosed Safety Evaluation issued by the staff, we conclude that the i

proposed activities can be accomplished without significant risk to the health I

and safety of the public prcvided that they are in accordance with the limita-tions stated in your submittals and in the staff's Safety Evaluations.

The f

elliptica flow distributor shall be left intact outward of the mid-line of the l

"P" row of fuel assemblies to protect the portion of the lower head immediately i

below from potential load impacts.

If visual inspection verifies that the l

lower head in this area it undamaged or that erosion is less than 1/2 inch in

{

depth, this restric+, ion is removed.

Defueling of the LCSA and LH falls within the scope of activities previously

[

l considered in the "Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement." We, therefore, L

approve the defueling of the LCSA and LH as described in your Safety Evaluation Report subject to the limitations discussed above.

[

Sincerely, I
