SUBJECT:

INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM (SECOND TEN YEAR INTERVAL)

On October 3,1986, the NRC staff issued a safety evaluation of the Three Mile Island Unit 1 (TMI-1) Inservice Testing (IST) Program for the second ten-year -

interval. This safety evaluation granted some reliefs requested from Code-requirements and denied others. It also contained open items to be resolved.

On_ December 24, 1986,'you submitted a supplemental _ update of the IST Program for THI-1 to resolve open issues and obtain additional relief.

Based upon results of our review, as described in the enclosed Safety Evaluation (SE), we conclude that GPUN's IST Program for the second ten-year interval-is consistent with the ASME Code incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 50.55a(b) as of 12 months before September 1984. We have also determined that requested relief from Code requirements cannot be granted in all cases. Certain requests are acceptable, but others will require 4 compliance with Code requirements or alternate testing. All evaluations and conclusions documented in the SE are those of the NRC staff. It should be noted however, that pumps and valves of the fire protection system were not reviewed and, as such, not addressed by the SE.

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(1), relief is granted in some cases and denied in others as described in the SE. We have determined that granting of relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest considering the burden' upon GPUN Corporation that could result if the requirements were imposed on TMI-1.

Sincerely, l

/S/
