MAY 0 91986 Docket No: 50-29 GPU Nuclear Corporation ATTN: Mr. H. D. Hukill Vice President and Director of TMI-1 P. O. Box 480 Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057 Gentlemen:
Subject; Safeguards Regulatory Effectiveness Review at the Three Mile Island 1 Nuclear Power Station The NRC is in the process of conducting safeguards regulatory effectiveness reviews at certain nuclear power reactors.
I wish to inform you that the Three Mile Island 1 facility has been chosen for such a review during the week of June 9-13, 1986.
The prime purposes of the review program are to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the Three Mile Island 1 safeguards program and to determine whether existing safeguards regulations yield the level of protection intended by NRC. The review supports the NRC's quality assurance program for safeguards, both as it applies to the Three Mile Island 1 security system and to NRC's regulations.
The review will complement, but will be independent of, the licensing and inspection functions.
The review at Three Mile Island 1 will be conducted by a team with representatives from the NRC's Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS),
Division of Safeguards, NRC Region I, and U.S. Army Special Forces personnel from Fort Bragg, N.C. The review team will be comprised of two groups. One group will review the facility's safeguards from the perspective of an insider, while the other will review it through the eyes of an external adversary group.
The overail plan for the conduct of this review will be discussed at an entrance briefing on June 9,1986. You may wish to have a representative of your corporate staff present during this briefing as it will provide an overview of the team's objectives and anticipated activities during the review. Any questions that you may have concerning the team's review techniques or other matters should be addressed at that time.
For the remainder of the first day, the team would like to have a plant orientation tour, with emphasis on safeguards areas and systems, and begin the examination of plant vital areas. The second through fourth days will be dedicated to completing the review of vital areas and components, and reviewing the security force, access control system, and physical security systems. The last (fifth) day is reserved for any activities the team has been unable to accomplish earlier in the week and for a briefing of plant and corporate personnel on the preliminary results of the review.
