GPU Nuclear' Corporation .

-ATTN: -Mr. E. E. Kintner ,

f Executive Vice President s 100.Interpace Parkway N Parsippany, NJ 07054 g

(

Gentlemen:

. sq We have completed our review of your request dated November 20, 1986, for a' total and permanent exemption from the annual fee requirements of*,'#.

10 CFR 171 for Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 (TMI-2). . The basic justi- f fication for your requ'est was that TMI-2's license is analogous to a ~'

- - " possession.only" Llicense and the reactor should be considered a "zero" power reactor since'it is incapable' of producing electrical energy; the authority to operate it was revoked by the NRC in 1979. ThereforeJ it

~

is your position that GPU receives the same limited benefits for TM!'2 , '/

from NRC's generic programs as "possessim only" licensees who are already exempted from the annual fees of? 10 CFR 17,1 ,f.

Based on cur evaluation of your request in accordince wit $ythe pro-visions of 10 CFR 171.11, we have determined that an exemption from the annual fee requirements of 10 CFR 171 for TMI-2 should be;qranted. This 4 exemption is limited to FY 1987 only and is not a permarent extmption .

for THI-2. ~ ~

] C .- .,

Our. evaluation took into consideration the fut that 7#!-f is a' unique /

. case for which the authority to operate was reduced in 1979 to main-o taining the reactor in a' " shutdown condition". In addition, your plan myg for monitored storage after cleanup has been submitted for NRC review.

-oa This plan provides for removal of-the reactor fuel from the oite and 88 plant systems and placing it in. dry storage and has no provisions9 for Q$ refurbishment of the reactor for restart. 4, z e s .

06 Consistent with the requirements of 19 CFR 171.19, your Corpordyon paid'

@@ the FY 1987 first quarterly payment pfA237,500. Since you have beer. A s m< exempted from the annual fees for FY 1317, we are taking the nemssary , " ,

E steps to refund 'to you the $237,500 payment.' This refund will\be Rg accomplished by electronic transfer within a week after your receipt of ('n maa this letter. ,

Sincerely, g Distribution: .
