s February 9, 1987 Mr. F. R. Standerfer Vice President / Director Three Mile Island Unit 2 GPU Nuclear Corporation P.O. Box 480 Middletown, Pennsylvania 17057

Subject:

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2 Operating License No. DPR-73 '

Docket No. 50-320 Approval of Exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix A \

General Design Criteria 17 and 19 We have reviewed your request dated December 10, 1986, for exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 17 and 19, regarding provisions for onsite electric power systems and control rooms. As discussed in the enclosed Exemption, TMI-2 is in long-term cold shutdown and is precluded from power operation. In this mode and because of the current [

condition of the facility, no actions on the part of control room personnel are (

required to maintain the facility in a safe shutdown condition. Therefore, continuous manning of the control room is not necessary under accident condi-tions and continuous operability of the control room emergency air cleanup system need not be provided by an onsite backup emergency power source.

Additionally, as the control room emergency air cleanup system represents the only remaining load on the emergency diesel generators that was formerly important to safety, the diesel generators are no longer needed as an onsite electric power source necessary for maintenance of TMI-2 in a safe shutdown condition. We conclude that your request for exemption from GDC 17 and 19 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A is appropriate and acceptable, as stated in the enclosed Exemption. Please note that a partial exemption to GDC 19 has been granted, consistent with your request. This Fyemption and the accompanying environmental assessment have been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publi-cation.

Sincerely, W liia D. Travers, Director TMI-2 Cleanup Project Directorate Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
