Dear Sirs:

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (TMI-2)

Operating License No. DPR-73 Docket No. 50-320 Criticality Safety Evaluation for Increasing the TMI-2 Safe Fuel Mass Limit Attached for NRC review is the Criticality Safety Evaluation for Increasing the TMI-2 Fuel Mass Limit. This analysis demonstrates that the critical mass for TMI-2 fuel can be increased from the current administrative limit of 70 kg to 140 Kg.

The attached evaluation will be used as a baseline document in support of evaluations of future defueling activities and the Defueling Completion Report.

It will be used to demonstrate subcriticality in the various areas of TMI-2 and that transition from Facility Mode 1 to Facility Mode 2, as defined by the TMI-2 Technical Specifications, can take place.

Sincerely, o-w M. B. Roc Director, TMI-2 RDW/ emf Attachment cc:

D. M. Johnson - Acting Senior Resident Inspector, TMI W. T. Russell - Regional Administrator, Region I J. F. Stolz - Director, Plant Directorate I-4 L. H. Thonus - Project Manager, TMI Site of 8902230288 890213 fDR ADOCK 05000320
