REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THREE MTLE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1 (TMI-1)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST N0. 112, REV. 1 (REFEPENCE II 1.
The definition for "nember(s) of the public* in proposed TS 1.22 is different than the definition in the Standard Technical Specifications (STS). The definition in the STS includes persons who use portions of the j
site for recreational, occupational or other purposes not associated with the plant. Explain why the preceding individuals should not be considered " member (s) of the public," or adopt the definition in the STS.

GPU proposes to change the applicability for the surveillance requirements for the instrumentation used to monitor the Containment Purge Vent System and the Condenser Vent System (e.g., see pages 4-91 and 4-93). GPU proposes that the surveillance requirements will only apply when the containment is being purged, or when condenser vacuum is established.
However, the STS state that the surveillance requirements should be j
applicable at all times. Provide a basis for concluding that the monitor-
)
ing system should not be required. to be tested prior to its use during containment purging or when condenser vacuum is established. Describe any circumstances in which it would be necessary, or desirable, to purge or j
vent and there would not be sufficient time to check, test, and/or cali-brate these instruments. Describe the benefits from relaxing this re-quirement. For example, will the relaxation of this requirement be compensated by a decrease in occupational exposure, or enhanced safety in the plant? Be quantitative to the extent feasible.
3.
GPU proposes to change the applicability for the minimum channels operable requirements and the " Action" statements for the instrumentation used to monitor: the Containment Purge Monitoring System and the Condenser Vent System (e.g., see pages 3-102, 3-103, and 3-105). GPU proposes that the f
operability requirements and the " Action" statements will only apply when the containment is being purged, or when condenser vacuum is established.
However, the STS state that the operability requirements and the " Action" statements should be applicable at all times. Provides a basis for enn-cluding that the monitorino system should not be required to.be operable 1
prior to its use during containment purging or when condenser vacuum is established. Although the current TS allows releases to continue even if the monitoring system is not operable (provided that grab samples are takeni, describe any problems with collecting grab samples that might either delay the purge or vent, or allow a purge or vent without proper sampling and analysis. Describe the benefits from relaxing this require-ment. For example, will the relaxation of this requirement be compensated by a decrease in occupational exposure, or enhanced safety in the plant?
Be quantitative to the extent feasible.

Explain why the quarterly channel test for the sample flow rate monitor for the Auxiliery and Fuel Handling Building Ventilation System is not necessary (i.e., page a-92, item 5.e).
