Dear Sirs:

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

Operating License No. DPR-73 Docket No. 50-320 Revision 3 to the TMI-2 Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program Attached (Attachment 1) is Revision 3 of the "TMI-2 Licensed Operator Requalification Program" 7821-PGD-2613. This revised program reflects the current training needs for the TMI-2 facility and reduces the scope of the current licensed operator requalification program; therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54 (1-1), this program is submitted for your review and approval. A discussion of the specific scope reductions is provided in Attachment 2.

Additionally, GPU Nuclear intends to delete the TMI-2 Fuel Handling Senior Reactor Operator (FHSRO) Training Program, 7821-PGD-2614, Revision 1. This program currently encompasses both initial and requalification training of FHSR0s. Initial training of the FHSR0s has been completed; requalification training of the FHSR0s has been incorporated into the attached revision to the TMI-2 Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program. Attachment 3 identifies reductions in scupe to the current FHSRO Training Program. l In addition to the above reductions in scope, the following exceptions to 10 CFR 55.59, "Requalification," are noted.

o Requalification Program Requirements - Lectures <

10 CFR 55.59(c)(2), "Requalification Program Requirements,"

subsections (iv) and (v) respectively require lecture topics for

" Plant Protection Systems" and " Engineered Safety Systems" as part of the licensed operator requalification program.

In lieu of this requirement, the monitoring capabilities of the TMI-2 installed systems are addressed under " Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems" in Attachment 1 to the Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program. The Reactor Protection Systems at TMI-2 have been disabled and are used for plant monitoring. The monitoring capabilities of the installed systems are addressed in

" Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems." The " Engineered Safety Systems" at TMI-2 have also been disabled and training on these systems is not included in this program. This exception was previously contained in Revision 2 to the TMI-2 Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program (reference GPU Nuclear letter 4410-84-L-0138 dated September 15, 1984).

o Requalification Program Requirements - On-The-Job Training h 10 CFR 55.59(c)(3)(1), subsections (A) to (AA) specify control manipulations that are require to be performed as part of the on-the-job training for the licensed operator requalification program.

In lieu of the above requirement, Attachment 2 to the TMI-2 Licensed Operator Requalification Training Program identifies the abnormal and emergency evolutions that are applicable to TMI-2. These evolutions provide a more meaningful requalification training program for the TMI-2 licensed operators. Additionally, the requalification program specifies completion of the evolutions through the plant drill program. GPU Nuclear believes this to be acceptable per 10 CFR 55.59(c)(4)(iv), " Evaluation," which states: "The requalification program must include...(iv) simulation of emergency or abnormal conditions that may be accomplished by using the control panel of the facility involved or by using a simulator. Where the control panel of the facility is used for simulation, the action taken or to be taken for the emergency or abnormal conditions shall be discussed; actual manipulation of the plant controls is not required."

It is noteworthy that GPU Nuclear will be submitting, under separate cover, an exemption request from various portions of 10 CFR 55 due to the unique safe-shutdown conditions of TMI-2.

Per the requirements of 10 CFR 170, an application fee of $150.00 is enclosed.

Sincerely,
