March 23, 1989 C311-89-2034 Mr. William T. Russell Region I, Regional Administrator U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 475 Allendale Road King of Prussia, PA 19406
Dear Mr. Russell:
Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1)
Operating License No. DPR-50 Docket No. 50-289 TMI-1 Technical and Safety Review Program GPUN letter C311-89-2013, dated February 22, 1989, provided comments on Inspection Report 88-32 regarding potent,ial revisions to Administrative Procedure AP-1001A to reflect guidance associated with the Corporate Procedure on Question No. 3 on the Safety Determination (SD) form.
This letter is to advise NRC that AP-1001A is being revised to provide the same specific wording of Question No. 3 on the SD form and the same clarification and guidance pertaining to answering this question as the current Corporate Procedure (1000-ADM-1291.01, Rev. 5). This revision will make AP-1001A consistent with 1000-ADM-1291.01 in this area.
Sincerely, H. D.

COMMENTS ON INSPECTI0'N REPORT 88-32 1.
Page 5, section 3.3.1 states in part:
" Future training lectures in this area will incor, orate more examples n
and increased class member involvement."
Comment Although this is recognized as potentially desirable for any area of training, we wish to clarify that a contmitment to specifically incorporate more examples and increased class participation in the TMI-1 Technical and Safety Review Program (TSRP) Training was not intended. We continuously assess training program effectiveness to determine possible enhancements, if needed.

Page 5, section 3.3.1 states in part:
"To ensure that TMI-1 personnel fully understand the guidance provided with question No. 3 on the SD form, the TSRP coordinator committed to review and revise AP-1001A prior to its implementation so that it would better reflect the guidance associated with the corporate procedure."
Comment The inspection report indicates that a commitment was made to revise AP-1001A. We feel this statement mischaracterizes the intent of our commitment to review suggested word changes regarding question No. 3 on the SD form. Our review of the proposed word changes determined that such a change did not provide a significant enhancement to understanding the existing procedural guidance on question No. 3 on the SD form, and it was decided not to revise the wording of question No. 3 prior to implementation. AP-1001A has been implemented as reviewed in draft form during the inspection. As permitted by corporate procedures, the specific wording of question No. 3 has been made specific to the TMI-1 Division such'that it is more applicable to the category of safety evaluations performed by the TMI-1 Division.
It is also important to recognize that the TMI-1 TSRP Training includes the same clarification ar.d guidance as the corporate procedure in this area. We feel that the guidance and intent of the corporate procedure is adequately addressed by the current revision of AP-1001A. We will continue to monitor the implementation of this procedure, and our experience will guide any future revisions.
