GPU Nuclear Post-Defueling Monitored Storage Quality Assurance Plan (PDMS QA Plan) for Three Mile Island Unit 2 17 3 of 37 INTRODUCTION At the completion of the TMI-2 Cleanup Program, the plant will be in a safe, stable condition that poses no risk to the health and safety of the public. The absence of any significant quantity or configuration of nuclear fuel assures that there is no potential for a nuclear criticality. This phase of plant life has been named Post-Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS) and is suitable for an extended period.

During the PDMS period, GPU Nuclear will be licensed under 10 CFR 50 to "possess but not to operate" the TMI-2 facility. Since the plant will be in a non-operating and defueled status, there will no longer be any structures, systems, or components that perform a safety function. Therefore, the quality assurance (QA) requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, do not specifically apply. However, this Plan has been developed to provide TMI-2 with an appropriate scope POMS QA Program based upon the guidance of Appendix B requirements. It replaces the "Recovery QA Plan for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2" and shall be implemented according to NRC approved License conditions.

This Plan has been structured to correspond to the 18 criteria format of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The Plan shall be applied, as necessary, to assure that safe and stable PDMS conditions are maintained, while complying with all pertinent Licensing and other regulatory requirements. The TMI-2 PDMS Safety Analysis Report (SAR) provides rationale concerning the applicability of various regulatory requirements and should be consulted when implementing the Plan.

Additionally, it is intended that the Plan be implemented to assure conformance with applicable 10 CFR 20; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H; and 49 CFR requirements. Any questions regarding the scope or interpretation of the Plan should be addressed to the Vice President GPU Nuclear Oversight for determination.

Existing GPU Nuclear organizations and approved nuclear QA programs may be utilized to fulfill the requirements of the PDMS QA Plan since they will meet or exceed its intent.

The NRC issued an Order approving the application regarding the proposed merger of GPU, Inc. and FirstEnergy Corp on March 7, 2001. As part of this order the it was recognized the holders of the TMI-2 license, GPU Nuclear, Metropolitan Edison Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company would become subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp. thus any reference to FirstEnergy in this plan are made based on this relationship.

The program encompasses both TMI-1 and TMI-2 and is under the authority of Exelon, the TMI-1 License holder.

The Fire Protection Program and implementing procedures at least once per 24 months.

An independent fire protection and loss prevention program inspection and technical audit shall be performed once per 24 months utilizing either qualified licensee personnel or an outside fire protection firm.

An inspection and audit of the fire protection and loss prevention program by an outside qualified fire consultant at intervals no greater than 3 years.

The 00CM and implementing procedures at least once per 24 months.

Any other area of unit operation considered appropriate by the POMS Manager, Vice President GPU Nuclear Oversight or the GPU Nuclear Cognizant Officer.

Although the audits can be performed as individual, discrete subject audits if desired, Exelon performs a TMI-2 comprehensive audit every 24 months encompassing all audit areas described in Appendix A, with the exception of the audit of the performance of QA Assessment activities provided by the PDMS contractor.

Audit Scheduling:

Audits may be extended beyond their originally scheduled due date based on the following criteria:

A. Audits shall be performed at the intervals designated above for each audit area. Schedules are based on the month in which the audit starts.

B. A maximum extension not to exceed 25 percent of the audit interval is allowed. That is to say that, for audits on a 24-month frequency, the maximum time between specific audits does not exceed 30 months.

C. When an audit interval extension greater that one month is used, the next audit for that particular audit area is scheduled from the original anniversary month rather than from the month of the extended audit.

D. Item B applies to supplier audits and evaluations except that a total combined interval for any three consecutive inspection or audit intervals does not exceed 3.25 times the specified inspection or audit interval.

GPU Nuclear Post-Defueling Monitored Storage Quality Assurance Plan (PDMS QA Plan) for Three Mile Island Unit 2 17 3 of 37 INTRODUCTION At the completion of the TMI-2 Cleanup Program, the plant will be in a safe, stable condition that poses no risk to the health and safety of the public. The absence of any significant quantity or configuration of nuclear fuel assures that there is no potential for a nuclear criticality. This phase of plant life has been named Post-Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS) and is suitable for an extended period.

During the PDMS period, GPU Nuclear will be licensed under 10 CFR 50 to "possess but not to operate" the TMI-2 facility. Since the plant will be in a non-operating and defueled status, there will no longer be any structures, systems, or components that perform a safety function. Therefore, the quality assurance (QA) requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, do not specifically apply. However, this Plan has been developed to provide TMI-2 with an appropriate scope POMS QA Program based upon the guidance of Appendix B requirements. It replaces the "Recovery QA Plan for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 2" and shall be implemented according to NRC approved License conditions.

This Plan has been structured to correspond to the 18 criteria format of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The Plan shall be applied, as necessary, to assure that safe and stable PDMS conditions are maintained, while complying with all pertinent Licensing and other regulatory requirements. The TMI-2 PDMS Safety Analysis Report (SAR) provides rationale concerning the applicability of various regulatory requirements and should be consulted when implementing the Plan.

Additionally, it is intended that the Plan be implemented to assure conformance with applicable 10 CFR 20; 10 CFR 71, Subpart H; and 49 CFR requirements. Any questions regarding the scope or interpretation of the Plan should be addressed to the Vice President GPU Nuclear Oversight for determination.

Existing GPU Nuclear organizations and approved nuclear QA programs may be utilized to fulfill the requirements of the PDMS QA Plan since they will meet or exceed its intent.

The NRC issued an Order approving the application regarding the proposed merger of GPU, Inc. and FirstEnergy Corp on March 7, 2001. As part of this order the it was recognized the holders of the TMI-2 license, GPU Nuclear, Metropolitan Edison Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company would become subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp. thus any reference to FirstEnergy in this plan are made based on this relationship.
