Subject:

Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 (TMI-1)

Operating License No. DPR-50 Docket No. 50-289 '

Technical Specification Change Request (TSCR) No. 237 QA Audit frequencies In accordance with 10 CFR 50.4(b)(1), enclosed is Technical Specif_ication Change Request No. 237.

Also enclosed is the Certificate of Service for this request certifying service to the chief executives of the township and county in which the facility is located, as well as the designated official of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Radiation Protection.

The purpose of this TSCR is to request the deletion of the audit program frequency requirements from the Technical Specifications and to utilize the Operational Quality Assurance (00A) Plan as the controlling document. This change will introduce flexibility into audit scheduling to consider plant activities and performance.

The 00A Plan is part of GPU Nuclear's Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and subject to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(a). A formal review of the changes was conducted considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(a). The review concluded that measures being introduced enhance the overall program.

However, in a quantitative sense, the changes represent a reduction in committment. Therefore, the changes to the 0QA Plan are being submitted with this TSCR for review and approval. The 10 CFR 50.54(a) analysis and the revised 0QA Plan pages are attached. Furthermore, since the 0QA Plan applies equally to the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, a TSCR to Operating-License No. DPR-16 is being submitted concurrently. If the amendments are approved, GPU Nuclear will submit similar changes to the TMI Unit 2 Technical Specifications and the PDMS QA Plan.

GPU Nuclear considers this TSCR to be a Cost Beneficial Licensing Action (CBLA). It is estimated that implementation of this change could result in a savings c' " 'r

-014an for tha riuration of the current license.
