Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

_.(Region I-NRC) gram is to confirm the telecon between i.ec Spessard This tele and G. A. Kunder (Unit I Supervisor of Operatl1ons.

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station) at 1900 Hours.13 November 1975.

Violation of the Environmental Technical Specification 2.1.b.(2) 111 that the terperature differential between inlet and discharge. . .temperatum changed at a rate in excess of 2*F/hr.

.Review of the effluent temperature and a T recorder indicated that during the one (1) hour period. 0650 to 0750 hours0.00868 days <br />0.208 hours <br />0.00124 weeks <br />2.85375e-4 months <br />, the net

,.change in effluent temperature was.3*F which was l'F/hr. in excess of the limit of 2*F/hr. -

The plant was in the cooldown mcde and the decay heat system was

.placed into service iceediately prior to the occurrence. The additional

lheat load imposed on the effluent water was not monitored closely i enough by the operator and the late untimely response of adjusting the Mechanical Draft Cooling Tower fan combination to compensate for the temperature change resulted in exceeding the 2*F/hr. limit.

Plant operating procedures will be reviewed to determine if

-additional guidance is necessary to assure personnel are more rigorously 1547 359 i---....--. ---. . ,. ...,...'-P00R ORGINAL gooro3~~'-
