ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS Y
UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION WASHINGTON. D.C.
April 12,1968 Honorable Glenn T. Seaborg Chairman U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Washington, D. C. 20545 REPORT ON THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 1 4
Subject:
k
Dear Dr. Seaborg:
?
At its ninety-sixth meeting, on April 4-6, 1968, the Advisory t
Committee on Reactor Safeguards completed its re-examination I
of the application by Metropolitan Edison Company to construct the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Unit 1.
The Three Mile J
Island Nuclear Station Unit I was the subject of a report to j
~
you dated January 17, 1968. The review was re-opened at the j
ninety-fifth ACRS meeting, on March 7-9, 1968, in consideration
.i
[}
of an additional submittal by the applicant evaluating further the effects of the proximity of the Olmsted State Airport.
The Committee has had the benefit of discussions with repre-
,t lp sentatives of Metropolitan Edison Company, Babcock and Wilcox j!
Company, Gilbert Associates, and the AEC Regulatory Staff and their consultants. The additional documents submitted are i;
l ';
listed in this report.
Although the probability of an airplane hitting the station J
i is very small, the applicant has undertaken to provide principal structures and components of the station with the capability of withstanding aircraft strike loadings over a range of condi-tions, including effects such as secondary missiles, fire, and pressure and temperature effects. The reactor building, control j }-
building, fuel handling building, auxiliary building, and interme-diate building will have the necessary modifications to assure i
the capability of bringing the plant to a safe shutdown condition.
