supported by reliable, substantial and probativeevidence. See PID 11 630-705.

See Licensee's Brief in Support of its Exceptions to the Atomic!Safety and Licensing Board's Partial Initial Decision on PlantDesign and Procedures, Separation, and Emergency Planning Issues,March 10, 1982.

In an order for Modification of License, dated December 10,1982, the NRC Staff directed Licensee to install at TMI-l aninstrumentation system to detect inadequate core cooling, including,inter alia, a reactor coolant inventory tracking system. See 47Fed. Reg. 57163 (December 22, 1982) (attached). Similar orderswere issued to other licensees with plants of B&W design. Licenseehas decided not to request a hearing on the order, and the deadlinefor filing such a request has passed. Thus, the Order has becomeieffective, pursuant to section V of the Order, and Licensee willinstall a reactor coolant inventory tracking system of a designand on a schedule which results from the Staff review of thetechnical information to be filed by Licensee in response to

t

| the Order.

l Consequently, there is no longer a contest between Licenseeand the Staff in this proceeding on the implementation of NUREG-t0737 Item II.F.2, the subject of Licensee Exception No. 1. In|

I view of the Order for Modification of License, Licensee proposesthat an appropriate disposition of the exception now would beto vacate the Licensing Board's recommended long-term conditionas unnecessary.

Respectfully submitted,
