SUBJECT:
Revised Generic Letter 2003-01, Control Room Habitability Commitments This letter modifies and deletes commitments made in the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) response (Reference 3) to Generic Letter 2003-0 1, Control Room Habitability (Reference 2). The commitments were related to a future license amendment request (LAR) revising the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (FCS) Technical Specifications (TSs) to incorporate changes proposed in Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-448, Control Room Habitability.
The first commitment noted in Reference 3 was to submit a LAR within 120 days of the NRCs best and final offer on TSTF-448. This terminology was suggested by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to licensees in order to expedite licensing action submittals without waiting for final NRC approval of TSTF-448. The phrase best and final offer is open to interpretation, especially in light of continuing discussion of significant TSTF-448 content, and lack of finalization and approval by the NRC. Therefore, OPPD is revising the commitment to state that OPPD will submit a LAR within 120 days of NRC approval of TSTF-448. This will enable OPPD to submit a LAR that more accurately reflects the approved TSTF, and will facilitate LAR review and approval for both OPPD and the NRC.
The second commitment in Reference 3 stated that OPPD would finalize the Standing Order SO-G-115, FCS Control Room Integrity Program prior to submittal of the LAR.
(TSTF-448 introduces a new specification requiring the establishment of a Control Room Integrity Program to ensure that control room integrity is maintained for radiological, toxic gas, and smoke events.) Based again on the lack of finalization for TSTF-448, this commitment is unnecessary and should be deleted.
The third and final commitment identified in Reference 3 was to implement the license amendment and SO-G-115 within the period requested in the LAR. This commitment is unnecessary and should be deleted, because amendment implementation is an established and required practice associated with all LARS.
