Other Topics Discussed:
TSTF-225 was revisited. TSB advised the BWOG to contact the technical staff to help facilitate closure on this issue. Currently, RTSB does not intent to include TSTF-225 in STS Rev. 2.
TSTF-358 and TSTF-359, the "risk-informed" TS traveler, will be submitted in the first week in August.
A schedule for STS Rev. 2 was established as follows:
July 17 TSB/EXCEL meeting to resolve editorial issues; August 4 Issue and post to the Internet all TSTFs (excluding TSTF-360) that will be incorporated into STS Rev 2; September 6 TSTF will provide comments to the latest draft STS Rev. 2 September 15 Meet with EXCEL to resolve any outstanding issues.
Post Rev. 2 maintenance and revision process to the STS was discussed. It was agreed that a change control process should be in place prior to issuing STS Rev. 2.
Staff presented its concerns regarding CE RTT Topical Adoption process. The staff informed Mr. Webber, the Combustion Engineering Owners Group (CEOG) representative to the TSTF, that the safety evaluation for topical report CE NPSD-1167, "Elimination of Pressure Sensor Response Time Testing Requirements, Rev. 2" (enclosure 6) will be issued shortly. Calvert Cliffs has a license amendment submitted to the NRC that references the topical report and Arizona Public Service Company also intends to submit a license amendment adopting this topical. The staff has not received a submittal from the TSTF with the proposed changes to standard technical specifications. Mr. Webber, replied that the TSTF plans to submit a TSTF traveler as soon as possible, probably within the next 2-3 weeks. The staff stated that they would expedite the review of the TSTF traveler.
There was a short discussion on the use of the CLIIP to process TSTF changes. The staff and TSTF generally agreed that all (or nearly all) TSTF changes approved in the future would be noticed for comment and made available using the CLIIP (i.e., the threshold for TSTF changes would be the same as the threshold for items entered into the CLIIP). TSTF changes with a high degree of interest will probably be processed individually using the CLIIP while some TSTF changes would be bundled (i.e., a number of TSTF changes would be noticed for comment and availability at the same time). In regard to previously approved TSTFs, the staff stated that it was depending on the industry to propose items for using CLIIP. The TSTF might review changes approved before Revision 2 of the STS NUREGs and request that the CLIIP be applied to some individual approved TSTFs or groups of approved TSTFs (e.g., bundle previously approved TSTFs by the affected TS Sections).
