CHANGE 412 -

FUEL MOVEMENT WITH INOPERABLE REFUELING EQUIPMENT INTERLOCKS (TAC NOS.

MB2590, MB2591, AND MB2592)

A telecon was held between TVA and the NRC staff on February 5, 2002, regarding the subject Technical Specification change request.

During that telecon, TVA agreed to add a statement to the Bases of TS LCO 3.9.1 to clarify the intention of the change proposed by TS-412.

The following statement will be added to the Bases for TS 3.9.1, Actions A.1, A2.1, and A2.2 when TS-412 is approved:

"It is not the intent of Actions A.2 to eliminate the first performance of SR 3.9.1.1 prior to in-vessel fuel movement.

It is expected that the refueling interlocks would be operable except for equipment failure or expiration of the required surveillance interval, and Actions A.2 would not be entered as a convenience for avoiding the first performance of SR 3.9.1.1."
