September 18, 2002 Mr. Anthony Pietrangelo Nuclear Energy Institute 1776 I Street, N. W.
Suite 400 Washington, DC 20006-3708
Dear Mr. Pietrangelo:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its review of the Nuclear Energy Institute Technical Specification Proposed Change Traveler, TSTF-415, Six Hour Test Allowance. The proposed changes add Notes to the SR Tables for LCO 3.3.3.1, LCO 3.3.3.2 and LCO 3.3.8.2, and for NUREG-1433 only - LCO 3.4.6, and for NUREG-1434 only -
LCO 3.4.7, to allow a delay in entering the associated Conditions and Required Actions for up to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> when a channel is inoperable solely for the performance of required Surveillance.
The staff reviewed the justification provided for the proposed changes. A Completion Time is the appropriate method for managing risk when equipment is made inoperable. Ideally, such a completion time would be risk-informed. We would be glad to review proposals that meet this guidance. This completes our review of TSTF-415.
Please contact Robert Dennig at (301) 415-1156 or e-mail rld@nrc.gov if you have any questions or need further information on these proposed changes.
Sincerely,
/RA/
