PVNGS Page 6 of 6 RECORD OF REVISIONS REVISION NUMBER REVISION DATE REASON REVISED COMMENTS 1

9/18/02 6

JPM A1-2 changed to state: recover a foreign material from the spent fuel pool vice CEA material from the refuel pool to coincide with the guidance in the Sensitive Issues Manual.

JPM B5 was changed from a Radiation Monitoring category to an I&C category. The original item was considered an Admin JPM and not suitable. The new JPM Take corrective action for high NI count rate better reflects the criteria for this area.

Scenario C-1 was altered such that the fuel bundle is in transit from the spent fuel pool to containment instead of containment to the spent fuel pool. This was necessary to support the original requirements for the JPM.

Scenario C-2 second event was changed from Loss of fuel pool level to Severe Thunderstorm Warning Issued with a High ARM reading. Loss of fuel pool level is already taken credit for in the written exam.

REASON REVISED Enter the numbers corresponding to the reason revised in the Reason Revised column and brief description of changes in Comments Column. Comments are to be numbered consecutively in each revision.
