Enclosure REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, JET PUMP OPERABILITY SURVEILLANCE AND CORRECTION TO REFERENCE CITED IN TS 4.11.C.1 In your application dated December 10, 2002, as replaced by application dated January 30, 2003, you reference the guidance in NUREG-1434, Standard Technical Specifications (STS) for BWR/6 in your proposed change instead of the requirements in NUREG-1433, STS for BWR/4, at several sections in the submittal. In BWR/6 plants, flow control valves are used rather than the variable pump speed for recirculation flow control. Pilgrim utilizes the variable pump speed design for flow control. Please provide an explanation of why Entergy proposes the use of the jet pump operability requirements in NUREG-1434, STS for BWR/6, rather than STS for BWR/4. Please address the impact, if any, of the difference in flow control for the pumps on your proposed changes.
