ABC Classifications a) Meet NRC Requirements (NRR) - Activities that a) must be carried out to fulfill specific NRC requirements or b) have been committed to the NRCby the company or c) are such that if not accomplished would result in an NRC norvcompliance even though the specific activity is not required by the NRC.
b) Meet Environmental Requirements (ERR) - Activities that a) are specifically required by environmental regulatory agencies (State and Federal) or b) have been committed to environmental agencies by the company or c) are such that if not accomplished would result in a regulatory noncompliance even though the specific activity is not required by an environmental regulatory agency.
c) Meet Other Requirements (ORR) -Activities not covered by the NRC or environmental requirements but that are required by local, state, or federal ordinances, codes, court order or law suit settlement, or other guidance to which tie company is committed or if not accomplished would result in a violation of that ordinance, code or guidance, court order, etc.
d) Increase Safety Marqins (ISM) - Activities that if implemented, will improve nuclear plant or personnel safety but are neither required for regulatory compliance nor required by safety regulation codes or guidance.
e) Decrease Environmental Effects (E)- Activities that, if implemented, will result in an improved environmental quality but are neither required for regulatory complnce nor required by environmental regulations, codes or guidance.
f) Improve Radiological Conditions (RAD) - Activities that, if implemented, will result in improved radiological conditions, lower man-rem exposure rates, or radwaste control/reduction but aie neither required for regulatory compliance nor required by radiological regulations, codes or guidance.
g) Maintain Reliability/Capabilit (MRC) - Activities that, if implemented, will maintain power production at existing levels by preventing deterioratim of plant systems or equipment.
Includes activities in response to national codes or standards, insurance policies, equipment vendor specifications or nuclear industry high unavailability equipment data without which the plant could not operate prudently h) Improve Reliability/Capability (REL) - Activities that, if implemented, will increase power generation by improving availability or capacity factor to maximize energy output.
i) Improve Operational Effectiveness(IOE) - Activities that, if implemented, wIl improve staff efficiency or provide a direct economic payback in terms of reduced operating/maintenance costs.
j) Improve Personnel Facilities (FAC) - Activities that, if implemented, will improve working conditions and the usefulness of personnel facilies.
ABC Classifications (continued)
k) Provide Contingency Blanket (CUI) - Activities that, if implemented, will provide management flexibility to respond in a timely manner to emergent work requirements or the ongoing requirements to procure, replace orrepair minor items essential to support routine operations.
I) Improves Heat Rate Performance(HRP) - Activities that, if implemented, will increase power production by enhancing the heat rate efficiency.
m) General Working Conditions (GWC) - Activities, tools, and equipment that if implemented will improve working conditions, but will not demonstrate a direct economic payback.
ATTACHMENT B TMI - 1 PROJECT LISTING INTEGRATED SCHEDULE ANNUAL UPDATE (February, 2004)
ATTACHMENT B CHANGES TO TMI - 1 NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION INTEGRATED SCHEDULE ANNUAL UPDATE (February, 2004)
Category 'A' Projects Additions: None Completions: Item 2 (description shown below), which was associated with TMI- 1 Technical Specification 2.1, has been removed from the Category "A' Projects list, effective October 20, 2003. This commitment was established via issuance of the NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) associated with TMI - 1 License Amendment No. 238, issued October 23, 2001.
Subsequently, the NRC SER associated with TMI - 1 License Amendment No. 247, issued October 20, 2003, allowed removal of this commitment.
The NRC SER section 3.1 reads in part: " ... The staff reviewed the licensee's methodology for determining the Thermal Design Limit (TDL) and determined that it contains sufficient margin to account for transition core effects as well as other cycle-specific requirements. The staff finds that the licensee has determined an appropriately conservative TDL and, therefore, removal of the commitment isacceptable."
- 2. A minimum Reactor Coolant System (RCS) flow rate of 105.5% of design flow (105.5% of 352,000 gpm) is specified to offset potential mixed core DNBR penalty for TMI Unit-1 Cycle 14 and any subsequent cycle. This commitment expires when a mixed core penalty is no longer required or NRC-approved statistical core design methods are utilized which provide an alternative means of addressing transition core effects.
