5.7.2d.2 and 5.7.2d.3(ii)
The proposed change is not acceptable for high radiation areas with dose rates in excess of I R/hr. The STS provides several options for licensees to use and provides adequate flexibility while still maintaining an adequate level of control over workers in high radiation areas. The proposed changes will reduce the level of control maintained by the TS.
5.7.1e and 5.7.2e The proposed change to "..when the knowledge of the dose rates must be made to the worker." is not accepted. The STS provides appropriate controls to ensure workers are adequately controlled and protected while working in high radiation areas. The STS allows time for the RP technician to evaluate the radiological hazard and brief the workers about the radiological conditions in the work area prior to the workers entering the high radiation area. The control is required to ensure that workers do not focus solely on the work to be performed but remain informed about radiological conditions. However, there has been alternate wording to the STS proposed by a licensee that was accepted by the staff in a licensee amendment. The approved alternate wording follows: "Except for individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures or personnel continuously escorted by such individuals, entry into such areas shall be made only after dose rates in the area have been determined and entry personnel are knowledgeable of them. These continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry into such areas. This dose rate determination and knowledge does not require documentation prior to initial entry." This alternate wording may be proposed by licensees in lieu of the STS. However, the wording of the STS will remain as issued.
We agree with the comment in 5.7.2.a.1, however, we do not fully understand it since the proposed words are the same as the standard TS (perhaps the standard TS was missing the [ for the designated positions).
5.7.2a The proposed change to substitute the word "inadvertent" for "unauthorized" is not accepted. High radiation area controls are divided into distinct modes of control; areas below I R/hr where barricades are acceptable to prevent inadvertent entry and areas above 1 R/hr where the radiological [hazard] is significantly greater and thus requires the use of locked doors which are not only intended to prevent inadvertent but to ensure that unauthorized entry is prevented. The use of the word "unauthorized" is expressly used to denote the extra controls that are required for high radiation areas greater than 1 R/hr. Regulatory Guide 8.38 does discuss the use of physical barriers to prevent unauthorized entry. The word "unauthorized" will continue to be used.
5.7.2a.2 The comment is not accepted. The STS does not imply that an area would be locked so as to prevent personnel from exiting the area. The STS is designed to be very clear and literal. The NRC and the licensee will recognize that a locked door will be "unlocked" when workers enter or exit the area, and this action would not result in a NOV. The standard TS wording will not be changed.
5.7.2f The comment in not clear. The STS control is offered to licensees as a "relief' from 10 CFR Part 20. If a licensee has a special need; a custom TS can be proposed and justified for the staff's consideration. The standard TS wording will not be changed.

Description:
Revised changes to 5.2.2.c to address NRC concerns regarding independent review of procedures to ensure overtime limits are maintained. The deleted sentence is replaced with the statement "Controls shall be included in the procedures to require a periodic independent review be conducted to ensure that excessive hours have not been assigned." As used in this application, the term independent is to only ensure the review is performed by individual (s) different than the individual (s) actually authorizing the over time. As used in this application, the term "periodic frequency" shall be based on plant experience, outage frequencies, and other management review practices (i.e., more frequent reviews conducted during shutdown / refueling when a lot of overtime can be expected, versus less frequent reviews at RTP with little anticipated overtime during which the reviews would not exceed the quarterly frequency). While no changes were made to the pages, there was discussion of and agreement by the NRC and the Industry that the meaning of the term "designee" as it is used in this section permits the designee to either be a permanent position or a temporary position to satisfy the requirements.

TSTF-258, Rev 4 Justification:
- 1. Changes to Section 5.2, Organization
- a. The requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii) and 50.54(k) adequately provide for shift manning. These regulations, 50.54(m)(2)(iii), require "when a nuclear power unit is in an operational mode other than cold shutdown or refueling, as defined by the unit's technical specifications, each licensee shall have a person holding a senior operator license for the nuclear power unit in the control room at all times. In addition to this senior operator, for each fueled nuclear power unit, a licensed operator or senior operator shall be present at the controls at all times." Further, 50.54(k) requires "An operator or senior operator licensed pursuant to part 55 of this chapter shall be present at the controls at all times during the operation of the facility." The ISTS 5.2.2.b requirements will be met through compliance with these regulations and is not required to be reiterated in the ISTS.
In the April 9, 1997 letter from C. Grimes to J. Davis, the staff proposed revising 5.2.2.c by adding "Shift crew composition shall meet the requirements stipulated herein and in 10 CFR 50.54(m)." Adding this sentence is a duplicative of the code of federal regulations since all licensees are required to meet 10 CFR 50.54.
- b. Section 5.2.2.e. is revised from specific working hour limits to administrative procedures to control working hours. The proposed changes w ill provide reasonable assurance that impaired performance caused by excessive working hours will not jeopardize safe plant operation. Specific working hour limits are not otherwise required to be in the technical specifications under 10 CFR 50.36(c)(5). Specific controls for working hours of reactor plant staff are described in procedures that require a deliberate decision making process to minimize the potential for impaired personnel performance, and that established procedure control processes will provide sufficient control for changes to that procedure. These changes are consistent with the recommendations in the April 9, 1997 letter from C. Grimes to J. Davis. Additionally, the statement "Controls shall be included in the procedures such that individual overtime shall be reviewed monthly by the [Plant Superintendent] or his designee to ensure that excessive hours have not been assigned." is being deleted. There is no guidance in Generic Letter 82-12 that discusses these additional controls.
The additional requirement to have the Plant Manager (or his designee) review individual overtime on a monthly bases is unnecessary since sufficient administrative controls and policies exist, as well as the role of the individuals supervisors in supervising personnel prevent excessive or abuse of overtime.
- c. Section 5.2.2.g is revised to eliminate the title of "Shift Technical Advisor (STA)." STAs are not used at all plants (the function may be fulfilled by one of the other on-shift individuals).
Therefore, 5.2.2.g is revised so that it does not imply that the STA and the Shift Supervisor must be different individuals. Option I of the Commission Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift is satisfied by assigning an individual with specified educational qualifications to each operating crew as one of the SROs (preferably the shift supervisor) required by 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) to provide the technical expertise on shift. However, the 5.2.2.g wording of, "the STA shall provide... support to the Shift Supervisor...", is considered to be easily misinterpreted to require separate individuals. Therefore, the wording is revised so that the STA function may be provided by either a separate individual or the individual who also fulfills another role in the shift command structure.

TSTF-258, Re-v 4
- 2.
Chances to 5.3, Unit Staff Qualifications.
- a.
In Section 5.3.1, the second sentence is bracketed in its entirety. There may be cases were the entire unit staff are covered by the standard specified in the first sentence or there may be specific exceptions for specific positions that could then be specified by bracketing the entire sentence.
- b. Definitions in 10 CFR 55.4 state: "Actively performing the functions of an operator or senior operator means that an individual has a position on the shift crew that requires the individual to be licensed as defined in the facility's technical specifications, and that...." Adding paragraph 5.3.2 ensures that there is no misunderstanding when complying with 10 CFR 55.4 requirements. Adding this paragraph is consistent with the recommendations in the April 9, 1997 letter from C. Grimes to J. Davis.
c... The April 9, 1997 letter from C. Grimes to J. Davis proposed a Reviewers Note in conjunction with the addition of paragraph 5.3.2. The Reviewer's Note stated: "The minimum staffing requirements stipulated in 10 CFR 50.54(m), for unit members actively performing the functions of an operator or senior operator, can be exceeded by stipulating the enhanced staffing requirements in paragraph 5.3.2." This Reviewer's Note is not required based on the discussions in Generic Letter 87-16 (Transmittal of NUREG-1262) which indicated that facilities can take credit for more than the minimum number of watchstanders required by Technical Specifications provided that there are administrative controls which assure that functions and duties are divided and rotated in a manner which provides each watchstander meaningful and significant opportunity to maintain proficiency in the performance of the functions of an operator and/or senior operator as appropriate. By stipulating enhanced staffing requirements in paragraph 5.3.2, when a licensee decided to change its staffing requirements, a license amendment request would have to be submitted, reviewed and approved before the staffing requirements could be made which may not be timely and is an unnecessary burden on the licensee's and NRC's resources.
3 Chanpcs to 5.5.4. Radioactive Effluent Controls Program.
After issuance of Generic Letter 89-01, 10 CFR 20 was updated. The NRC issued a draft Generic Letter, 93-XX, on proposed changes to STS NUREGS base on the new 10 CFR 20.
The proposed changes are consistent with the draft generic letter and the April 9, 1997 letter from C. Grimes to J. Davis with some exceptions noted below. The proposed changes maintain the same overall level of effluent control while retaining the operational flexibility that exists with current TS under the previous 10 CFR 20. This limitation (i.e., less than 10 times the concentration values...) provides reasonable assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in Unrestricted Areas will result in exposures within (1) the Section MI.A design objectives of appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and (2) restrictions authorized by 10 CFR 20.1301(e). These changes are intended to eliminate possible confusion or improper implementation of the revised 10 CFR 20 requirements. The recommendations in the April 9, 1997 letter uses the term "total body" in reference to the noble gas dose rate. This limit is based on the dosimetry of ICRP 2, and the correct term is "whole body" as shown in NUREG-1301, Specification 3.11.2.1, page 45. Additionally, some minor editorial changes were made from the recommendations in the April 9, 1997 letter.
The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applied to the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program surveillance frequencies (5.5.4e.) to allow for scheduling flexibility. SR 3.0.2 permits a 25%
Page 2 of 4
TSTF-258, Rev 4 extension of the interval specified in the Frequency (31 days). Allowing a 25% extension in the frequency of performing the monthly cumulative dose and projected dose calculation for the current quarter/year will have no affect on outcome of the calculations.
- 3. Changes to 5.6.4, M1onthly Operating Reports. The reporting of pressurizer safety and relief valve failures and challenges is based on the guidance in NUREG-0694, "TMI-Related Requirements for New Operating Licensees." The guidance of NUREG-0694 states: "Assure that any failure of a PORV or safety valve to close will be reported to the NRC promptly. All challenges to the PORVs or safety valves should be documented in the annual report." NRC Generic Letter 97-02, "Revised Contents of the Monthly Operating Report" requests the submittal of less information in the monthly operating report. The generic letter identifies what needs to be reported to support the NRC Performance Indicator Program, and availability and capacity statistics. The generic letter does not specifically identify the need to report challenges to the pressurizer safety and relief valves. Mr. Marcel Harper, NRC (AEOD) was contacted and he indicated that this information was not required for the Performance Indicator Program and therefore would not need to be reported. Based on this information, it is acceptable to delete the requirement to provide documentation of all challenges to the pressurizer power operated relief valves or pressurizer safety valves.
- 5. Chances to 5.7, High Radiation Area. Section 5.7 is revised in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1601(c) and updates the acceptable alternate controls to those given in 10 CFR 20.1601. These changes are consistent (with the exception provided below) with the draft Generic Letter (93-XX) on proposed changes to STS NUREGs based on the new 10 CFR 20 and the letter from C. Grimes, NRC, to J. Davis, NEI dated April 9, 1997. (The NRC proposed version of Section 5.7 provided in the April 9, 1997 letter is included in this traveler with the recommended changes marked.)
- Changes to 5.7.1 d.4.(ii): In the event that communications are lost between an individual worker, and the Radiation Protection staff providing the remote surveillance, the worker should be able to continue to work in the area provided that the worker can communicate with other workers in the same area who are working on the same job and under the same RNWP, and provided that the communications remain satisfactory between these workers and the RP staff providing the remote surveillance..
- Changes to 5.7.1.e and 5.7.2.e: Revised to allow any individual or group of individuals to enter a high-high radiation area (dose rates > 1 Rem/hr at 30 cm) when accompanied by an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures with a radiation dose rate monitoring device. The qualified individual is responsible for providing positive control and shall perform periodic radiation surveillances at the frequency specified in the RWP.
Furthermore, these continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry into such areas. This dose rate determination, knowledge, and pre-job briefing does not require documentation prior to initial entry. Many plant's CTS requirements allow this option, which compliments the plant's practices of requiring qualified individual escort at all times during the work in a high-high radiation area. This option would provide adequate protection while (keeping with ALARA practices) minimizing exposure to the qualified individual.
Page 3 of 4
TSTF-258, Rev 4
- Changes to 5.7.2a: Section 5.7.2a is revised to state "Each entryway to such an area shall be conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and shall be provided with a locked or continuously guarded door or gate..." This change is consistent with RG 8.38 Section 2.5 which indicates that the use of a locked door or one control point where positive control over personnel entry is exercised. Posting an individual to monitor a door provides positive controls over a high radiation area.
Changes to 5.7.2.a. 1: The Shift Foreman is only one of the many possible operations shift management positions who may be designated for the key control function. This change is similar to the wording of the NRC 7-28-95 letter to the Ownees Group Chairmen which identifies key control responsibility with the "shift supervisor, radiation protection manager, or his or her designee."
- Changes to 5.7.2f. (deleting "that is controlled as a high radiation area"): The 5.7.2.f provision has applied (in previous STS as well as ISTS NUREGs) without the added constraint of having the larger area controlled as a high radiation area. It is not always practical to control such areas as a High Radiation Area (outside of these High-High Radiation Areas). The proposed change to the NRC proposed Model Specification would restore the requirement as it exists in ISTS NUREG Revl.
