6/4/2009 Technical Specifications Task Force TSTF A Joint Owners Group Activity 53 Technical Specifications Task Force TSTF A Joint Owners Group Activity TSTF439A, Eliminate Second Completion Times Limiting Time From Discovery of Failure To Meet an LCO
- TSTF439 was approved by the NRC in a letter dated 1/11/2006.
- TSTF439 eliminated "second Completion p Times" from several specifications to facilitate riskinformed Completion Times.
- These second Completion Times were added to the ISTS due to concerns over abuse of multiple Condition entry. These concerns are now addressed by availability targets in the Maintenance Rule.
- TSTF439 was the result of over 4 years of discussion with the NRC.
- The NRC's approval of TSTF439 stated, "The NRC Staff concludes that multiple continuous entries into Conditions, without meeting the LCO, is acceptable because these practices will be controlled by licensee licenseess configuration risk management programs, which were implemented to meet the requirements of the maintenance rule to assess and manage risk, and controlled by the Use and Application convention discussed in Section 1.3 of the Technical Specifications. The TS controls, coupled with the licensees configuration risk management programs, provide adequate assurance against inappropriate use of combinations of Conditions that result in a single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO."

6/4/2009 Technical Specifications Task Force TSTF A Joint Owners Group Activity TSTF439A, Eliminate Second Completion Times Limiting Time From Discovery of Failure To Meet an LCO
- TSTF439 has been approved for several plants, including Crystal River, Monticello, Millstone 2, Fermi, Callaway, and Comanche Peak
- Only Comanche Peak was required to make an additional commitment in order to adopt TSTF439. Ft. Calhoun was requested to make a similar commitment.
- "There shall be administrative controls to limit the maximum time allowed for any combination of Conditions that result in a single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO for TS 3.7.5*Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System, TS 3.8.1, A.C. Sources Operating, and TS 3.8.9, Distribution Systems Operating. These administrative controls shall ensure that the Completion Times for those Conditions are not inappropriately extended. The administrative controls t l will ill ensure th thatt C Completion l ti TiTime iis NOT extended t d db beyondd th the additive dditi C Completion l ti Times of the two (2) Required Actions for restoration of OPERABILITY unless a risk evaluation is performed. If Unit Operation within an LCO will exceed the maximum Completion Time, then either the shutdown Condition within the LCO should be entered OR a risk evaluation shall be performed and the risk impact managed under the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP)."
- Would like to discuss why the requirements for adopting TSTF439 are changing so that we can advise licensees on the expectations. 55 Technical Specifications Task Force TSTF A Joint Owners Group Activity TSTF400, "Clarify SR on Bypass of DG Automatic Trips"
- TSTF400 was originally a Basesonly Traveler that clarified that SR 3.8.1.13 only verifies that non noncritical critical trips are bypassed (and not that the critical trips are not bypassed).
Justification based on consistency with Reg Guide 1.9.
- NRC approved Revision 0 and incorporated it into Rev. 3 of the ISTS.
- NRC subsequently requested that the SR be revised so that it is clear.
clear TSTF agreed and TSTF400, TSTF400 Rev. Rev 1,1 was approved on 11/13/2004 and incorporated it into ISTS Revision 3.1.

- The industry performed four rounds of review and comment on the draft Rev. 2. When issued, over 500 errors were discovered.
- The TSTF would retype the ISTS NUREGs into MS Word format at our cost.
- The TSTF would create future revisions of the ISTS which the NRC would proof and review (track changes and clean copies)
- The TSTF would provide Acrobat copies of the NUREGs to the NRC for publication.
- This process was followed successfully for Rev. 3.0 and 3.1 of the ISTS and both Owners Groups had budgeted funds to develop Rev. 4 using this process in 2009. 65 (continued)
