Notice of Availability of Proposed Models for Plant-Specific Adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-500, Revision 2, DC Electrical Rewrite - Update to TSTF-360 AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

ACTION: Notice of availability

SUMMARY

As part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP), the NRC is announcing the availability of the model application (with model no significant hazards consideration determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for plant-specific adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-500, Revision 2, DC Electrical Rewrite - Update to TSTF-360 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML092670242). The changes revise Technical Specifications (TS) 3.8.4, "DC Sources Operating," TS 3.8.5, "DC Sources - Shutdown," and TS 3.8.6, "Battery Cell Parameters." Additionally, a new Administrative Controls program, titled "Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program," is added to Section 5.5, "Programs and Manuals." The CLIIP model SE will facilitate expedited approval of plant-specific adoption of Traveler TSTF-500, Revision 2.

For technical questions, please contact Mr. Gerald Waig, Senior Reactor Systems Engineer, Technical Specifications Branch, Mail Stop: O-7 C2A, Division of Inspection and Regional Support, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 20555-0001; telephone 301-415-2260 or e-mail at gerald.waig@nrc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

TSTF-500, Revision 2, is applicable to all nuclear power reactors. The Traveler modifies the Standard TS requirements related to the DC electrical power systems. Licensees opting to apply for this TS change are responsible for reviewing the NRC staffs model SE, referencing the applicable technical justifications, and providing any necessary plant-specific information.

The NRC will process each amendment application responding to this NOA according to applicable NRC rules and procedures.

This CLIIP change does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in TSTF-500, Revision 2. However, significant deviations from the approach recommended in this notice or the inclusion of additional changes to the license require additional NRC staff review and would not be reviewed as a part of the CLIIP. This may increase the time and resources needed for the review or result in NRC staff rejection of the license amendment request (LAR). Licensees desiring significant deviations or additional changes should instead submit an LAR that does not claim to adopt TSTF-500, Revision 2.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of August 2011.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

/RA/
