4 Changes to Compliance Method In Section VII, Arrangement, of the Overall Integrated Plan submitted via ULNRC-05960 (Reference 1),
the primary system indicator location has been changed from in the vicinity of the control room to the MG Set Room in the Auxiliary Building (Room 1403). This room will be accessible to the operators following an event.
5 Need for Relief/Relaxation and Basis for the Relief/Relaxation Ameren Missouri requested via ULNRC-06036 (Reference 7) and received approval as documented in ML13319A668 (Reference 8) for relaxation of FLEX implementation per NRC Order EA-12-049 until the completion of Refuel 21 (Spring 2016). FLEX implementation is required to comply with the power supply requirement described in NRC Order EA-12-051, Attachment 2, Section 1.6. Based on the approval of the relaxation request, AmerenMissouri submitted ULNRC-06113 (Reference 10) and ULNRC-06119 (Reference11), to request relaxation of the power supply requirement described in NRC Order EA-12-051, Attachment 2, Section 1.6. This relaxation was approved by the NRC per ML14154A400 (Reference 12).
