REQUEST FOR ADDITIONALINFORMATION ST. LUCIE UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-335, 50-389 1.
The evaluation for the proposed changes to the technical specifications (TS) indicates that the changes are similar to those approved for other utilities. Identify the other utilities and provide a comparison of the proposed TS changes with those approved for the other utilities.
2.
An independent assessment of the effectiveness of the onsite review committee is referenced as a basis for the TS changes.
Please provide a copy of this assessment.
3.
The evaluation notes that the proposed changes remain consistent with industry standards.
Industry standards other than ANSI N18.7-1976/ANS-3.2, which is mentioned in the evaluation, should be identified if applicable.
For example, ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978 is applicable and it is referenced as a basis for the quality assurance (QA) program.
Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.33, Revision 2, conditionally endorses ANSI N18.7-1976/ANS-3.2, and should be also addressed by the evaluation.
4.
The evaluation notes that the proposed revision of TS 6.5.1 is compatible with existing document control measures pursuant to the QA program.
The applicable sections of the QA program description should be identified.
5.
The onsite review committee currently reviews all procedures identified per TS 6.8 and changes thereto.
The submittal proposes that only procedures requiring safety evaluations be reviewed by the committee. (TS 6.5.1.6)
- a. Confirm that reference to "safety evaluations" means conformance to the requirements of $50.59 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
- b. Address how each of the procedures identified per TS 6.8 is covered by f50.59.
- c. Provide additional justification why the onsite review committee does not have to review procedures with respect to whether safety evaluations are necessary.
- d. Is a Qualified Reviewer program used to perform f50.59 reviews?
If so, please describe the program requirements.
6.
The submittal proposes to implement an independent review function to replace the review function provided by the onsite review committee.
The administrative requirements for the independent review function should be specified by the technical specifications and/or QA program description.
Enclosure
7.
The submittal proposes that the onsite review committee approve procedures instead of the plant manager.
This differs from current function of the review committee, which is to advise the plant manager.
The plant manager is responsible for administrative and quality program requirements to assure plant safety; he is uniquely qualified for this responsibility by compliance to ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978 requirements.
Please provide additional justification as to why the reassignment of the approval function from the plant manager to the review'committee does not reduce assurance of plant safety, particularly with regard to the qualifications of the review committee membership and the responsibility of the plant manager.
8.
The submittal proposes to delete the current requirement for temporary procedure changes to be reviewed by the onsite review committee and approved by the plant manager within 14 days of implementation.
Additional justification should be provided for deleting this requirement, particularly with regard to the time constraint. (TS 6.8.3) 9.
The evaluation states that the Shift Supervisor approves temporary changes.
TS 6.8.3 should be revised to reflect this requirement.
- 10. The submittal should address the general qualification requirements for personnel authorized to approve procedure changes.
In addition, the qualifications of the individual designated by the plant manager to approve procedures should be specifically addressed.
(TS 6.8.3)
- 11. The submittal proposes to retain the requirement for the plant manager to approve temporary changes to fire protection program implementation procedures.
Address the reasons for the uniqueness of the approval process for fire protection procedures.
(TS 6.8.2) s
