SUBJECT:
FINAL SAFETY EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TASK FORCE TRAVELER TSTF-551, REVISION 3, REVISE SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS " (CAC NO. MF5125)
Dear Members of the Technical Specifications Task Force:
By letter dated October 3, 2016 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16277A226), the Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval traveler TSTF-551, Revision 3, Revise Secondary Containment Surveillance Requirements.
By letter dated July 3, 2017 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML17080A409), an NRC draft safety evaluation (SE) and draft model SE of traveler TSTF-551 were provided for your review and comments. By letter dated August 2, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17214A804), you commented on the SEs. The NRC staffs final SE and final model SE are enclosed with this letter.
The traveler was submitted as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).
During the review of TSTF-551, NRC staff determined that plant-specific information is necessary for adoption of the traveler. Therefore, TSTF-551, Revision 3, is not approved as a CLIIP traveler.
The traveler TSTF-551, Revision 3, is applicable to boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear power plants. The proposed change revises Revision 4 of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS), Volumes 1 and 2 of NUREG-1433, Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/4 Plants, and NUREG-1434, Standard Technical Specifications General Electric BWR/6 Plants. Volume 1 of these NUREGs can be accessed in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML12104A192 and ML12104A195, respectively. Volume 2 of these NUREGs can be accessed in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML12104A193 and ML12104A196, respectively.
Our SE applies only to material provided in the subject traveler. When a licensee submits a license amendment request (LAR) to adopt the traveler, the NRC staff review will ensure that the material presented applies to the specific plant involved. We do not intend to repeat a technical review of the material provided in the traveler. Licensees are responsible for reviewing the NRC staffs SEs and the applicable technical justifications, providing any necessary plant-specific information, and assessing the completeness and accuracy of their LAR. The NRC will process each LAR to adopt this traveler according to applicable NRC rules and procedures.
The traveler TSTF-551, Revision 3, does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate approach or proposing changes other than those in TSTF-551, Revision 3. However, significant changes from the approach recommended or the inclusion of additional changes in the LAR will
TSTF require additional NRC staff review, increase the time and resources needed for the review, and/or result in non-acceptance of the LAR. Licensees desiring significant or additional changes should instead submit an LAR that does not claim to adopt TSTF-551, Revision 3.
If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Honcharik at 301-415-1774 or via e-mail at Michelle.Honcharik@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Jennifer M. Whitman, Acting Chief Technical Specifications Branch Division of Safety Systems Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Project No. 753
