SUBJECT:
FINAL SAFETY EVALUATIONS OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TASK FORCE TRAVELER TSTF-569, REVISION 2, REVISE RESPONSE TIME TESTING DEFINITION (EPID L-2018-PMP-0002)
Dear Members of the Technical Specifications Task Force:
By letter dated October 31, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18304A026), the Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for review and approval traveler TSTF-569, Revision 1, Revise Response Time Testing Definition.
By letter dated May 29, 2019 (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML19017A219), an NRC draft safety evaluation (SE) and draft model SE of traveler TSTF-569 were provided for your review and comments. By letter dated June 25, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19176A034), you commented on the SEs and provided traveler TSTF-569, Revision 2. The NRC staff has incorporated your comments, except for the change on page 17, line 42 (of the marked-up draft SEs). The NRC staffs final traveler SE and final model SE are provided in Enclosures 1 and 2, respectively, to this letter.
The traveler was submitted as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).
traveler TSTF-569, Revision 2, is approved as a CLIIP traveler.
Traveler TSTF-569, Revision 2, is applicable to Westinghouse and Combustion Engineering pressurized-water reactor nuclear power plants. The proposed change revises Revision 4 of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS), Volumes 1 and 2 of NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants, and NUREG-1432, Standard Technical Specifications, Combustion Engineering Plants. Volume 1 of these NUREGs can be accessed in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML12100A222 and ML12102A165, respectively. Volume 2 of these NUREGs can be accessed in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML12100A228 and ML12102A169, respectively.
Our SEs apply only to material provided in the subject traveler. When a licensee submits a license amendment request (LAR) to adopt the traveler, the NRC staffs 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 LARs. The NRC will process each LAR to adopt this traveler according to applicable NRC rules and procedures.
Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-569, Revision 2, does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate approach or proposing changes other than those in the traveler. However, significant changes from the approach recommended or the inclusion of additional changes in the LAR will 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 traveler TSTF-569, Revision 2.
If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Honcharik at 301-415-1774 or via e-mail at Michelle.Honcharik@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
