Supporting Information for Proposed Technical Specification Changes Related to Spent Fuel Storage Modifications I.

Requested Change and Bases A.

Section 3.5.A This change is made to provide added assurance that use of the RHR System for spent fuel cooling will not affect the LPCI mode of operation.

B.

Section 5.5 This change is made to reflect reactivity conditions in the new fuel storage area and the spent fuel pool as modified and to provide the basis for establishing compliance.

II.

Safety Evaluation The changes proposed to Technical Specification Sections 3.5.A and 5.5 do not increase the probability of occurance or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety.

The margin of safety for reactivity in the spent fuel storage pool has not been significantly reduced.
