SUBJECT:
DEFINITION OF TERM "0PERABLE"
(,i By letter dated April 10. 1980, the NRC staff forwarded guidance regaM' definition of the ters " operable" and requested that you modify the Tech-nical Specifications for the Haddam Neck Plant to incorporate the specific guidance contained in the model technical specifications attached to the April 10 letter. Our concern was that, beczuse existing technical specifications do not address the operability of necessary ancillary system in Limiting Conditions for Operation, a large number of equipment outage con 61 nations could exist in which the plant might not be fully protected.
Your response, dated May 21. 1980, objected to the imediate imposition of the suggested technical specifications and noted that the requested changes would be very extensive in nature, based upon the fact that the Haddam Neck Technical Specifications are not in Standard Technical Specification (STS) format. You suggested that a revision of this magnitude should be incorporated into the ongoing effort to convert the Haddam Neck Plant to STS.
On November 19. 1980, we issued technical specifications concerning this subject for Millstone Unit 2.
In our letter we expressed some concern about the progress of the STS conversion prVgram for H ddam Neck and reiterated our request for proposed changes to the technical specifica-tions. You subsequently comitted to provide these changes in a letter dated January 2.1981.
Based in part on the informtion that you provided with respect to this issue, and subject to satisfactory resolution of the assurances identified below, we have determined that these changes should be incorporated in the technical specifications during the integrated assessment of the Systematic Evaluation Program (SEP).
