g Mr. Edward 'J. Mroczka
-2 April 26,1990 and the Systematic Evaluation Program.
Details of the TS changes and our
" conclusion that the proposed TS changes are acceptable are provided in the enclosed Safety Evaluation which is divided into six parts each of which addresses the changes requested in items 1) through 6) above.
The following TS changes were denied or deferred:
1)'
By submittal dated October 26, 1988, the-licensee requested that TS I
Section 5.3.1, " Fuel Assemblies" be revised to allow insertion of stainless steel filler rods or vacancies as justified by the cycle-specific reload analysis. The staft has deferred the review of this request to the resolution of GL 90-02, " Alternative Requirements for Fuel Assemblies in the Design Features Section of Technical Specifi-Cations."
2)
By submittal dated June 2,1989, the licensee requested to add the words "to be repaired" to Ts Section 4.4.5.4.e 6, " Plugging Limit."
3)
By submittal dated June 2, 1989, the licensee requested that the charging flow indication calibration requirement be removed from the TSs.
4)
By submittal dated June 23,.1989, the licensee proposed _an additional ACTION (a) to TS Section 3.3.3.2, "The Movable Incore Detector System."
The proposed action statement stated that with less than the minimum number of detector thimbles required, the movable incore detector system could be used if penalty factors are applied to the linear heat generation rate or quadrant power tilt; or during recalibration of the system.
The specific evaluations are provided in the enclosed Safety Evaluation.
Our conclusions regarding the F,.ise II of the Reactor Protection System (RPS)
Upgrade are consistent with our Phase I conclusions.
The one unresolved-area is the potential susceptibility of the new equipment to electromagnetic inter-ference. The licensee shall submit by June Ib, 1990, or prior to restart a-2 plan outlining the analysis or testing necessary to demonstrate that the electrical environment of the new equipment is enveloped by the vendor's qualif_1 cation testing and the schedule by which this work will be completed.
As stated in our letter dated September 5, 1989, this TS upgrade effort does not fu'Ifill CYAPCO's SEP commitment to convert to the WSTS.
This review is not a STS conversion because:
1)
-A conversion would require a more comprehensive and detailed review, 2)
A conversion would evaluate all deviations of the current TS from the WSTS. This was not performed as part of this review..The staft confirmed that the current requirements were maintained and therefore, in general, the proposed TS changes could be considered an administrative change.

- 3 3)
A c version would result in a " completeness" review to assure all appli le sections of the WSTS were included. This was not performed as part of iis review.
For this review, the staff did evaluate all new TS
- proposed, CYAPC0 but only to determine if the.new TSs maintained the current reg rements, were appropriate and in the WSTS-format.
Therefore, the staff ects the STS conversion to be scheduled for-implementation because it is an SEP c itment.
A co)y of 'the related Safety valuation is enclosed..Also enclosed'is a copy of tie Notice of Issuance and copy of the Notice of Denial: and Opportunity for Hearing which have been forw ded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
