March 25, 1993 Docket No. 50-382 Mr. Ross P. Barkhurst Vice President Operations Entergy Operations, Inc.
Post Office Box B Killona, Louisiana 70066
Dear Mr. Barkhurst:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE LICENSE AMENDMENT APPLICATION UNDER GENERIC LETTER 87-09 FOR WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT N0. 3 (TAC NO. M85969)
The basis for accepting Specification 3.0.4-related amendments under Generic Letter 87-09 is predicated on two assumptions, namely:
I) that the remedial measures prescribed by the Technical Specification ACTION STATEMENTS for which the exception will be granted provide a sufficient level of protection to permit operational mode changes and safe long-term operation consistent with the licensing basis described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report for Waterford 3, and 2) that it will be the exception when plant startup commences with important safety features inoperable, irrespective of the exceptions granted in response to applications under Generic Letter 87-09.
We have reviewed your license amendment application under Generic Letter 87-09, submitted by the letter dated February 9, 1993.
In order, for the NRC staff to conclude that the safety basis relative to the above stated assump-tions is satisfied, we request that for each proposed Technical Specification exception to be granted under Generic Letter 87-09, you affirm that remedial measures prescribed for the affected ACTION STATEMENTS are consistent with the Updated Safety Analysis Report and its supporting safety analyses.
In addi-tion, we request that you identify and affirm those administrative controls (e.g.,-maintenance program provisions, plant operating procedures, management directives, onsite safety reviews, etc.) that have-been established to limit the use of the Specification 3.0.4 exceptions granted. Your affirmation should address training necessary for ensuring.that plant operators are made aware of, and are instructed to exercise the controls promulgated in limiting -
the use of such exceptions.
In addition, the Generic Letter issued in 1987 did not specifically address the three criteria for a no significant hazards consideration.
It is request-ed that this analysis be performed and be included with the above response.
