INTRODUCTION l
GPU Nuclear Corporation-(the licensee) submitted Technical Specification Change Request No. 198 on January 18, 1990. -This request proposed a large number of-minor administrative and editorial changes to the Three Mile Island, Unit 1 (TMI-1) Technical Specifications'(TS) as'well as deletion of-obsolete License -
{
Condition 2.c.(b) regarding the inservice inspection program.
EVALUATION The licensee conducted an editorial review of the TMI-1 license and TS to i
1 identify typographical errors, incorrect bases reference and format problems, This change was requested in order to make numerous administrative revisions.
i to the TS for the purpose of improved clarity ~and to make bases statement.
1 revisions that reflect more accurately references to applicable Updated FSAR, sections, tables, and figures.
In addition, any typographical errors _ discovered j
in the process have been corrected, as noted in the licensee's JanuaryL18, 1990 l
submittal.
However, the staff has reviewed each of these minor changes and R
found them to be correct and appropriate. None of the changes affect technical i
requirements of-the TS. Therefore, there is no safety significance'in these changes. The net effect.of these changes, however, is to make the TS and:their s'
bases administrativel with these changes. y more correct and clearer.
The-staff, therefore, concurs '
License Condition 2.c.6, " Inservice Testing", duplicates the requirements of i
TS 4.2 for inservice tests of the Reactor Coolant System, as well as the requirements of NRC regulations contained in 10 CFR 50.55a(g)-for inservice
-j tests to verify the operational readiness of pumps and valves.. Deletion of this license condition.would not result in any reduction of ASME. Code'Section XI requirements, nor would it affect any licensee comitments regtrding operability tests or inspections conducted to support safe operations of TMI-1.
The staff has reviewed this proposed change and concurs with deletion of License Condition 2.c.6.
Page 2 of the license is also reissued with this amendment to correct an error in paragraph 2.b.(1). (Edison vs. Edision).
