Subject:
Waterford 3 SES Docket No. 50-382 License No. NPF-38 Supplemental Information to Technical Specification Change Request NPF-38-155 Gentlemen:
By letter dated August 11, 1994, Waterford 3 proposed a change that would remove cycle-specific variables from the Technical Specifications (TS) and control them under a new document called the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR).
The proposed change was consistent with the technical specification line-item improvement guidelines provided by the NRC in Generic Letter (GL) 88-16, " Removal of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits From Technical Specifications," dated October 3, 1988.
However, for reasons described in the initial request, the proposed change took exception to the generic guidance provided in the revised Combustion Engineering Standard Technical Specifications (STS) NUREG 1432.
Specifically, NUREG 1432 requires the Administrative Controls section of the TS to include a listing of the analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits (i.e., the NRC approved methodologies).
The Waterford 3 proposed TS 6.9.1.11, included the requirement to use only NRC approved j
analytical methods, but the methods were listed in Section IV of the COLR and j
not listed in the TS.
