INTERPRETATION OF V.C. SUMMER TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ACT:0.'; STATEMENT 8 REFE?.E.' ICE:

Mems for Cecil-Thomas, from Elinor G.- Adensam,

" Interpretation of Technical Specification",

dated June 3, 1983.

n tne referenced memorandum you requested an interpretation of our intent regarding V.C. Sumer Technical Specification Action Statement 8.

You

ated that the licensee was interpreting Action Statement 8 as restricting nia to being in bypass for only 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> total out of every month (31 days).

You requested our position as to whether this interpretation was correct.

has been our long standing position and it was our intent iri preparing the E-STS and the V.C. Sumer Technical Specifications that a licensee may voluntarily enter an Action Statement whenever desired.

Therefore, it is sur position that the licensee's interpretation of Action Statement 8 is annecessarily restrictive and wrong. The W-STS and the V.C. Summer Technical Specifications should be interpretated to permit the licensee to repeatedly lif necessary) enter the bypass provisions of Action Statement 8 and not

s limited in his ability to utilize this bypass feature to only 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> Octal per month (31 days).
