2. REVIEW RE0VIREMENTS Item 3.1.3 (Post-Maintenance Testing of Reactor Trip System Components) requires licensees and applicants to identify, if applicable, any post-maintenance test requirements for the Reactor Trip System (RTS) in existing technical specift.ations which can be demonstrateo to degrade rather than ennance safety. Item 3.2.3 appl '- th . same requirement to all other safety-related components. Any proposed technical spe:ification changes resulting from this action shall receive a pre-implementation review by NRC.

The relevant submittals from the Limerick Units 1 and 2 were reviewed to determine compliance with items 3.1.3 and 3.2.3 of the Generic Letter.

First, the submittals from this plant were reviewed to determine that these two items were specifically addressed. Second, the submittals were checked to determine if there were any post-maintenance test items specified by the technical specifications that were suspected to degrade rather than enhance safety. Last, the submittals were reviewed for evidence of special conditions or other significant information relating to the two items of Concern.
