Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (TMI-2)
Operating License No. OPR-73 Docket No. 50-320 Technical Specification Change Request (TSCR) No. 58
. The Licensee requests that the attached Page 6-3 of the TMI-2 Recovery
' Technical Specifications, Appendix A, be substituted for the existing Page 6-3 in the Technical Specifications.
Reason for Change With the THI-2 cleanup program epproaching its conclusion, the requirement to maintain the present retraining and replacement training program for all TMI-2 personnel (with the exception of Radiological Controls Training) under the direction of the Plant Training Manager is no longer appropriate. For example, the special equipment and water chemistry requirements involved in the TMI-2 recovery have generated unique retraining and replacement training for technicians and repairmen involved. Such training program, often conducted on a one-time basis for a specified task, can be more efficiently administered under the direction of the TMI-2 Site Operations Director.
Therefore, this TSCR proposes to modify Section 6.4.1 to delete the requirement for all retraining and replacement training to be under the direction of the Plant Training Manager and substitute a requirement that this training be under his cognizance. An exception to this requirement, which is consistent with the current Technical Specifications, is that Radiological Controls Training may be under the cognizance of the Vice President Radiological and Environmental Controls.
Justification for Change As stated above, with the TMI-2 cleanup program approaching its conclusion, maintaining the retraining and replacement training program under the direction of the Plant Training Manager is not the most efficient method of maintaining the requisite qualifications for all TMI-2 personnel. However, it is important for the Plant Training Manager to maintain some influence over the training program for TMI-2 personnel and, thus, ensure the required quality standards established for the TMI training program. Therefore, this revision proposed that the requirement for the Plant Training Manager to maintain direction over all training programs be changed to require that he maintain cognizance over the program. This cognizance will include the requirement for the Plant Training Manager's concurrence in the overall training program description document for those retraining and replacement l
training programs whose direction is shif ted to another organization (e.g.,
TMI-2 Site Operations). The training program description document will describe the amount of oversight Plant Training will maintain over these programs.
In addition, the current requirement to periodically audit the training and qualifications of the entire unit staff (Technical Specifications 6.5.3.1.b) will be retained. Thus, provides added insurance that the appropriate retraining and replacement training program is being performed.
1
As the intent of the current exception for Radiological Controls Training is being maintained, the wording changes proposed for the Radiological Controls Training are purely administrative in nature.
No S10nificant Hazards Consideration 10 CFR 50.92 provides the criteria which the Commission uses to evaluate a No Significant Hazards Consideration.
10 CFR 50.92 states that an amendment to a facility license involves No-Significant Hazards if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not:
1.
Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequerces of an accident previously evaluate, or 2.
Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or 3.
Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The specific change involved in this TSCR realigns organizational responsibilty to direct retraining and replacement training programs for TMI-2 personnel. However, a reQJirement is retained for the Plant Training Manager to maintain cognizance over these programs; th'rafore, only an administrative shif t of responsibility is involved. Additionally, Technical Specification 6.5.3.1.b will ensure that these training programs will be adequate by maintaining the requirement to audit training programs on an annual basis.
Thus, this change would not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of an accident, create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident or involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
Therefore, based on the above, GPU Nuclear concludes that No Significant Hazards is involved in this proposed change.
Amendment Class Per the requirements of 10 CFR 170, an application fee of $150.00 is enclosed.
