Byron & Braldwood improved TS Review Comments ITS 3.3.2 3.3.2-01 CTS Table 3.3-3 Notation #
CTS Table 3.3-1 Functional Unit 1.d and 1.e ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Footnote a ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.d and 1.e CTS Table 3.3-3 Notation # differs from ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Footnote a with no discussion of change. Comment: Revise submittal to either include this note in the ITS or provide DOC to support the difference.
Comed Response:
3.3.2-02 DOC A.22 CTS Table 3.3-4 Functional Unit 6.f i
DOC A.22 does not describe or discuss the actual change to CTS Table 3.3-4 Functional Unit 6.f. It references a Comed letter with no supporting information. Comments: Provide more specific DOC for A.22 in reference to the change to CTS Table 3.3-4 Functional Unit 6.f.
4 Comed Response:
3.3.2-03 DOC A.17 CTS Table 4.3-2 Insert 3.3-37A ITS SR 3.3.2.9 Note STS SR 3.3.2.8 JFD P.53 The ITS SR 3.3.2.9 Note has deleted the term "... for manual initiation functions" in which JFD P.53 explains. The CTS Table 4.3-2 Insert 3.3-37A has inserted the note which includes the term "... for manual initiation functions" in which DOC A.17 also explains. The edits as well as the associated JFD and DOC conflict with each other. Comment: Revise submittal to either include or not include this note and make the JFS and DOC consistent with each other.
