ULNRC-4043 TAC NO. M98803 WAmean DOCKET NUMBER 50-483 CALLAWAY PLANT UNION ELECTRIC COMPANY FOLLOW-UP ITEMS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED CONVERSION TO THE IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTIONS 3.9 AND 5.6

Reference:

ULNRC-4044 dated May 27,1999 Union Electric is providing the attached revisions to Sections 3.9 and 5.6 of the Improved Technical Specifications. Following additional reviews by the staff, these revisions are based on resolution telecons held between the NRC staff and AmerenUE personnel on May 26 and 27,1999.

As documented on the attached pages, the Specification 3.9.1, (boron concentration requirements in the refueling pool), is revised to maintain the CTS requirements on refueling pool boron concentration limits. By this change, DOC 01-02-LG (ITS Section 3.9) does not relocate the limits for boron concentration to the COLR, and DOC 01-04-LG (ITS Section 3.9) does not relocate the Ng limit to the bases. Therefore, these DOCS are not applicable for Callaway. Note that references to the Lalimit and also to the COLR remain in the Bases. However, these references have been revised to reflect the fact that the limits are maintained in the LCO, consistent with the CTS. For the aid of the operators, the limit for the boron concentration is presented in the COLR.

In addition to the above revision, Section 5.6.5, CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR), is revised to delete item 5.6.5.a (8). This value as a limit, is controlled under the LCO of Specification 3.9.1, and is merely provided in the COLR as a convenient reference for the operators. Because the refueling boron concentration limit remains in the LCO, consistent with CTS, DOC 3-15-M (ITS Section 5.0) does not relocate the limit to the COLR, and the DOC is no longer applicable for Callaway.

.i U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission May 28,1999 Page 2 Section 5.6.6, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT (PLTR), is revised to add a reference to Callaway Amendment No.124, dated April 2,1998. This reference documents that NRC has reviewed and approved the analytical methods used to generate this report specifically for Callaway.

Finally, these revised ITS pages should replace those transmitted to the referenced letter as indicated on the Attachment cover sheet.
