Docket No. 70-7002 Certificate Amendment Request - Update the Application Safety Analysis Report - Proposed Changes
Dear Dr. Paperiello:
1 By letter dated October 31,1997 (Reference 1), USEC submitted a certificate amendment request (CAR) containing the Safety Analysis Report Update (SARUP) required by issue 2 of DOE /ORO-
.2027," Plan for Achieving Compliance with NRC Regulations at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant" (the Compliance Plan), for NRC review and approval. By letters dated April 30,1998 (Reference 2), October 19,1998 (Reference 3), and November 20,1998 (Reference 4) USEC submitted proposed changes to the SARUP certificate amendment request. This letter provides additional changes to the SARUP certificate amendment request. These changes to the SARUP
- certificate amendment were discussed in USEC's letter to NRC dated February 26,1999 (Reference
- 5) and involve the SARUP Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs).
The proposed changes delete the orig' 2 SARUP TSRs and in their place adopt revisions to current TSRs that are included in Volume 4 if( 3EC's Certification Application (USEC-02). This first set of"new" SARUP TSRs includes those I SRs related to nuclear criticality safety that have only minor changes to Basis section to correct SAR references. to this letter provides a detailed description of the proposed changes. Revised SARUP f
pages are provided in Enclosure 3. Revisions (from current TSRs) are noted by a revision bar in the
/
j; right-hand page margin. The conclusions stated in Enclosure 2 to Reference 1, that the proposed changes associated with the CAR are significant, are not afTected by this revision and thus no significance determination is provided.
