1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated December 13, 1990, the licensee requested an amendment to its operating license to remove certain fire protection related items from the Duane Arnold Technical Specifications and relocate them to the Fire Protection Program in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report in accordance with guidance provided in Generic Letters 86-10 and 88-12.
The review of the licensee's request was performed by a contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), and is documented in the attached Technical Evaluation Report (TER) SAIC-92/6678.
2.0 EVALUATION SAIC reviewed the licensee's request to ensure that all appropriate fire protection TS were captured in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and Fire Protection Program prior to permitting their removal from the TS.
SAIC determined that the licensee's request to relocate fire protection items from the DAEC Technical Specifications (TS) to its Fire Protection Program and the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) is consistent with the guidance provided in Generic Letters 86-10 and 88-12.
SAIC did point out that the licensee's Technical Specifications (TS) do not address alternate shutdown systems and components in accordance with the guidelines of Generic Letter 81-12.
Instead, the licensee has administrative procedures to maintain and control this equipment. This method of ensuring the availability of the equipment is satisfactory to the staff.
Based upon its review and a site visit on March 24, 1992, SAIC prepared a TER that states that the licensee's request to relocate fire protection items from the TS to the Fire Protection Program and the UFSAR is consistent with the guidance provided in Generic Letters 86-10 and 88-12.
The staff has reviewed SAIC's TER of the licensee's submittal which requests the relocation of fire protection items from the TS to the Fire Protection Program and the UFSAR and concurs in its evaluation.
Based on the staff's avaluation of SATC's TER, the staff concludes that the requested changes are acceptable.
