October 29, 1997 Mr. James D evis Nuclear Ener.ty Institute 1775 Eye Strt et, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20006 3708
Dear Mr. Davis:
On October 24,1997, the stan issued a license amendment for the H.B. Robinson 2 conversion to the improved Standard Technical Specifications (STS). This is the 12th conversion to the improved STS, which will result in 16 units operating with these tech <. eal specifications. The P.ohinson conversion is unique in that it served as a pilot for the development by NRC of a new format for the safety evaluation (SE) which should result in staff resource savings and more timely reviews, while at the same time providing a clearer and more succinct product. In addition, the Robinson conversion amendment included a new license condition to ensure that L
surveillance schedules are not perturbed by the conversion to the improved STS. Th!s amendment also contains a licensee condition to enforce licensee commitments to relocate Hems removed from the technical specifications to the appropriate licensee-controlled documents. This latter license condition is similar to one that is now being used by the staff for other relocations.
A key feature of the revised SE is a series of tables containing summary descriptions and categories of the changes to the technical specifications at a result of the conversion. It is our expectation that licensees will provide these tables to the staff late in the review process as the staff starts to write the SE. No change in the format of the initial submittalls being requested.
However, licent.ees should be aware of this expectation so that they can ensu.e that their data bases and word processing can easily generate these tables from existing submittal material at the appro. caste point in time. We request that you make the availability of this amendment and revised W. format widely known throughout the industry and include a reference to it in your j
planned uptbte to NEl 96-06.
Sincerely, g[_
