Dear Mr. Devis:
09 October 24,1997, the sta# 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 resuN in it units operating with these technical spoolfications. The Robinson conversion is unique in that H served as a pilot for the development by NRC of a new format for the safety evaluation (SE) which should msuit in staff resource savings and more timely reviews, while at the same time providing a clearer and more succinct product. In additir n, the Robinson conversion amendment included a new license condition to ensure that surveillance schedules are not perturbed by the conversion to the improved STS. This i
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 l
other relocations.
A key feature of the revised SE is a se ies of tables containing summary descriptions and categories of the changes to the technical specifiretions as 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 sta# starts to wette the SE. No change in the format of the inhial submittalis being requested.
Howevtr, licensees should be aware of this expectation so that they can ensure that their data bases and word processing can easily generate these tables from existing submittal material at the appropriate point in time. We request that you make the availability of this amendment and revised SE format widely known throughout the industry and include a reference to H in your planned updcte to NEl 96-06.
