Dear Mr. Devis:
On October 24,1997, the staff issued a license amendment for the H.B. Robinson 2 conversion to the improved Star:dard Technical Specifications (STS). This is the 12th conversion to the improved STS, which will resuh in 16 units operating with these technical specifications. The t
' Robinson 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 staN resource savings and more timely reviews, while at the same time providing a clearer and more succinct product, in addition, th6 Robinson conversion amendment included a new license condition to ensure that surveillance schedules are not perturbed by the conversion to the improved STS. This amendment also contains a licensee condition to enforce licensee commitments to relocate llems removed from the technical specifications to the appropriate licensee controlled riocuments. 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 contalning summary descriptions and categories of the changes to the technical specifications as a result of the convention. It is our expectation that licensees wi!! provide these tables to the staff late in the review process as the rten starts to wiite the SE. No channe in the format of the initial submittalls being requested.
However, licensees should be aware of this espectation so that they can ensure that their data bases and word processing can easily generate these tables from existing subm}ttal material at the a, papriate 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 it in your planned update to NEl 96 06.
Sincerely, hgf
