SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/97-14 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION -
Dear Mr. Dugger:
Thank you for Mr. E. C. Ewing's letter dated October 20,1997, in response to our letter and
- Notice of Violation (Notice) 50-382/9714-01, dated August 27,1997. We note that you did not
agree with Example 3 of the violation. Your staff concluded that the failure to update Technical
. Specification Bases Section 3/4.7.1.2 was not a violation of 10 CFR 50.71(e).'
On August 4,1995, your staff determined that since the original submittal, Technical -
- Specification Bases Section 3/4.7.1.2, incorrectly stated that each electric-driven emergency
' feedwater pump was capable of delivering a total feedwater flow of 350 gpm at a pressure of
1163 psig to the entrance of the steam generators. The bases section should have read that
each electric-driven emergency feedwater pump was capable of delivering a total flow of ;
350 gpm at a pressure of 1163 psig at the discharge of the pump.' The NRC initially noted that-
your technical specifications, including the technical specification bases sections, were labeled '
as being part of the Final Safety Analysis Report and noted that the technical specification bases
sections were included in Chapter 16 of the Final Safety Analysis Report. As a result, the NRC-
concluded that failure to make the Technical Specification Bases Section 3/4.7.1.2 accurate
-
. was an example of a violation of 10 CFR 50.71(e).
After consideration of the information your staff has provided, we withdraw Example 3 of
Violation 50-382/9714-01. We note that ther required post-operating license submj'tal of the
- Updated Final Safety Analysis Report did not include the technical specification bases
sections in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Repo:t We concluded that when the NRC-
permitted removal of the technical specification bases sections from the Updated Final Safety
Analysis Report, this removed the technical specification bases sections from the scope of
10 CFR 50.71(e)' As a result, we agree that 10 CFR 50.71(e) is not the basis for updating the
>
technical specification bases sections.

We also noted that you have concluded that, until the improved technical specifications are in
place, changes to technical specification bases sections, which are not made as a part of the
license amendment process, would be controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. We agree
with this position. In addition, we note that you changed Technical Specification Bases Section
3/4.7.1.2. We have reviewed the 3ssociated safety evaluation (SE 97-165) during NRC
Inspection 50-382/97-25 and have identified further concerns. We will send you the results of
that inspection under separate correspondence.
Sincerely,
W
James E. Dyer, Deputy
