i UNITED STATE 8 NUCLEAR REQULATORY COMMISSION wA&MlNOToM, D.C. sneeMem October 29, 1997 Mr. James Davis -
Nudear Energy institute 1775 Eye Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20006 3708 Deer Mr. Davis:
On October 24,1997, the staff issued a license amendment for the H.B. Robinson 2 conversion
. to the improved Standard 7echnical Specifications (STS). This is the 12th conversion to the 6mproved STS, which will result in 16 units operating with these technical specifications. The 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 it, staff resource savings and more timely reviews, while at the same time providing a clearer and more succinct product, in addition, the Robinson conversion arnendment included a new license condition to ensure that survelilance schedules are not portutted by the conversion to the improved STS. This amendment also contains a licensee condition to enforce licensee commitments to relocate items reinoved 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 as a resuh 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 submittalis behg requested.
However, 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 tne appropriate point in time. We request that you make the availability of this amendment end revised SE 'ormat widelv k.7own throughout the industry and include a reference to it in your planned update to NEl 94 03..
Sincerely, g i : a. & L William D. Beckner, Chief Technical Specifications Branch Associate Director for Projects Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission I
