Ilowever, there are two markup errors in the CTS. The CTS markup does not contain "With any RCCA not capable of being fully inserted, the reactivity worth of the RCCA must be accounted for in the determination of SDM; and" which is contained in the ITS. Also, the definition markup does not reference DOC A19, whichjustifies this change. The only reference to DOC A19 appears on CTS pages 3/41 1 and 3/413. These pages follow the CTS 1.0 markup pages. Comment: Revise the submittal to correct these markup errors.

Comed Response to issue Revised the ITS submittal to sorttet the markup errors: "the CTS markups were revised to add the missing text "With any RCCA not capable of being fully inserted, the reactivity worth of the RCCA must be accounted for in the determination of SDM; and." In addition, CTS DOC 1.0-A19 was added to the CTS markups for the definition of Shutdown Margin.

Cor.Ed Response to lisue No change. The NRC, Owner's Group Chairpersons, and utility management are scheduling a meeting to discuss generic issues (l.c., TSTFs) that involve changes to the Imptoved Technical Specifications (ITS). The main focus of this meeting is to discuss a schedule for reviewing the TSTFs, w ho is reviewing the TSTFs, and what direction is to be provided to utilities which have submitted ITS and have taken credit for the TSTFs that have not yet been approved.

02 ser 97 C brbo COT, md TADOT, TSTF 64 replaces the C'lS and STS wording describing the components that inust be tested in each channel. TSTF 64 has not yet been approved by the NRC. Comment: Revise the submittal to adopt the STS w ording for this part the dennitions for Channel Calibration, COT, and TADOT if TSTF-64 is rejected by the NRC.

DOC A4 and JFD C2 are based on 1STF 19 which revises the STS defmition of Channel Calibration. TSTF 19 proposes to remove language describing how to perform a Channel Calibration for RTDs and thermocouples following replacement of a sensing element.1he NRC approved TSTF.19 with modi 0 cations; NRC received 1STF 19, Revision 1. on April 7 I 1997, but have not yet approved it. Comment: Revise the submittal to adopt the STS wording for this part the definition for Channc' Calibration if TSTF 19, Rev. I,is rejected by the NRC. Note: Adopting the language added by DOC A4 would be acceptable because the CTS dennition currently does not specincally address calibration of RTDs and themocouples.

Comed Hesponse to lisue  !

No change. In a rnecting between the NRC and the NEl Technica! Specincations Task Force (TSTF) on April 17.1997, the NRC described problems that had been found with the ISTS definitions of Channel Calibration, Channel Operational Test  ;

(COT), Trip Acturating Device Operational Test (TADOT), and related dennitions. Ilased on the NRC's suggestions, the  ;

ilWROO developed revised dennitions of these terms (BWROO 38). The NEl TSTF has reviewed this 1raveler and agreed  !

to the proposed changes.1he traveler is currently under review by the individual Owner's Groups. Therefore, the status of

- this RAI is pending resolution of the traveler and review by the NRC.

a. WOG 74 changes "were" of the STS to "was" in example 1.4 3; the use of"were" in the STS is an intentional use of the subjunctive mood. Comment: Adopt the STS verb form.  ;

i ,

b. WOO 74 adds a fourth example to illustrate the use of a surveillance note that says, "Only required to be performed in  !

Mode 1." This is in contrast to the note that says, "Only required to be met in Mode 1," w hich is addressed in example 1.4

3. Comment: List all occurrences of this note in the ITS, and explain u hy the Bases explanation in each case is inadequate for understanding how the note modines the Frequency. In addition, the proposed examp!c fails to state the time limit for -

performing (and meeting) the surveillance following entry into Mode 1 (this would be the Completion Time of the applicable Required Action). NRC acceptance of this example would require prior owners group and TSTF approval of a corresponding generic change to all Ove STS NUREGs. Recommend withdrawal of example 1.4 4.

ComFd Resp <mse to issue

- Item a: 11S and NUREO wcre revised to adopt the word "were"in Section 1.4, Frequency Examples 1,4 3 and 1.4-4. Item [

b: No change. WOG 74 adds a fourth example (Example 1.4-4) to illustrate the use of a Surveillance Requirement (SR)

Note that states "Only required to be performed in MODE 1," As the example states, the assumed Applicability of the associated LCO is MODE 1,2, or 3. As the example also states "Should the 7 day interval be exceeded while operation is ,

not in MODE 1. this Note allows entry into and operation in MODES 2 and 3 to perform the Surveillance." Therefore, the -

i time limit for performing the SR is prior to (not following) entry into MODB 1. In Example 1.4 3, if the SR were not performed within the _"specined Frequency"(plus the extension allow ed by SR 3.0.2), the use of"Not required to be -

l. ,

performed..." permits entry into the speci0ed condition in the Note for a specined time stated in the Note to perform the i

SR In contrast,in Example 1.4 4,if the SR were not performed within the "specified Frequency"(plus the extension i

allow ed by SR 3.0.2), the use of"Only required to be performed.. " prohibits entry into the specified condition in the Note until the SR were performed.1his kind of Note appears in the following ITS SRs: 3.1.2.2,3.3.1.3,3.4.3.1,3.4.11.1 Note 2, i

3.4.Il.2,3.4.14.1,3.4.I6,2,3.5.l.5,3.5.4.I,3.5.4.2,3.7.1.1, and 3.7.2.1. Example 1.4 4 was added to avoid Operator

confusion and a potential SR 3.0,4 or SR 103 violation. Comed continues to pursue this change.

Comed Response to issue No change. The Ilackground Section of the liases for NUREO LCO 3.1.7 (page !! 3.1 39) states "An example is provided for information only in Figure 113.1.7.l" and Figure 113.1.7 1 states "This Ogure for illustration only.

" Figure in STS is for illustrative purposes". In addition, the LCO Section of the flases for NUREO LCO 3.2.3 (page 113.2

31) states that " Figure 113.2.3A.1 shows a typical target band and typical AFD acceptable operation limits" (also Ref. RAI 3.2.3 03); Figure 113.2.3 A.I states "This Ogure for illustration only. Do not use for operation." including " illustration only" Ogures in the Itases is consistent with NUREO.1431 Revision 1. The convention adopted in the !!yron and Ilraidwood ITS submittal was to delete " illustration only" Ogures in the Ilases to eliminate the possibility of an Operator inadvertently using a Dases Ogure in place of an actual Ogure.

NRC Description of luue 3.1,4 02 DOC LA9 JFD-CIO 11S SR 3.1.4.1 CT S SR 4.1.3.1.1 STS SR 3.1.5.1 De CTS and STS have an herensed SR frequency to verify rod alignment w hen the rod position deviation monitor is inoperable. %ls change has been submitted in TSTF traveller i10. TSTF.110 final disposition is pending, and has been tecommended for rejection.

Comment: Retain increased SR frequency when the rod position deviation monitor is inoperable.

Comed Response to luue No change. TSTF.110 Revision 1 relocates conditional Surveillance Requirements (SRs) for functions with inoperable alanns from the Technical Specl0 cations (TSs) to plant procedures or programs. %e TSTFjustifies this by stating that the alanns do not directly relate to the LCO limits. Inoperable alarms do not afTect the operability of the TS function. This justification was used and accepted by the Staff during the development of the IlWR NUREGs to allow relocation of the alann fur.etions from the ilWR Tuhnical Speci0 cations to plant procedures. This justification was accepted by the Staff prior to the issuance of Revision 0 of the NUREUs. Typically these alanns are monitoring parameters u hich must be verified met on a specified Frequency (e.g.,12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />), ne basis for this Frequency is justined due to the operability of the alarm function. Whenever this alarm function becomes inoperable, a more frequent SR Frequency interval is performed on the parameter (e g.,4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />). His frequency continues until the alann function is restored to operable status, Relocating this detall to plant procedures or programs would not impact the safety signincance of the TS requirement since the parameter being monitored is presumed to be operable w henever the alarm becomes inoperable, ne inoperable alann function does not impact operability of the monitored parameter, in addition, other ITS SR Frequencies are stated in the ITS Ilases to be based on associated alarms or indicatim which are assumed to be operable or available, (e.g., The Actions Section of the liases for ITS LCO 3.2.4 for Required Action A.2 states "A 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is sufficient because any additional change in QpTR should be relatively slow. Further, this Completion Time is consistent with the Frequency required for the Surveillances with an inoperable alarm or instrumentation." ne Surveillance Requirements Section of the liases for ITS LCO 3.8.1 dir. cussing SR 3.8.1.4 states "The 31 day Frequency is adequate to assure that a sufficient supply of fuel oil is available, since low level alanns are provided and facility operators would be aware of any large uses of fuel oil during this period." ne Surveillance Requirements Section of the 11ases for ITS LCO 3.9.5 discussing SR 3.9.5.1 states

  • ne Frequency of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is surncient, considering the flow, temperature, pump control, and alann indications available to the operator in the control room for monitoring the RilR System." The Surveillance Requirements Section of the Ilases for ITS LCO 3.9.6 discussing SR 3.9.6.1 states "The Frequency of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is suf0cient, considering the flow, temperature, pump control, and alann indications available to the operator for monitoring the RilR System.") These alanns' indications are not specified in the TSs but typically require additional actions within plant procedures to account for the slann/ indication not being available. Typically alarm response procedures provide guidance for any necessary actions whenever alarms are inoperable placing this detail in these procedures ensures that the operator has sullicient guidance to respond to the inoperable alarCunction and to perform the necessary conditional SRs.

Comment: 1his is not a justillable plant specific or editorial difTerence. Revise the submittal to conform to the STS.

Comed Response to issue ITS and NUREO LCO 3.2.3 and llases, and CTS Markups, were revised to adopt the Note in Condition C, As a result, LCO JfD 3.2 P8 and liases JfD 3.2 P16 were changed to "Not used." In addtion, CTS DOC 3.2 MI was created to document this change and reads " CTS Action 3.2.1.b.1 aquires with TilERMAL POWER less than 90% but equal to or greater than 50% of RATED TilERMAL POWER, redu';c TilERMAL POWER to less than 50% of RATED TilERMAL POWER within 30 minutes. ITS 3.2.3, Reqaired Action C contains the same requirement but adds a Note stating,

" Required Action C.1 must be completed w henever Condition C is entered." The ITS also provides an additional part to Condition C stating,OR TilERMAL POWER <90% RTP and greater than or equal to 50% RTP with AFD not within the acceptable operation limits, reduce TilERMAL LOWER to < $0% RTP within 30 minutes." Although an "OR" statement, this is considered to be more restrictive since, if chosen, will require TilERMAL POWER to be reduced to less than or equal to $0% RTP, even if the AFD is restored to within limits prior to completing the RTP reduction to less than or equal to 50%.1his change is consistent with the NUREG 1431."

Some STS details are removed from the ITS.

These changes are based upon T STF Il0.

Comments: 1STF Ilo has not been approved and is recommended for rejtetion. TSTF 24 has been rejected. Retain STS detail in ITS.

Comed Response to issue Regarding TSTF 24: TSTF 24 was withdrawn from the 11S submittal. Action item #31 of the generic traveler tracking system used by the Westinghouse Owner's Group (WOG) revises NUREG LCO 3.2.1 to correct errors and to reDect the majority of the core monitoring methodology used by Westinghouse plants. WOG members have reviewed this traveler and agreed to the proposed changes. The trascler is currently under review by the other Owner's Groups (OGs). lherefore, the status of this RAl is pending review by the OGs. Regarding TSTF-Il0: No change. TSTF 110 Revision I relocates conditional Surveillance Requirements (SRs) for functions with inoperable alanns from the Technical Speci0 cations (TSs) to plant procedures or programs. The TSTFjustifies this by stating that the alanns do not directly relate to the LCO limits.

Inoperable alanns do not afTect the operability of the TS function. Thisjustification was used and accepted by the Staff during the deselopment of the IlWR NUREGs to allow relocation of the alarm functions from the llWR Technical Specifications to plant procedures,1hisjusti0 cation was accepted by the Staff prior to the issuance of Revision 0 of the NURI:Gs. Typically these alanns are monitoring parameters which must be verified met on a specified Frequency (e.g.,12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />). The basis for this Frequency isjustified due to the operability of the alarm function. Whenever this alarm function becomes inoperable, a more frequent SR Frequency interval is perfonned on the parameter (e g.,4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />).1his Frequency continues until the alann function is restored to operable status. Relocating this detail to plant procedures or programs would not impact the safety signincance of the TS requirement since the parameter being monitored is presumed to be operable w henever the alarm becomes inoperable. The inoperable alarm function does not impact operability of the monitoicd parameter. In addition, other ITS SR Frequencies are stated in the ITS Bases to be based on associated alanus or indications which are assumed to be operable or as allable. (e.g.,lhe Actions Section of the Bases for ITS LCO 3.2.4 for Required Action A.2 states "A 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is suf0cient because any additional change in QpTR thould be relatively slow. Further, this Completion Time is consistent with the Frequency required for the Surveillances with an inoperable alann or instrumentation " 1he Surveillance Requirements Section of the Bases for ITS LCO 3.8.1 discussing SR 3.8.1.4 states "The 31 day Frequency is adequate to assure that a sufTicient supply of fuel oil is available, since low level alanns are provided and facility operators w ould be aware of any large uses of fuel oil during this period." The Surveillance Requirements Section of the Bases for ITS LCO 3.9.5 discussing SR 3.9.5.1 states "The Frequency of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is sufficient, considenng the flow, temperature, pump control, and alarm indications available to the operator in the control room for monitoring the RilR System." The Suncillance Requirements Section of the Bases for ITS LCO 3.9.6 discussing SR 3.9.6.1 states The Frequency of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is suflicient, considering the liow, temperature, pump control, and alann indications available to the operator for monitoring the RilR System.") These alarms / indications are not specified in the TSs but typically require additional actions within plant procedures to account for the alann' indication not being available.

Typically alann response procedures provide guidance for any necessary actions whenever alarms are inoperable. placing this detail ia these procedures ensures that the operator has sufficient guidance to respond to the inoperable alarm function and to perfonn the necessary conditional SRs (See RAls 3.1.4 02 and 3.1.6-05) Comed continues to pursue this change.
