-MEMORANDUM FOR: . C. Knop, RII THRU: . NiY[e[.' /D for Field Coordination, ROI/IE FROM:

F. J. Nolan, IE

SUBJECT:

INTENT OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (TS) REQUIREMENT RELATING TO ApRM FLUX TRIP Al QUAD CITIES -

MEMORAt100M DATED 5/25/77, DOCKET t:0. 50-254 / / < s '/ # Q l

As discussed in the subject memorandum, item 6.6 B.1.d of the facility .

TS states that prompt notification with written followup is required )

l for reactivity anomalies involving short term reactivity increescs '

that correspond to a reactor period of less than 5 seconds. Discussions with IE. and NRR personnel who were men,bers of a task force that developed Regulatory Guide 1.16 and NRR personnel responsible for STS

- revealed that the intent of the above TS has always been to require '

prompt notification of such short term reactivity anomalies regardless of the cause or conditions'under which they occur.

Regarding your. recommendation that appropriate inspection modules be ,j revised to require the inspector to review problem reports ' associated q

with all potential short period transients, please note that this effort should be accomplished as part of Inspection Procedure 717108, Review of Plant Operations. Procedure 71710B requires the inspector to review problem identification reports and confirm that there are no violations of Technical Specification reporting requirements and to review monitoring instrumentation and compare. recorded values with TS limitations.

l We plan no further action regarding the information discussed in your memorandum. If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact me.
