$UBJECT: SupptDUTAL REspoust TO TE TIA CONCDlIIING TECallCAL 5ptCIf!CATICII pSACTICES AT DlWIE ARNOLD i

In a menorenJun dated April 1, IM7, you roguested that the Technical Specifications Branch (158) supplement its January 16,1997 TIA response canceratag the acceptability of the practice at Duane Arasold of not entering 11alting canditfons for operaties (tCos) to perfem serve 111ances. Based on the meeting that oss held with the licensee se March 20, 1997, as well as on subsequent dinassless between T58 and DRPW, T58 conc 1mdes the following:

1. The Jamsary 16, 1997 response to the TIA contine s to be the branch positten. The Osaae Arnold practice of restinely not entering LCos to perform serveillances, even when the surveillance renders t84 equipment inoperable, is not coaststaat with the intended technical specificatten .

(15) practices. However, because the licassee has effectively eccampilshed the intended result of the 15 through the use of adelaistrative controls, there is no famediate safety issue.

2. Whlis not a subject of the TIA, the licassee's practices regarding castrel of tastruneatation setpelats are not fully controlled under the

15. As with its control of serveillances, the licensee appears to be effectively contro111ag champes ta lastrunestaties setpelats using adelaistrative means such that there is as imediate safety issue.

However, further inspecties fladlags may reveal the need for enforcement acties if the setpelat changes did not comply with 10 CFR 50.59. ,

3. Bringlag the practices at Duane Arnold late casformance with present T5 l

esage conventions would be best accomplished by the NItC staff completing Its review of the licensee's October 30,1996, amendment request to ,,

coevert the Dsame Arnold T5 to the improved standard T5.
