- NRC-984)32 July 23,1998 DISCUSSION This Request for Revision is in accordance with a commitment to NRC Licensing Staff (during their March 30 through April 2,1998 Columbia Plant visit) to update administrative sections -

of the License Application at a logical pause in ongoing efforts by CBS Corporation to divest Westinghouse Electric Company. Subsequently, CBS Corporation has publically announced an - agreement for ' divestiture.

The enclosed administrative update reflects the current applicable details'of the agreement. It is anticipated that as this agreement proceeds, anxl as

~ he current CFFF organization is examined by Plant Management, additional updating will be t

required. Such updates will be handled in the same manner; that is, the NRC Licensing

~ Project Manager will be kept apprised of changes as they unfold, and, at a logical pause in such changes, the License Application will be formally updat' d.

e This request for revision also proposes to delete " Pellet Carts" from the list of safety-related

. systems and components to receive programmed maintenance.

This deletion is justified because:

1) A passive engineered control (chock blocks) has been designed, functionally tested, and implemented on each pellet cart to preclude the need for programmed maintenance of cart.

wheels;-

' 2) The drawing for the pellet carts was modified to ensure that any new carts (as a matter of configuration control) will be fitted with the passive control; and,

3) In the two to three years since the passive control was implemented, two instances of-wheel failure have occurred and in botlicases the passive control functioned as intended to prevent the cart from upsetting.

Finally, this request for revision proposes some self-explanatory improvements to programs and/or additional clarification of commitments.
