ENCLOSURE Overview The intent of Technical Specification (TS) Sections 3/4.9.4 and 3/4.9.9 is to restrict the release of radioactive material from the Containment atmosphere to the environment during refueling mode as stated by their corresponding bases.
Deficiency Although the proposed change is categorized as an " Administrative" change, the application fails to consider:
~l 1.
the appropriateness of TS 3.9.4 and proposed TS 3.9.9 during those Mode 6 periods when core alterations or movement of irradiated fuel within the Containment is not in progress, yet heavy load (e.g., reactor vessel head, overhead loads) activities may be in progress over the refueling cavity; j
2.
the absence of a TS under such ccnditions, which would pennit such operations to be conducted without requiring containment isolation capability; l
3.
the appropriateness of TS 3.9.4 and proposed TS 3.9.9 during Mode 6 operations (not core alterations), in light of Trojan's loose fuel particle / contamination experience, and the need for containment isolation capability; and 4.
the inconsistency of TS 3.9.4 with respect to TS 3.9.9 vice the reverse.
