2. REVIEW REQUIREMENTS Item 3.1.3 (Post-Maintenance Testing of Reactor Trip System Components) requires licensees and' applicants to identify, if applicable, any post-maintenance test requirements for the reactor trip system (RTS) in

~

existing. technical specifications which can be demonstrated to degrade rather than enhance safety. Item 3.2.3 applies this same. requirement to 611 other' safety-related components. .Any proposed technical specification changes resulting from this action shall receive a pre-implementation review by NRC.

The relevant submittals for River Bend Unit I were reviewed to oetermine compliance with items 3.l.3 and 3.2.3 of the generic letter.

First, the submittals from this plant were reviewed to determine that tnese two items were specifically addressed. Second, the submittals were checked i to determine if any post-maintenance test items specified in the technical specifications were identified that were suspected to degrade rather than enhance safety. Last, the submittal was reviewed for evidence of special conditions or other significant'information relating to the two items of concern.
