1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated April 5,1989, Georgia Power Company, et al., requested a change to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Units 1 and 2.
The proposed change deletes footnotes which are no longer applicable after the initial entry of Yogtle Unit 2 into Mode 2 operation. The Technical Specification sections involved are 3.3.3.6, 3.4.4,
' 3.7.1.2, 3.7.7, 3.9.1, Table 3.3-4, and Table 4.3-3.
2.0. EVALUATION.
The subject footnotes were included in the combined Vogtle Unit 1 and Unit 2 TS issued with the Unit 2 low power operating license. The footnotes delay the applicability of certain requirements to Unit 2 during initial fuel load and curing initial opcration in Modes 3 and 4.
After the initial entry of Unit 2 into Mode 2, the footnotes would no longer be applicable.
' Unit 2 has completed initial fuel loading and initial entry into Mode 2.
In order to prevent confusion with respect to initial entries into Mode 2 after refueling and to remove footnotes that are no longer applicable, Georgia Power Company is proposing to remove the footnotes regarding initial applicability.
The NRC staff has reviewed this request and finds that it deletes footnotes that are no longer applicable. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the change is accepteble.
