' The basis for accepting Specification 3.0.4-related amendments under Generic Letter 87-09 is predicated on two assumptions, namely, (1) that the remedial.
measures prescribec by the Technical Specification ACTION STATEMENTS for which the exception will be granted, provide a sufficient level of protection to permit operational mode changes and safe long-term operation. consistent with the licensing basis described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report for Byron and Braidwood; and (2) it will be the exception when~ plant startup comences with important' safety fedtures inoperable, irrespective of the exception granted in response to applications under Generic Letter 87-09.
We have reviewed your license amendment application under Generic Letter
- 87-09 submitted by your letter dated November 30, 1988.
In order for the NRC staff to conclude that the safety basis relative to the above stated
- assumptions is satisfied, we request that for each proposed Technical Specification exception to be granted under Generic Letter 87-09, you aff tm that remecial measures prescribed for the affected ACTION STATEMENTS are consistent with the Updated Safety Analysis Report and its supporting safety
' analyses.
In addition, we request that you identify and affirm those procedures, menagement directives, onsite safety reviews, etc. that have been established to limit the use of-the Specification 3.0.4 exceptions granted.
Your affirmation should address training necessary for ensuring that plant operators are made aware of, and are instructed to exercise, the controls promulgated in limiting the use of such exceptions.
Please advise, within five days af ter receipt of this letter, when we may expect to receive your response. Should there by any questions concerning this request, please let me know.
