Dear Mr. Hall:

On August 17, 1989, the NRC staff met with NUMARC and the four nuclear steam supply system ~(NSSS) vendor owners groups to discuss the " Definitions" (chapter 1.0) and " Applicability" (3.0) sections of the new standard technical specifications (STS).

Several issues related to these sections of the new STS were identified during that meeting which required resolution. The NRC staff agreed to. meet with NUMARC and the owners groups on September 7-8,.1989 to discuss these issues.

Attached are excerpts from sectione 1.0 and 3.0 of the new STS that will be. discussed during our September 7th and 8th meeting.

I believe that providing this information to you in advance of the meeting will facilitate our discussions. Resolution of all of the issues will be f actored into each owners groups' new STS.

The NRC staf f's intention is to peepare a complete draf t of sections 1.0 and 3.0 following the September 7-8 meeting and provide them to the owners groups through NUMARC as our "first draft" of these sections.

' Limit is not-met, technical s, specifications identify Required Actions which must be completed within specified times. An understanding of the correct meaning of Completion Times is necessary for compliance with the requirements of the technical specifications.

The purpose of this section is to discuss the use of these I Completion Times, and explain, by example, the proper m e.an.n, .

COMPLETION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed to TIME complete a Required Action and is referenced to the time it is discovered that an ACTIONS Condition has been entered, unless otherwise specified. Required Actions must be completed w"Me the specified Completion Time.

Pw +0 +ns s4;nenon or When a Required Action is composed of two or more requirements they are linked by logical connectors (i.e.,

N!D or QB) and each requirement has its own separate Completion Time. Each Completion Time is referenced to the time that the ACT10NSS Condition was entered.

g 1.3 . COMPLETION TIMES TM When the ACTIONS' Condition changes, for example, from a single inoperable component to multiple inoperable components (continued). . of the; same type (e.g., two pumps inoperable instead of one - -

as shown.in the example on the following page), a new Completion Time is established. In this situation, the l l

original Condition (one pump inoperable), still exists separately for each of the two pumps. The Completion Time for the original inoperable pump continues and a separate l Cospletion Time exists for the second pump as well as for the two pump inoperable Condition. Thus- if all but eine pump is returned to OPERABLE status, the original Completion Time for the particular inoperable pump is not reset, but continues from the time that it was declared inoperable and its original Condition was entered.-

If the Completion Time for the original Conditfor. (one pump inoperable) expires while still in the new Condition (two pumps inoperable).- then the-Required Action associated with the original Condition is incomplete (see discussion of .

If the Required Action for the second Condition (8.1) is completed. .and the completion Time for the original condition (A.8) has not expired, the unit is still in the original

TmG (w',,() idhen the ACTIONS' Condition changes, for example, from a single inoperable component to multiple inoperable components of the same type (e.g., two pumps inoperable instead of.one -

as shown in the example on the following page), a new Completion Time is established. In this situation, the original Condition (one pump inoperable), still exists separately for each of the two pumps. The Completion Time for the original inoperable pump continues and a separate Completion Time exists for the second pump as well as for the two pump inoperable Condition. Thus, if all but one pump is returned to OPERABLE status, the original Completion Time for the particular inoperable pump is not reset, but continues from the time that it was declared inoperable and its original Condition was entered.

If the Completion Time. for the original Condition (one pump inoperable) expires while still in the new Condition (two pumps inoperable), then the Required Action associated with the original Condition is incomplete (see discussion of incomplete Required Actions),

4) E Degradation means the percentage of the tube wall thickness-affected or removed by degradation; 5)

Defect means an imperfection of such severity that it exceeds the plugging limit. A tube containing a defect is defective; 6)

Plugging Limit means the imperfection depth at or beyond which the tube shall be removed from service and is equal to 40%ac of-the nominal tube wall thickness;

7) Unse' 'ceable describes the condition of a tube if it leaks or contJns a defect large enough to affect its structural integ-rity in the event of an Operating Basis Earthquake, a loss-of-coolant accident, or a steam line or feedwater line break as specified in'5pecificatio 0.6.3c., above; Tube Inspection means an inspection of the steam generator tube '
