" Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) on the applicability of Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Require-ments," to provide guidance for short-term improvements to resolve immediate concerns th t have been identified in investigations of TS problems.
In GL 67-09, th0 :!RC staff encourage the utilities to incorporate these changes; however, tese changes would only be on a voluntary basis.
Consequently, OPPD incorporated some of these modifications in the Fort Calhoun Station TS to bring them closer in line to the Standard TS with respect to the applicability of surveillance requirements.
All the changes requested by OPPD are changes that are addressed by GL 87-09, and therefore, the staff finds these changes acceptable.
