ENCLOSURE I Edwin I.Hatch Nuclear Plant Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Application for Technical Specification Improvement to Eliminate Requirements to Provide Monthly Operating Reports And Occupational Radiation Exposure Reports Description and Assessment

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The proposed License amendment deletes the requirements in Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.1 for an annual report on occupational radiation exposures and TS 5.6.4 for a monthly report of operating statistics and shutdown experience.

The changes are consistent with NRC approved Industry/Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specification Change Traveler, TSTF-369, "Removal of Monthly Operating Report and Occupational Radiation Exposure Report," Revision 1.

The availability of this TS improvement was announced in the Federal Register on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067), as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).

2.0 DESCRIPTION

OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT Consistent with the NRC-approved Revision 1of TSTF-369, the proposed TS changes include:

TS 5.6.1 Occupational Radiation Exposure Report Deleted TS 5.6.4 Monthly Operating Reports Deleted As addressed in the safety evaluation published in the Notice of Availability for TSTF-369, SNC is proposing to adopt "Changes to Section 5.0, Administrative Controls."

Specifically, TS 5.6.1 includes a requirement for an annual Occupational Exposure Report (ORER). As discussed in the model safety evaluation, the information needed by the NRC regarding occupational doses is provided by licensees in reports required by 10 CFR part 20. The data from the part 20 reports are sufficient to support NRC trending programs, radiation related studies, and report preparation. According to the model safety evaluation, the NRC has determined TS 5.6.1 can be deleted, and the ORER will no longer be required to be submitted by the licensee.

Also as addressed in the safety evaluation published in the Notice of Availability for TSTF-369, SNC is proposing to adopt a part of NRC-approved Revision 4 to TSTF-258, "Changes to Section 5.0, Administrative Controls." Specifically, TS 5.6.4 includes a requirement to include in the monthly operating reports any challenges to pressurizer power operated relief valves or pressurizer safety valves (for pressurized water reactors) or safety/relief valves (for boiling water reactors). The NRC model safety evaluation addressed the removal of requirements to submit monthly operating reports in those cases where the TS includes a requirement to address challenges to relief and safety valves (i.e.,

if a licensee had not yet adopted the associated part of TSTF-258).

The proposed changes are consistent with the option described in the Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) and the related documentation for both TSTF-369 and the limited portion of TSTF-258 included in this application. As addressed in the safety evaluation published in the Notice of Availability for TSTF-369, the removal of TS 5.6.1 and TS 5.6.4 resulted in various editorial and formatting changes such as the renumbering of TS sections. In this submittal, these changes do not require renumbering of TS sections nor do they revise technical or administrative requirements.

3.0 BACKGROUND

The background for this application is adequately addressed by the NRC Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004 (60 FR 35067) and TSTF-369.

4.0 REGULATORY' REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE The applicable regulatory requirements and guidance associated with this application are adequately addressed by the NRC Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) and TSTF-369.

5.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

SNC has reviewed the safety evaluation (SE) published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. This verification included a review of the NRC staff's SE and the supporting information provided to support TSTF-369. SNC has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the SE prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to FNP, HNP and VEGP and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the plants' TS.

6.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

A description of this proposed change and its relationship to applicable regulatory requirements and guidance was provided in the NRC Notice of Availability published on June 23, 2004.

6.1 Verification and Commitments As discussed in the model SE published in the Federal Register on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) for this TS improvement, SNC makes the following regulatory commitment (1.)

and verification (2.):

1. SNC is making a regulatory commitment to provide to the NRC using an industry database the operating data (for each calendar month) that is described in Generic Letter 97-02, "Revised Contents of the Monthly Operating Report," by the last day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter. The regulatory commitment will be based on use of an industry database (e.g., the industry's Consolidated Data Entry (CDE) program, currently being developed and maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations). This regulatory commitment will be implemented to prevent any gaps in the monthly operating statistics and shutdown experience provided to the NRC (i.e., data for all months will be provided using one or both systems (monthly operating reports and CDE)).
2. Each site does not have different reactor types or both operating and shutdown reactors.

El-2

7.0 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION SNC has reviewed the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) as part of the CLIPP. SNC has concluded that the staff's findings presented in that evaluation are applicable to FNP, HNP, and VEGP and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference for this application.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION SNC has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in the model SE published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067) as part of the CLIIP. SNC has concluded that the staff's finding presented in that evaluation are applicable to FNP, HNP, and VEGP and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference for this application.

9.0 PRECEDENT This application is being made in accordance with the CLIIP. SNC is not proposing variations or deviations from the TS changes described in TSTF-369 (and the limited portion of TSTF-258) or the NRC staff's model SE published on June 23, 2004 (69 FR 35067).

TYPE (Cl ck one) SCHEDULED ONE- COMPLETION COMMITMENT TIME CONTINUING DATE I ACTION COMPLIANCE (if Required)

SNC will provide to the NRC X Within 60 days using an industry database the from receipt of operating data (for each NRC approval of calendar month) that is proposed license described in Generic Letter 97- amendments.

02, "Revised Contents of the Monthly Operating Report," by the last day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter. The regulatory commitment will be based on use of an industry database (e.g., the industry's Consolidated Data Entry (CDE) program, currently being developed and maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations). This regulatory commitment will be implemented to prevent any gaps in the monthly operating statistics and shutdown experience provided to the NRC (i.e., data for all months will be provided using one or both systems (monthly operating reports and CDE)).
