The Reference proposed to revise -Technical Specification Chapter 5.0 to allow the use of generic personnel titles 'as provided by ANSI/ANS-3.1-1978, "American National Standard for Selection and Training of Nuclear Power Plant Personnel," in lieu of plant specific personnel titles.- In a telephone conference on August 21, 2002, between Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) and Mr. Jack Donohew, NRC Project Manager, WCNOC agreed-to provide -supple-mental information concerning the Reference. .

The proposed changes in the Reference are consistent with industry technical specification task "force(TSTF) traveler TSTF-065, Revision 1. In discussions with Mr. Donohew, it was identified that additional changes to Technical Specification 5.2.1 should have been proposed to be consistent with TSTF-065, Revision 1. Attachment II provides additional changes to Technical Specification 5.2.1 and replaces page 3 of 6 In Attachment III of the Reference.

The Reference indicated that the relationships between the titles in ANSI/ANS-3.1-1978 and the plant specific personnel titles will be described -in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) upon implementation of the amendment. In discussions with Mr. Donohew, it was identified that WCNOC would meet this commitment with the approval of a USAR change request at the time of implementation. Full incorporation of-the relationships between titles would occur in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.71(e).

The supplemental information provided in this submittal does not impact the conclusions of the NoSignificant Hazards Consideration provided in the Reference.
