Docket No. 50-482: Clean Revised Technical Specification Pages for License Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specifications to Transition to Westinghouse Core Design and Safety Analysis Including Adoption ofAlternative Source Term To Whom It May Concern:

Reference 1 provided the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) application to revise the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) Technical Specifications (TS). The proposed amendment would support transition to the Westinghouse Core Design and Safety Analysis methodologies. In addition, the license amendment request (LAR) included revising the WCGS licensing basis by adopting the Alternative Source Term radiological analysis methodology in accordance with 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident Source Term." As part of the original LAR, a number of revised TS pages were submitted. Since that time, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has provided a number of requests for additional information (RAls) related to this LAR. References 2, 3, and 4 provided WCNOC's responses to RAls which included revised TS pages. In some cases, these revised TS pages were revising TS pages that were previously submitted. The intent of this submittal is to provide all of the clean, revised TS pages associated with this LAR in their most current form. The enclosure to this submittal provides these TS pages.

This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel indication and status to other indications or status derived from independent instrument channels measuring the same parameter.

CHANNEL OPERATIONAL A COT shall be the injection of a simulated or actual signal TEST (COT) into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify OPERABILITY, of all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY. The COT shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the required alarm, interlock, and trip setpoints required for channel OPERABILITY such that the setpoints are within the necessary range and accuracy. The COT may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps.

Suspension of CORE AL TERATIONS shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position.

CORE OPERATING LIMITS The COLR is the unit specific document that provides cycle REPORT (COLR) specific parameter limits for the current reload cycle. These cycle specific parameter limits shall be determined for each reload cycle in accordance with Specification 5.6.5. Plant operation within these limits is addressed in individual Specifications.

The determination of DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 shall be performed using thyroid dose conversion factors from Table 2.1 of EPA Federal Guidance Report No. 11, 1988, "Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air Concentration and Dose Conversion Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion."

If a specific noble gas nuclide is not detected, it should be assumed to be present at the minimum detectable activity.

The determination of DOSE EQUIVALENT XE-133 shall be performed using the effective dose conversion factors for air submersion listed in Table 111.1 of EPA Federal Guidance Report No. 12, 1993, "External Exposure to Radionuclides in Air, Water, and Soil."
