==SUBJECT:==
Industry Plan to Resolve TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions"

==Dear Sir or Madam:==

On January 18, 2008, the TSTF submitted Revision 3 of TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions." On November 4, 2008, the NRC responded to the TSTF's submittal of Revision 3 and described the changes to TSTF-493 that would be required for the NRC Staff to find the Traveler acceptable.
At a public meeting between the NRC and the industry held on January 8, 2009, the proposed course of industry action was discussed. The NRC management and industry representatives agreed to a course of action to resolve TSTF-493. The industry agreed to develop a description of the actions to be taken.
Enclosed with this letter is the paper, "Resolution of Setpoint Issues Addressed in TSTF-493,
 'Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions'." The TSTF has discussed this paper with the NRC technical staff involved in the review of TSTF-493 and we have incorporated their comments.
We are informing the NRC that the TSTF's development of a revision of TSTF-493 will be based on the concepts addressed in the enclosed paper. The TSTF is not requesting any action by the NRC in response to this letter.

Resolution of Setpoint Issues Addressed in TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions" On January 18, 2008, the TSTF submitted Revision 3 of TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions," (Ref. 1). On November 4, 2008, the NRC responded to the TSTF's submittal of Revision 3 (Ref. 2) and described the changes to TSTF-493 that would be required for the NRC Staff to find the Traveler acceptable.
The TSTF evaluated the positions in Reference 2 to determine whether they (1) addressed all the concerns that had been expressed by the NRC, (2) provide appropriate operational flexibility, and (3) are sufficiently generic to maximize industry adoption. This evaluation resulted in a proposed course of industry action.
The proposed course of industry action was considered and accepted by the Boiling Water Reactor Owners' Group (BWROG) Technical Specification Issues Coordinating Committee (TSICC) on December 3, 2008 and by the Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG) Licensing Subcommittee on December 16, 2008. The Owners Group committees were willing to accept the NRC Staff recommendations in Reference 2 with certain clarifications and implementation considerations, as described below.
The proposed course of industry action, clarifications, and implementation considerations were discussed in detail with the NRC at a public meeting on January 8, 2009. The industry was represented by the PWROG Chairman (Dennis Buschbaum) and the BWROG Chairman (Douglas Coleman). Among the NRC participants were the Director of the Division of Inspection and Regional Support (Frederick Brown), the Chiefs of the Technical Specification Branch (Robert Elliott) and the Instrumentation and Control Branch (William Kemper), as well as the responsible reviewers of TSTF-493 within their branches. The NRC management and staff provided clarifications and agreed to the resolution of the implementation issues in a manner consistent with the Owners Group committee's desired resolution.
Therefore, the Owners Groups and the NRC have reached agreement on the actions necessary to resolve the setpoint issues addressed in TSTF-493.
The changes to be incorporated in TSTF-493, Revision 4, to implement this agreement are described below.
Scope of Functions to be Addressed In order to reach resolution with the NRC on TSTF-493, the industry agrees to add the TSTF-493 footnotes to all instrument functions in the LCOs for the Reactor Trip System (also called Reactor Protection System), the Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (also called Emergency Core Cooling System) and some instrument functions in other LCOs identified by the BWROG in TSTF-493, Revision 3.
Attachment A, "Identification of Functions to be Annotated with the TSTF-493 Footnotes," includes the disposition of Functions to be included in TSTF-493. The indicated generic dispositions were discussed with the NRC in a teleconference held on February 11, 2009 and the NRC staff agreed that the Attachment indicates those functions applicable to all licensees for which no plant-specific analysis is required.
1                                 02/16/2009

Resolution of Setpoint Issues Addressed in TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions" Licensees may choose to submit analysis to support plant-specific deviations from the list when adopting TSTF-493.
Functions are exempted from the application of the TSTF-493 footnotes if the functions are:
: 1. Manual actuation circuits
: 2. Automatic actuation logic circuits, or
: 3. Instrument functions that derive input from contacts which have no associated sensor or adjustable device, e.g., limit switches, breaker position switches, etc.
Many permissives or interlocks are excluded under this criterion. Other permissives and interlocks rely on the input from a sensor or adjustable device (e.g., a pressure transmitter). If the permissive or interlock derives input from a sensor or adjustable device that is tested as part of another TS function, then the permissive or interlock is excluded from the footnotes. Otherwise, the footnotes are added to the permissive or interlock to ensure that it is functioning as expected.
The industry agreement to annotate these functions with the TSTF-493 footnotes does not represent industry acceptance of the NRC's definition of SL-LSSS in Reference 2 or agreement that the functions to be annotated are LSSS, that the functions protect a Safety Limit, or that the functions meet a 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) criteria. For example, the industry is considering the applicability of the 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2) criteria under Risk Informed Technical Specifications Task Force (RITSTF) Initiative 8a, and this agreement to resolve TSTF-493 does not prejudice that effort . The TSTF will eliminate the discussion of Safety Limits and Safety Limit-LSSS from the TSTF-493 justification and Bases.
Bases Addition for Instrumentation Functions that are Not Annotated with the Footnotes In Reference 2, the NRC Staff requested that for each instrument trip or actuation function (with the same limitations as applicable for the footnotes) not annotated with the TSTF-493 footnotes, the TS Bases should address the agreement concepts for testing (similar to the application of the footnotes) to ensure instruments are functioning as required in accordance with analyses of record. This would eliminate the need for NRC Staff RAIs to request this information during individual plant-specific license amendment reviews.
At the January 8, 2009, meeting the NRC Staff and industry representatives agreed that Surveillance Requirement Bases of ISTS Section 3.3, "Instrumentation," that verify the setpoint for instruments which provide an automatic actuation function and that are not annotated with the TSTF-493 footnotes will be modified to include the following statement, "There is a plant specific program which verifies that this instrument channel functions as required by verifying the as-left and as-found settings are consistent with those established by the setpoint methodology."

Resolution of Setpoint Issues Addressed in TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions" The details of how the plant-specific program performs the verification described in the Bases statement and the method for establishing the as-left and as-found settings which are under licensee control would be subject to NRC inspection and to verification of compliance with the Bases statement.
TSTF-493 Adoption In the NRC's July 25, 2007, RAI on TSTF-493, the NRC requested that TSTF-493 contain a second option (Option B) which would relocate the trip setpoints to a licensee-controlled program. The NRC suggested that the format and content of Option B should be modeled after the Section 3.3 "Instrumentation," TS in ESBWR Design Control Document, Tier 2, Chapter 16, Technical Specifications and Bases dated 12/15/2006. A Setpoint Control Program (SCP) is added to the programmatic requirements in Section 5.0, "Administrative Controls." The SCP contains the TSTF-493 footnotes, a reference to the NRC staff Safety Evaluation for the approved licensee setpoint methodology, and identifies the licensee-controlled document that contains the relocated values and the calculated limiting trip setpoint. After adoption of the Setpoint Control Program, the licensee can revise these values using the approved methodology without NRC involvement.
In Reference 1, the TSTF acknowledged that Option B had many merits, but declined to pursue this second Option. After further consideration, the Owners Groups have agreed to include the Setpoint Control Program option in TSTF-493, Revision 4. However, the operating plants will develop their own proposal for a Setpoint Control Program which may be different from that proposed for the ESBWR.
The industry plans to discuss three TSTF-493 adoption strategies in Revision 4. The NRC staff agreed that a licensee may pursue any of these strategies when adopting TSTF-493, Rev. 4.
: 1. Setpoint Control Program Under this adoption strategy, a licensee proposes to relocate the TS Section 3.3, "Instrumentation," Limiting Trip Setpoints, Nominal Trip Setpoints, and/or Allowable Values from the Technical Specifications to a licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program. The requirements for the Setpoint Control Program will be described in Chapter 5, "Administrative Controls." The licensee will either provide regulatory approval citations for their setpoint methodologies or, as applicable, will submit their setpoint methodology or methodologies used to calculate the relocated parameters for NRC review and approval. Each instrument surveillance requirement will contain a requirement to perform the surveillance test in accordance with the SCP.
: 2. Adoption of TSTF-493 with Changes to Setpoint Values Under this adoption strategy, a licensee submits a license amendment that adopts TSTF-493 (e.g., the footnotes are added to all the functions identified in TSTF-493 and the Bases changes are incorporated). One or more setpoint values are also proposed to be revised. The licensee is not required to provide the setpoint 3                                  02/16/2009

Resolution of Setpoint Issues Addressed in TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions" methodology for review. However, the licensee will provide a summary calculation for the revised setpoints. If multiple similar setpoints are proposed to be revised, the licensee may provide a summary calculation for each type of setpoint being revised provided that the amendment request contains a reasoned quantitative or qualitative analysis, as appropriate, of how the summary calculation(s) represent the type of setpoint values proposed to be changed.
: 3. Adoption of TSTF-493 with No Changes to Setpoint Values Under this adoption strategy, a licensee submits a license amendment that adopts TSTF-493 (e.g., the footnotes are added to all the functions identified in TSTF-493 and the Bases changes are incorporated). No changes to any setpoint values are proposed. Since no setpoint values are being revised, the licensee is not required to provide the setpoint methodology for review or to provide any full or summary calculations.
Until the NRC approves TSTF-493, Rev. 4, the TSTF encourages licensees to delay submittal of licensing actions that are affected by this issue. However, if a licensee desires to pursue such a licensing action prior to the approval of TSTF-493, we encourage them to be consistent with the approach to be used for TSTF-493, Rev. 4, with the exception that the TSTF-493 footnotes would be applied only to the specific setpoints being changed.
Next Actions
: 1. The TSTF will create a document describing the agreements reached between the industry and the NRC, provide it for industry review and comment. The document will include the specific functions to be annotated with Notes 1 and 2 in TSTF-493, Rev. 4. This action is complete.
: 2. The TSTF and the NRC will meet to review the industry document and to resolve any differences and then will transmit the document to the NRC. This action is complete.
: 3. The TSTF will develop TSTF-493, Revision 4, in accordance with the industry document and obtain industry review and concurrence.
: 4. The TSTF will request a meeting with the NRC to review the draft Revision 4 to resolve any misunderstandings or discrepancies.
: 5. After addressing any changes resulting from the meeting with the NRC, the TSTF will submit TSTF-493, Rev. 4, in the Spring of 2009. The TSTF will request that the NRC expeditiously pursue approval of TSTF 493 to resolve this longstanding issue.
