The proposed amendmentwould:(1)revise the Technical Specification (TS)surveillance requirement(SR3.1.3.2)frequencyinTS3
.1.3,"Control Rod OPERABILITY,"and(2)revise Example1.4-3inTS Section 1.4,"Frequency"to clarify the applicability ofthe1.25 surveillance test interval extension.Thechangesare consistent with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)approved Industryffechnical Specification Task Force (TSTF)Standard Technical Specification(STS)changeTSTF-475
, Revision 1.The F ederal Register Notice published on November13,2007 announced the availability ofthisTS improvement through the consolidatedlineitem improvement process (CLIIP).2.0 ASSESSMENT
2.1 Applicability

,aswellasthe supporting information provided to support TSTF-475, Revision 1.NMPNS has concludedthatthe justifications presentedintheTSTF proposalandthesafety evaluation preparedbytheNRC staff are applicable to Nine Mile PointUnit2(NMP2)and justify this amendmentforthe incorporation of thechangestothe NMP2 TS.2.2 Optional Changes and VariationsNMPNSis proposing to implementthefollowingTS editorial changes whichdifferfromthoseTS changes described in TSTF-475, Revision 1 ,andtheNRC staffs model safety evaluation dated November13,2007.Thechangesdonot adversely impact the considerations or conclusionsinthemodel safety evaluationortheintent of the amendment.
NMPNS chooses to designate Surveillance Requirement(SR)3.1.3.2 as"Deleted"andretain current SR numbersSR3.1.3.3,SR3.1.3.4,andSR3.1.3.5.This proposed variation will alleviate the requirement to make editorialchangeslistedin TSTF-475, Revision1forTS3.1.3,3.1.4and associatedTSBases.Additionally, the TSTF-475, Revision 1 requestedchangetotheTSBasesforSR3.1.3.4(torevise referencestoSR3.1.4.3andSR 3.1.4.4)wasnot includedasthese surveillancesarenot affectedbythe proposed changes.During the NMP2 conversiontotheSTS (NUREG-1433)forTS3.3.1.2,"Source Range Monitor (SRM)Instrumentation
" by Amendment 91 dated February 15 ,2000(TACNo.MA3822), Required Action E.2 was revised and presently reads"Initiate actiontofullyinsertall insertable controlrodsincorecells containingoneormorefuel assemblies."Theterm"fully"wasalso includedinTS Bases 3.3.1.2.Therefore,theseTSTF-475

Therefore, a verification that the separation criteria are met must beperformedimmediately.
The stuck control rod separation criteriaarenot met if:a)the stuck control rod occupies a location adjacent to two"slow" control rods,b)the stuck controlrodoccupiesa location adjacenttoone"slow" control rod, andtheone"slow" control rod is also adjacent to another"slow" controlrod,orc)if the stuck control rod occupies a location adjacenttoone"slow" control rod when there is another pair of"slow" controlrodselsewhereinthecore adjacenttoone another.The description of"slow" control rods isprovidedin LCD 3.1.4,"Control Rod ScramTimes."In addition, the associated control rod drivemustbedisarmed within2hours.The allowed Completion Timeof2hours is acceptable, considering the reactor can stillbeshut down, assuming no additional control rods fail to insert, and provides a reasonable amount oftimetoperformtheRequiredActionin an orderly manner.The control rod must be isolated frombothscram and normal insert and withdraw pressure.Isolating the control rod from scram and normal insert and withdraw pressure prevents damagetothe CROM or reactor internals.
The control rod isolation method should also ensure coolingwatertothe CRO is maintained.Monitoringofthe insertion capability for each withdrawn control rod must also be performed within24hours from discoveryofCondition A concurrent with THERMAL POWER greaterthanthe low (LPSP)of the RWM.SR 3.1.3.2SR 3.1.3.3 periodic tests of the control rod insertion capabilityofwithdrawn control rods.Testing each withdrawn control rod ensures that a genericproblemdoesnot exist.This Completion Time also allows for an exceptiontothe normal"timezero" forbeginningtheallowedoutagetime"clock." TheRequiredActionA.3 Completion Timeonlybegins upon discovery of Condition A concurrent with THERMAL POWER greater than the actual LPSP of the RWM, sincethenotch insertions maynotbe compatiblewiththe requirementsofrod pattern control (LCD 3.1.6)and the RWM (LCD 3.3.2.1).TheallowedCompletion Time provides a reasonabletimeto test the control rods , considering the potential foraneedtoreduce powertoperform the tests.(continued)
NMP2 B 3.1.3-4 Revi s ion.e; Control Rod OPERABILITY B 3.1.3 BASES ACTIONS E.1 (continued)
If anyRequiredAction and associated Completion Time of Condition A, C,orDarenot metornineor more inoperable control rods exist, the plant mustbebroughttoa MODE in which the LCOdoesnotapply.
To achieve this status, the plant mustbebroughtto MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.This ensures all insertable controlrodsare inserted and places the reactorina condition thatdoesnot require the active function (i.e., scram)ofthe control rods.The number of control rods permittedtobe inoperable when operating above 10%RTP (i.e., no CRDA considerations)couldbe more thanthevalue specified, but the occurrenceofa large number of inoperable controlrodscouldbe indicativeofa generic problem, and investigation and resolutionofthe potential problemshouldbe undertaken.
The allowed Completion Time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach MODE 3 from full power conditionsinan orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.(continued)
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SR 3.1.3.1 The positionofeach control rod must be determined, toensureadequate information on control rod position is availabletothe operator for determining control rod OPERABILITY and controlling rod patterns.Controlrod position maybedetermined bytheuseof OPERABLE position indicators, by moving controlrodstoa positionwithan OPERABLE indicator, (full-in, full-out, or numeric indicator), by verifying the indicatorsonenotch"out" and onenotch"in"are OPERABLE, or bytheuseof other appropriate methods.The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Frequency of this SR is based on operating experience relatedtoexpectedchangesin control rod position and the availability of control rod position indications in the control room.-SR aRe-SR 3.1.3.3 I-L-hJ\{No"t'e5R 3.'.3.a hfls ce e JControlrod insertion capability is demonstrated by inserting each partially or fully withdrawn controlrodat least one notch and observing that the control rod moves.The control rod maythenbe returned to its original position.Thisensuresthe control rod is not stuck andfreeto insert on a scram signal.not required when THERMAL POWER is lh I S SuRve, u,
