ENCLOSURE 1 CONSUMERS ENERGY COMPANY PALISADES PLANT DOCKET 50-255 CONVERSION TO IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS PARTIAL RESPONSE TO JANUARY 26, 1999 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RESPONSE TO NRC QUESTIONS SECTION 3.6, CONTAINMENT LCOs 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.4, 3.6.5, & 3.6. 7
CONVERSION TO IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS RESPONSE TO JANUARY 26, 1999 REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SECTION 3.6, CONTAINMENT NRC REQUEST:
3.6.0 General 3.6.0-1 DOC A.2 (CTS Markup for ITS 3.6.1)
DOC A.2 (CTS Markup for ITS 3.6.2)
CTS 3.6 CTS 4.5 ITS 3.6 Bases DOC A.2 in Attachment 3 for the CTS markups for ITS 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 states "The Bases of the current Technical Specifications for this section have been completely replaced by the revised Bases that reflect the format and applicable content consistent with NUREG-1432. The revised Bases are shown in the proposed Technical Specifications Bases." There are no CTS Bases provided nor is there any reference in the CTS markup to specifically indicate where DOC A.2 applies. In addition a similar DOC A.2 is not provided in Attachment 3 and the CTS markups for the other five ITS 3.6 LCOs.
Comment:
Revise the CTS markup to indicate where DOC A.2 or a similar DOC applies for all ITS LCOs. Provide the appropriate discussions and justifications in Attachment 3 for the other five ITS 3.6 LCOs.
Consumers Energy Response:
On some pages of the CTS, Bases information is contained on the same page as the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requirements. As part of the CTS markups provided to support conversion to the ITS, a generic Discussion of Change (usually DOC A.2) is used to explain that the CTS Bases are replaced by the revised Bases of the ITS. For ITS 3.6.1 and ITS 3.6.2, no Bases information was contained on those CTS markup pages. Thus, DOC A.2 was inappropriately included in Attachment 3 for specifications 3.6.1 and 3.6.2. Therefore, has been modified to correct this error by indicating DOC A.2 was "Not Used."
The remaining specification in Section 3.6 have been reviewed to ensure this error was not contained in those specifications. A complete compilation of all CTS markup pages, including the superseded Bases pages, has been provided as Volume 2 to the Palisades ITS submittal.
