DearHr.Johnson,

TheproposedITScontained inthisLARarebasedonthecurrentGinnaStationTechnical Specifications (throughAmendment No.59),NUREG-1431 (Ref.(d)),andotherdocuments.

Thechangesarediscussed indetaili'nAttachment A.Revision0ofNUREG-1431 wasusedforthepreparation ofthisLARsinceRevision1hasonlyrecentlybeenissued.However,allapprovedTravellers whichwereusedtogenerateRevision1areaddressed inthissubmittal.

Theonlyexception isTraveller BWR-26,C.1relatedtoLCO3.0.4.ThisTraveller hasnotbeengenerically evaluated fortheWestinghouse plantsasrequiredbytheReviewer's NoteaddedaspartofthisapprovedTraveller.

Therefore, RG&Ehaselectedtodeferimplementation ofthisTraveller untilafterthisevaluation hasbeenperformed.

However,recirculation flowfromtheRWSTthroughtheeductorsisperformed monthly.Inaddition, samplelinesassociated withthesprayadditivetankhavenotpreviously demonstrated blockage.

Basedontheaboveinformation, RG&ErequeststhattheseSRsbedeferreduntiltherefueling outagescheduled tobeginbyApril1,1996.RG&Ewouldliketonotethatwehaverequested anexemption to10CFR50,AppendixK,SectionsI.D.3andI.D.5withrespecttoupperplenuminjection issues(Ref.(h))which,whenapproved, wouldresultinachangetotheGinnaStationlicense.Thischangeisnotaddressed, orotherwise includedwithinthisLAR.Thefinalimplementation datewillbecoordinated withtheNRCfollowing finalapprovalofthisLAR.Anyquestions relatedtothisLARshouldbedirectedtoHarkFlahertyat(716)724-8512.
