          .The above changes are proposed in order to make the technical specifications!
* Lconsistent with the present organization for the ONP. Several positions
          . currently infthe technical specifications no longer exist after the recent-reorganization.
3                              This change'will identify the positions currently responsible for those functions.
  ^          Removing 'the offsite organization for radiological environmental monitoring
                          ~
program and dose calculations will eliminate unnecessary, redundant-information from the technical specifications and avoid potential future
          -amendment proposals because of realignment of referenced organizations.
The responsibilities of PORS include, but are not limited to, preparing LERs, investigation of potential reportable occurrences, and technical specification special reports,-as assigned.
Justification for Chanae The~ changes proposed are being made to improve the responsiveness of the organizations in ONP. -The new organization is intended to improve performance in every area of plant operation by clearly defining the lines of responsibility and accountability.
The information on the offsite organization for radiological environmental          i monitoring program and dose calculations is discussed in section 6.3.2 under the Radiological Assessment Review Committee. Item 6.2.1.2,' figure 6.2.3, and table 6.1-1 provide unnecessary detailed information. This information is subject to change due to organizational realignments ~ resulting in- the need for unnecessary and avoidable technical specification amendment proposals.          This information is omitted in revision 5 of the Standard Technical specifications (NUREG-0452), which indicates that the evaluation of this information as being superfluous ic correct.
No function previously identified as important to safety has been deleted.
Only a realignment of functions into positions of realigned responsibilities has taken place.
Item B - Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC)
Description of Channe i
The proposed changes affecting PORC will delete several items from PORC                {
responsibility and place them under the new " technical review and control"            l process. The process will establish required ~" independent qualified review" and cross-disciplinary review and approval to support changes currently under PORC review responsibility. PORC will'now be responsible for providing an oversight review of selected safety evaluations reviewed under'the new
        . process. This change will also clarify PORC responsibilities for review of violations of the technical specifications and reportable events. Changes to sections 6.5.1.7, 6.5.2. 7, 6.8.1, 6.8 !2, 6.8.5,- 6.13, and 6.15 are made to reflect consistency with the changes to PORC responsibility. Also, chanses to accurately reflect the titles of the regular PORC members are being made.

                                                                                                                .                                .section 6.8.3 will. delete the use of temporary changes to procedures.                                                                          ,
Temporary approval may be provided under unusual circumstances, provided final approval is implemented within 14 days in accordance with section 6.5.1A.                                                                      A typographical error is corrected in specification 6.15.1.1.a.
Reason for Channe.
                                - A very large administrative burden to PORC has resulted from the currentL
                                  ' interpretation of review requirements for administrative procedures and
,                                  procedural changes. Proposed technical specification changes and the large number of modifications also add to this burden. The proposed change will                                                                                    '
allow the use of individual qualified reviewers to reduce this burden. The current requirements have reduced the time available for PORC to review and focus on significant safety issues.and limits supervisory time available for verifying that operating activities are conducted safely and in accordance i                                  with administrative controls. The proposed title changes are consistent with i                                  revision 2 of the Nuclear Performance Plan.
Justification for Channe The following responsibilities will be removed from PORC in section 6.5.1.6:                                                                                  {
.                                  a)        1)  Review and approval of procedures required by specification 6.8.1 i
and other procedures whir $ affect plant nuclear safety and changes theroto will be controlled under section 6.5.1A, " Technical Review and Control."
j                                                  A new administrative instruction, AI-43 (Independent Qualified
{-                                                  Review), will establish requirements for " Technical Review and
!                                                  Control." AI-43 will establish qualifications and training l-requirements necessary for qualified reviewers. Specific guidelines are given for performing the independent qualified review, and the                                                                    -
t                                                  2Ppropriate level of management to approve the change will be designated. A copy of AI-43 is provided in attachment 1. This i,
procedure is in draf t form and minor changes are expected to occur to reach a final product. However, the key elements noted above represent the main considerations necessary to implement the new j                                                  review process. TVA will inform NRC of any significant changes which may occur to this procedure.
i i                                                  AI-4, " Preparation, Review Approval, and Use of Plant                                                                                        '
;                                                  Instructions," will require review and approval in accordance with i                                                  AI-43.            Additionally, AI-4 will require a larger review and higher level of management approval for designated administrative instructions and procedures affecting safety-related functions.
;.                                                  Appropriate managers responsible for approval of different groups of procedures will be designated within their field of responsibility.                                                                          l QA will be given the option to review all changes. Items which are not applicable to QA review* will be marked accordingly.

: 2) Review of all programs required by specification 6.8.5 and changes ,
thereto will be controlled under new section 6.5.1A. Specification 6.8.5 is being revised to include this review, i          3) ' Review of any other proposed procedures or changes thereto as determined by the Plant Manager to affect nuclear safety will be deleted. However, specification 6.5.1.6.h (will be relabeled as f) gives the' Plant Manager the authority to escalate any item to be reviewed by PORC. Additionally, AI-43 will contain a clause which allows the qualified reviewer or the responsible manager approving the procedure or procedure change the right to request PORC review, b)        Review of all proposed tests and experiments that affect nuclear safety will be controlled under section 6.5.1A. The review cycle will consist of the qualified reviewer's approval and the responsible section supervisor's approval. The Plant Manager, NPP Superintendent, or Maintenance Superintendent must provide final approval, i      c)        Review of all proposed changes to appendix    "A" of the technical specifications will be controlled under section 6.5.1A. The review process will be done in accordance with AI-43, and the proposed change must be approved by the Plant Manager. Additionally, the proposed technical specification change must receive NSRB approval before being sent to NRC.
d)        Review of all proposed changes or modifications to unit systems or equipment that affect nuclear safety will be controlled under section 6.5.1A. Additionally.. Quality Engineering and Control will review all workplans before initial approval. The Plant Manager, NPP Superintendent, or Maintenance Superintendent must provide final approval of the change.                                                                          .
i and j) Review of the Plant Physical Security Plan, the Site Radiological Emergency Plan, and implementing procedures is also covered by specification 6.8.1. Review and approval of changes to these procedures will be done in accordance with section 6.5.1A. Also, an audit under the cognizance of NSRB will be performed at least once every 12 months of the Plant Physical Security Plan, the Safeguard Contingency Plan, the Site Radiological Emergency Plan, and implementing procedures.
i l
 
o_ .
: 1)        Review of changes to the radweste treatment' systems is also covered _
by specification 6.15. Review and approval of these changes will be done in accordance with section 6.5.1A. Additionally, Quality =
Rngineering and control will review all changes before being
.,                approved. The Plant Manager, NPP Superintendent, or Maintenance Superintendent must provide final approval of the change.              -
        .m)        Review of meeting minutes of the Radiological Assessment. Review Committee (RARC) is no longer needed under the new organization.
Technical.and' administrative review used to be split between two separate TVA organizations, one nonnuclear. PORC review was necessary to oversee the technical review done by RARC. The new organization has brought the technical expertise under the nuclear organization that PORC is under, thus deleting the need for PORC review. .PORC and RARC are equal-level committees subject to the same governing upper-tier nuclear procedures.. Reports and meeting minutes of both committees are reviewed under cognizance of NSRB.
Specification 6.5.3.1 sets forth the functional requirements for SQN RARC.- The committee shall advise the Radiological Control Manager and the Plant Manager on all matters related to radiological assessments involving dose calculations and projections and environmental monitoring. The Plant Manager has the authority to request PORC review of any significant items.
The following PORC responsibilitiet- will be revised in section 6.5.1.6 e)        Item "e" will be relabeled as item "c." The proposed change more.
accurately reflects the PORC function intended for review of technical specification violations. It is not practical for PORC to perform investigation of the violation. Investigation and preparation of reports covering evaluations and recommendations to        i prevent recurrence are performed by the appropriate line                  i organization. PORC will provide oversight to ensure the evaluations        i and recommendations are sufficient and complete.
l f)      Item "f" will be relabeled as item    "d."  The proposed change requires PORC review of all reportable events. Reportable event is defined by the technical specifications as those conditions specified by section 50.73 to 10 CFR Part 50. The change will be consistent with-Specification 6.6, " Reportable Event Action," and is consistent with the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specification (NUREC-0452).

way N8kB review is required to be conducted. NSRB delegates the review through use of appointed subcosmittees. The newly restructured NSRB does not l                believe the revised wording would' allow this delegation.            The proposed change clearly states NSRB's responsibility to be cognizant of the identified review items.                                                                                                  ,

Temporary approval of j                  procedure changes will. be permitted if the appropriate manager is not i                  available to allow for the normal review process. Temporary approval shall I                  consist of two qualified reviewers (per AI-43) of the plant management staff, i                  at least one of whom holds a Senior Reactor Operator License on the unit l                  affected. Upon temporary approval, the change may be implemented. Final                                l
!                  approval must be given within 14 days of the temporary approval.                                      -

The detailed technical reviews can be accomplished by qualified i                  individuals not encumbered with other managerial duties but possessing the j                  technical expertise to provide a thorough review. The current technical I                specification' requirement for review of changes is actually satisfied by
}                  individuals of a similar responsibility level; however, considerable                                      i i                  management time is consumed in assigning these personnel to review each 1

meeting to recommend a disposition. The method requested by this amendment.
eliminates much of the unnecessary effort and at the same time provides a more consistent review and approval process. The process will focus responsibility
  ,    and accountability to the technical reviewers and provide a better review.
Cross-disciplinary review will also be improved from current methods because reviewers will be able to concentrate on their particular areas of expertise.
The most important safety consideration is that this amendment permits PORC members to focus their attention on the safety significance of the issues essential to the safe operation of the plant, thereby improving PORC's effectiveness. This aspect is increasingly important because of the growing complexity of nuclear plant operation.
For the reasons stated above, TVA has concluded that the proposed technical specification changes affecting PORC will significantly enhance management control and nuclear safety.
Item C - Independent Safety Evaluation Group (ISEG)
Description of Change The composition of ISEG for SQN has been changed from five dedicated full-time onsite engineers to three dedicated full-time onsite engineers supplemented by two full-time engineers located in corporate headquarters and shared by all TVA nuclear facilities. ISEG will now report to the Director of Nuclear Safety and Licensing Division.
Reason for change This change will allow TVA to better utilize the expertise available for all its nucicar sites. This will also allow ISEG organization to better maintain cognizance of issues which are potentially generic to TVA's nuclear sites.
Justification for Change This change will make all of TVA's nuclear sites consistent. By utilizing the three onsite full-time dedicated engir.cers supplomented by two offsite full-time engineers it will be possible to botter communicato information on issues of generic applicability and, at the same time, fulfill the function of ISEG fully with the available personnel. In case of an immediate need for offsite support this support will be easily accessible.
The administrative move of ISEG to report to the Director of Nuclear Safety and Licensing Division is consistent with the intent of ISEG and the proposed alignment in standard technical specifications (revision 5) which proposes that ISEC report to a high level corporate official in a technically oriented position outside the management chain for power tiroduction. This change is also consistent with revision 2 of the Nuclear Performance plan.
 
                                                    -3 Item D - Radiolonical Assessment Review Committee (*ABC)                        ..
Description of Channe
  ,        The administrative change is to change the titles of the members of RARC to be consistent with the positions responsible for those functions under the new organization.
RARC provides reports to the Manager of Radiological Control (formerly the Chief Radiological' Hygiene Branch) and the Plant Manager. Any reference to the Chief, Radiological Hygiene Branch should now read Manager of Radiological Control, and any reference to the Radiological Hygiene Branch should read.                        ,
Radiological Control.                                                                            '
Reason for Channe The positions identified in the current revision of technical specifications no longer exist because of the recent reorganization. This change is intended to identify equivalent positions and is consistent with revision 2 of the Nuclear Performance Plan.
Justification for Channe The purpose of RARC is to advise the Manager of Radiological . Control and the Plant Manager on all matters related to radiological assessments involving dose calculations and projections and environmental monitoring. This change serves to identify the positions which serve to provide this expertise and provide the functions necessary to perform and document this role. The changes in 6.5.3.4, meeting frequency, as an alternative allows credit to be taken for any meeting requested and subsequently convened by the RARC Chairman or a plant representative to satisfy the requirement to meet at least every six months. The changes in 6.5.3.5, quorum, ' ensure that a plant                            -
representative is in attendance at each meeting in order to satisfy plant
                                                                      ~
manager responsibilities. The changes in 6.5.3.6, Responsibilities, clarify our understanding of the defined responsibilities.
Item E - Fire Brigade Members Description of Channe For unit 1 technical specifications, change 6.2.2.e to specify the shift supervisor as one of the three excluded personnel from membership in the fire brigade.

* room as much as possible without the distraction of intimate involvement in fire fighting efforts.
;                            This change is more restrictive (i.e., more conservative) than currently configured in unit 1 technical specifications.
I Unit 2 technical specifications currently are configured this way. The fire
,                            brigade is shared between the two units, as is the shift supervisor, and this rule, being the more restrictive of the two, is already being followed.
This change will, for clarification purposes, bring unit 1 technical specifications into agreement with the comparable specification for unit 2.
This change will also make SQN's technical specifications consistent with j                            revision 5 of the standard technical specifications.

1 This administrative change is being made to change the title of Plant i Superintendent to' Plant Manager, t 4 The Plant Manager will report directly to the Site Director. The title of } Assistant Director of Nuclear Power '(Operations) is being changed to Site Director. The chief officer of the ONP is now titled Manager of Nuclear Power. Any -

,                         references to the-Manager of Power are changed to read Manager of Nuclear Power.

4 The Health Physicist is now titled Site Radiological Control Superintendent. j The. reference to'the offsite organization for radiological. environmental i monitoring program ~and dose calculations (item 6.2.1.2), table 6.1-1, and figure 6.2-3 is being removed. ' ' The site organization includes the new Plant Operation Review Staff (PORS). l PORS is a staff reporting to the~ Assistant-Plant Manager.

          .The above changes are proposed in order to make the technical specifications!
  • Lconsistent with the present organization for the ONP. Several positions
          . currently infthe technical specifications no longer exist after the recent-reorganization.

3 This change'will identify the positions currently responsible for those functions.

 ^          Removing 'the offsite organization for radiological environmental monitoring
                          ~

program and dose calculations will eliminate unnecessary, redundant-information from the technical specifications and avoid potential future

          -amendment proposals because of realignment of referenced organizations.

The responsibilities of PORS include, but are not limited to, preparing LERs, investigation of potential reportable occurrences, and technical specification special reports,-as assigned. Justification for Chanae The~ changes proposed are being made to improve the responsiveness of the organizations in ONP. -The new organization is intended to improve performance in every area of plant operation by clearly defining the lines of responsibility and accountability. The information on the offsite organization for radiological environmental i monitoring program and dose calculations is discussed in section 6.3.2 under the Radiological Assessment Review Committee. Item 6.2.1.2,' figure 6.2.3, and table 6.1-1 provide unnecessary detailed information. This information is subject to change due to organizational realignments ~ resulting in- the need for unnecessary and avoidable technical specification amendment proposals. This information is omitted in revision 5 of the Standard Technical specifications (NUREG-0452), which indicates that the evaluation of this information as being superfluous ic correct. No function previously identified as important to safety has been deleted. Only a realignment of functions into positions of realigned responsibilities has taken place. Item B - Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) Description of Channe i The proposed changes affecting PORC will delete several items from PORC { responsibility and place them under the new " technical review and control" l process. The process will establish required ~" independent qualified review" and cross-disciplinary review and approval to support changes currently under PORC review responsibility. PORC will'now be responsible for providing an oversight review of selected safety evaluations reviewed under'the new

       . process. This change will also clarify PORC responsibilities for review of violations of the technical specifications and reportable events. Changes to sections 6.5.1.7, 6.5.2. 7, 6.8.1, 6.8 !2, 6.8.5,- 6.13, and 6.15 are made to reflect consistency with the changes to PORC responsibility. Also, chanses to accurately reflect the titles of the regular PORC members are being made.

Temporary approval may be provided under unusual circumstances, provided final approval is implemented within 14 days in accordance with section 6.5.1A. A typographical error is corrected in specification 6.15.1.1.a. Reason for Channe.

                                - A very large administrative burden to PORC has resulted from the currentL
                                  ' interpretation of review requirements for administrative procedures and
,                                  procedural changes. Proposed technical specification changes and the large number of modifications also add to this burden. The proposed change will                                                                                     '

allow the use of individual qualified reviewers to reduce this burden. The current requirements have reduced the time available for PORC to review and focus on significant safety issues.and limits supervisory time available for verifying that operating activities are conducted safely and in accordance i with administrative controls. The proposed title changes are consistent with i revision 2 of the Nuclear Performance Plan. Justification for Channe The following responsibilities will be removed from PORC in section 6.5.1.6: { . a) 1) Review and approval of procedures required by specification 6.8.1 i and other procedures whir $ affect plant nuclear safety and changes theroto will be controlled under section 6.5.1A, " Technical Review and Control." j A new administrative instruction, AI-43 (Independent Qualified {- Review), will establish requirements for " Technical Review and

!                                                  Control." AI-43 will establish qualifications and training l-requirements necessary for qualified reviewers. Specific guidelines are given for performing the independent qualified review, and the                                                                    -

t 2Ppropriate level of management to approve the change will be designated. A copy of AI-43 is provided in attachment 1. This i, procedure is in draf t form and minor changes are expected to occur to reach a final product. However, the key elements noted above represent the main considerations necessary to implement the new j review process. TVA will inform NRC of any significant changes which may occur to this procedure. i i AI-4, " Preparation, Review Approval, and Use of Plant '

;                                                  Instructions," will require review and approval in accordance with i                                                   AI-43.            Additionally, AI-4 will require a larger review and higher level of management approval for designated administrative instructions and procedures affecting safety-related functions.
. Appropriate managers responsible for approval of different groups of procedures will be designated within their field of responsibility. l QA will be given the option to review all changes. Items which are not applicable to QA review* will be marked accordingly.

2) Review of all programs required by specification 6.8.5 and changes ,

thereto will be controlled under new section 6.5.1A. Specification 6.8.5 is being revised to include this review, i 3) ' Review of any other proposed procedures or changes thereto as determined by the Plant Manager to affect nuclear safety will be deleted. However, specification 6.5.1.6.h (will be relabeled as f) gives the' Plant Manager the authority to escalate any item to be reviewed by PORC. Additionally, AI-43 will contain a clause which allows the qualified reviewer or the responsible manager approving the procedure or procedure change the right to request PORC review, b) Review of all proposed tests and experiments that affect nuclear safety will be controlled under section 6.5.1A. The review cycle will consist of the qualified reviewer's approval and the responsible section supervisor's approval. The Plant Manager, NPP Superintendent, or Maintenance Superintendent must provide final approval, i c) Review of all proposed changes to appendix "A" of the technical specifications will be controlled under section 6.5.1A. The review process will be done in accordance with AI-43, and the proposed change must be approved by the Plant Manager. Additionally, the proposed technical specification change must receive NSRB approval before being sent to NRC. d) Review of all proposed changes or modifications to unit systems or equipment that affect nuclear safety will be controlled under section 6.5.1A. Additionally.. Quality Engineering and Control will review all workplans before initial approval. The Plant Manager, NPP Superintendent, or Maintenance Superintendent must provide final approval of the change. . i and j) Review of the Plant Physical Security Plan, the Site Radiological Emergency Plan, and implementing procedures is also covered by specification 6.8.1. Review and approval of changes to these procedures will be done in accordance with section 6.5.1A.

       .m)        Review of meeting minutes of the Radiological Assessment. Review Committee (RARC) is no longer needed under the new organization.

Technical.and' administrative review used to be split between two separate TVA organizations, one nonnuclear. PORC review was necessary to oversee the technical review done by RARC. The new organization has brought the technical expertise under the nuclear organization that PORC is under, thus deleting the need for PORC review. .PORC and RARC are equal-level committees subject to the same governing upper-tier nuclear procedures.. Reports and meeting minutes of both committees are reviewed under cognizance of NSRB. Specification 6.5.3.1 sets forth the functional requirements for SQN RARC.- The committee shall advise the Radiological Control Manager and the Plant Manager on all matters related to radiological assessments involving dose calculations and projections and environmental monitoring. The Plant Manager has the authority to request PORC review of any significant items. The following PORC responsibilitiet- will be revised in section 6.5.1.6 e) Item "e" will be relabeled as item "c." The proposed change more. accurately reflects the PORC function intended for review of technical specification violations. It is not practical for PORC to perform investigation of the violation. Investigation and preparation of reports covering evaluations and recommendations to i prevent recurrence are performed by the appropriate line i organization. PORC will provide oversight to ensure the evaluations i and recommendations are sufficient and complete. l f) Item "f" will be relabeled as item "d." The proposed change requires PORC review of all reportable events. Reportable event is defined by the technical specifications as those conditions specified by section 50.73 to 10 CFR Part 50. The change will be consistent with-Specification 6.6, " Reportable Event Action," and is consistent with the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specification (NUREC-0452).

The proposed change clearly states NSRB's responsibility to be cognizant of the identified review items. , a ! Specification 6.8.3 will delete temporary changes. Temporary approval of j procedure changes will. be permitted if the appropriate manager is not i available to allow for the normal review process. Temporary approval shall I consist of two qualified reviewers (per AI-43) of the plant management staff, i at least one of whom holds a Senior Reactor Operator License on the unit l affected. Upon temporary approval, the change may be implemented. Final l

!                  approval must be given within 14 days of the temporary approval.                                      -

item, collecting results from these reviews, and finally attending a formal , meeting to recommend a disposition. The method requested by this amendment. eliminates much of the unnecessary effort and at the same time provides a more consistent review and approval process. The process will focus responsibility

 ,     and accountability to the technical reviewers and provide a better review.

Cross-disciplinary review will also be improved from current methods because reviewers will be able to concentrate on their particular areas of expertise. The most important safety consideration is that this amendment permits PORC members to focus their attention on the safety significance of the issues essential to the safe operation of the plant, thereby improving PORC's effectiveness. This aspect is increasingly important because of the growing complexity of nuclear plant operation. For the reasons stated above, TVA has concluded that the proposed technical specification changes affecting PORC will significantly enhance management control and nuclear safety. Item C - Independent Safety Evaluation Group (ISEG) Description of Change The composition of ISEG for SQN has been changed from five dedicated full-time onsite engineers to three dedicated full-time onsite engineers supplemented by two full-time engineers located in corporate headquarters and shared by all TVA nuclear facilities. ISEG will now report to the Director of Nuclear Safety and Licensing Division. Reason for change This change will allow TVA to better utilize the expertise available for all its nucicar sites. This will also allow ISEG organization to better maintain cognizance of issues which are potentially generic to TVA's nuclear sites. Justification for Change This change will make all of TVA's nuclear sites consistent. By utilizing the three onsite full-time dedicated engir.cers supplomented by two offsite full-time engineers it will be possible to botter communicato information on issues of generic applicability and, at the same time, fulfill the function of ISEG fully with the available personnel. In case of an immediate need for offsite support this support will be easily accessible. The administrative move of ISEG to report to the Director of Nuclear Safety and Licensing Division is consistent with the intent of ISEG and the proposed alignment in standard technical specifications (revision 5) which proposes that ISEC report to a high level corporate official in a technically oriented position outside the management chain for power tiroduction. This change is also consistent with revision 2 of the Nuclear Performance plan.

                                                   -3 Item D - Radiolonical Assessment Review Committee (*ABC)                        ..

Description of Channe

 ,         The administrative change is to change the titles of the members of RARC to be consistent with the positions responsible for those functions under the new organization.

RARC provides reports to the Manager of Radiological Control (formerly the Chief Radiological' Hygiene Branch) and the Plant Manager. Any reference to the Chief, Radiological Hygiene Branch should now read Manager of Radiological Control, and any reference to the Radiological Hygiene Branch should read. , Radiological Control. ' Reason for Channe The positions identified in the current revision of technical specifications no longer exist because of the recent reorganization. This change is intended to identify equivalent positions and is consistent with revision 2 of the Nuclear Performance Plan. Justification for Channe The purpose of RARC is to advise the Manager of Radiological . Control and the Plant Manager on all matters related to radiological assessments involving dose calculations and projections and environmental monitoring. This change serves to identify the positions which serve to provide this expertise and provide the functions necessary to perform and document this role. The changes in 6.5.3.4, meeting frequency, as an alternative allows credit to be taken for any meeting requested and subsequently convened by the RARC Chairman or a plant representative to satisfy the requirement to meet at least every six months. The changes in 6.5.3.5, quorum, ' ensure that a plant - representative is in attendance at each meeting in order to satisfy plant

                                                                     ~

manager responsibilities. The changes in 6.5.3.6, Responsibilities, clarify our understanding of the defined responsibilities. Item E - Fire Brigade Members Description of Channe For unit 1 technical specifications, change 6.2.2.e to specify the shift supervisor as one of the three excluded personnel from membership in the fire brigade. R,eason for Chanze This change will make unit 1 technical specifications consistent with unit 2 technical specifications, j 1 t 6

( s s g Justification for Channe . The shift supervisor is responsible for the overall safe operation of the plant. For this reason it is imperative that he remain in the main control

  • room as much as possible without the distraction of intimate involvement in fire fighting efforts.
This change is more restrictive (i.e., more conservative) than currently configured in unit 1 technical specifications.

I Unit 2 technical specifications currently are configured this way. The fire , brigade is shared between the two units, as is the shift supervisor, and this rule, being the more restrictive of the two, is already being followed. This change will, for clarification purposes, bring unit 1 technical specifications into agreement with the comparable specification for unit 2. This change will also make SQN's technical specifications consistent with j revision 5 of the standard technical specifications.

QUALIFIED REVIEW GUIDELINES , 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that the review of SQN procedures are performed uniformly and that the review is sufficiently detailed to detect erroneous information or omissions of important . . information from both new and existing procedures. 2.0 -SCOPE These guidelines.are applicable to all Nuclear Safety related procedures and should be followed prior to implementation of a new procedure or during the periodic review of existing procedures. Additionally, these guidelines should be used during a major procedure change if the change is reviewed with the intent of using the change as a basis for satisfying the periodic review requirements for two year review. 3.0 PROCEDURE REVIEW OBJECTIVES 3.1 To verify that the procedure is free of typographical errors, easily understandable and meets current general guidelines for procedures as defined in Administrative Instruction (AI) 4.0,

                             " Preparation, Review, Approval and Use of Plant Instructions."

3.2 To verify that Technical Specifications, AIs and all other applicable requirements are identified and. incorporated. 3.3 .To verify that information contained within the procedure is accurate and complete and that the intent of the procedure is fulfilled. 3.4 To verify that procedures do not contain steps which could potentially lead to Technical Specification violations or expose personnel to hazardous conditions. 3.5 To ensure smooth interaction between plant groups / sections. 4 0710A/rtj

This 4 review function will continue to be performed by those individuals who- are technically competent to perform these review or advisory roles; therefore, the potential for the increase of a possibility of an accident I or' a new or different type accident from an inadequate review is-reduced rather than increased due to having the appropriate personnel designated-
