The proposed amendment would revise Technical Specification 3.5.4, to allow the non-seismically qualified piping of the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) purification system to be connected to theRefueling Water Storage Tanks (RWST) seismic piping by manual operation of a RWSTseismically qualified boundary valve under administrative controls for a limited period of time.
