The existing TS 3.5.2.5.b.1 does not appear to contain an erroneous period.Please clarify or correct the submittal. | |||
TMI Unit 1 Response Three Mile Island, Unit 1 (TMI, Unit 1)withdraws the request to remove the erroneous period from Technical Specification (TS)3.5.2.5.b.1. | |||
Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of TS page 3-35 showing this request withdrawn. | |||
Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of TS page 3-35.NRC Question 2 The submitted markup and"clean copy" page versions (Attachments 2 and 3, respectively) for TS page 4-5 do not appear to reflect the current TS page 4-5.Specifically, they do not appear to reflect changes authorized by TMI-1 TS Amendment 273, dated May 27, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No.ML092740791), and letters dated March 4,2011 (ADAMS Accession No.ML 110550707), and October 27,2011 (ADAMS Accession No.ML 112980458). | |||
In particular, item numbers 23 and 24 on page 4-5 appear to be in error.A similar problem affects pages 1-3 and 3-35.Please submit corrected markup and"clean copy" versions of these pages, as appropriate. | |||
TMI Unit 1 Response Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of TS pages 4-5, 1-3, and 3-35 incorporating TS Amendment 273 and letters dated March 4, 2011, and October 27, 2011 (as applicable). | |||
Attachment 3 provides revised"clean copies" of TS pages 4-5, 1-3, and 3-35.NRC Question 3 According to the application, Attachment 1, page 4 of 6, TS Figure 5-1 has been updated for clarity and to revise the title box to reflect Exelon, the current licensee.TS Figure 5-1 is referenced by TS 5.1.1 (note that TS 5.1.1 refers to Figure 5.1)and describes it as an"extended plot plan," consistent with the List of Figures on TS page vii.TS 5.1.1 also states that Figure 5.1 (5-1)shows the TMI Exclusion Area.The extended plot plan title and the exclusion area depiction have been removed from the revised Figure 5-1, making TS 5.1.1 confusing and incorrect. | |||
In addition, TS 5.1.1 states that Figure 5.1 (5-1)shows the immediate surroundings, however the revised Figure 5-1 has eliminated some of the surrounding features such as the depiction of the offsite transmission lines.Please correct the revised Figure 5-1 consistent with the existing TS 5.1.1, and/or justify any desired changes to Figure 5-1, the List of Figures, and/or TS 5.1.1.TMI Unit 1 Response TMI, Unit 1 withdraws the request to update TS Figure 5-1 for clarity.Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of Figure 5-1 which only revises the title box to reflect Exelon, the current licensee.Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of Figure 5-1. | |||
Response to RAI Related to Proposed Administrative Changes to the TS Attachment 1 January 20, 2012 Page 2 of 2 NRC Question 4 TS 5.1.1 describes Figure 5-2 as depicting the site topography for a radius of 5 miles from the station.The revised Figure 5-2 appears to have deleted the topographical lines.Therefore, please submit a revised Figure 5-2 that includes topographical information or justify, and submit, a revised TS 5.1.1.TMI Unit 1 Response TMI, Unit 1 withdraws the request to update TS Figure 5-2 for clarity.Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of Figure 5-2 which only revises the title box to reflect Exelon, the current licensee.Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of Figure 5-2.NRC Observations The NRC staff also has several observations regarding the submittal and the existing TSs.As described above, the NRC staff notes that TS 5.1.1 refers to Figure 5-1 as Figure 5.1.Exelon should consider clarifying this discrepancy. | |||
In addition, the NRC staff notes that TS 5.1.1 refers to a"weather tower" depicted on Figure 5-3.Both the existing and revised Figure 5-3 depictions show a"weather station." Exelon should consider making this terminology consistent. | |||
Finally, the existing TS 5.1.1 refers to AmerGen Energy Company, LLC in the description of Figure 5.1 (5-1).Exelon should evaluate whether this is the correct terminology. | |||
TMI Unit 1 Response In accordance with the NRC observations noted above, TMI, Unit 1 requests the following additional proposed changes to the TMI, Unit 1 TS:*TS 5.1.1 on page 5-1 was revised to state"Figure 5-1" consistent with the List of Figures on TS page vii and Figure 5-1.*TS 5.1.1 on page 5-1 was revised to state"weather station" consistent with Figure 5-3.*TS 5.1.1 on page 5-1 was revised to refer to"Exelon" in the description of Figure 5-1, consistent with response to NRC Question 3 above and Amendment 267.Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of TS page 5-1.Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of TS page 5-1. | |||

In particular, item numbers 23 and 24 on page 4-5 appear to be in error.A similar problem affects pages 1-3 and 3-35.Please submit corrected markup and"clean copy" versions of these pages, as appropriate.
TMI Unit 1 Response Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of TS pages 4-5, 1-3, and 3-35 incorporating TS Amendment 273 and letters dated March 4, 2011, and October 27, 2011 (as applicable).
Attachment 3 provides revised"clean copies" of TS pages 4-5, 1-3, and 3-35.NRC Question 3 According to the application, Attachment 1, page 4 of 6, TS Figure 5-1 has been updated for clarity and to revise the title box to reflect Exelon, the current licensee.TS Figure 5-1 is referenced by TS 5.1.1 (note that TS 5.1.1 refers to Figure 5.1)and describes it as an"extended plot plan," consistent with the List of Figures on TS page vii.TS 5.1.1 also states that Figure 5.1 (5-1)shows the TMI Exclusion Area.The extended plot plan title and the exclusion area depiction have been removed from the revised Figure 5-1, making TS 5.1.1 confusing and incorrect.
In addition, TS 5.1.1 states that Figure 5.1 (5-1)shows the immediate surroundings, however the revised Figure 5-1 has eliminated some of the surrounding features such as the depiction of the offsite transmission lines.Please correct the revised Figure 5-1 consistent with the existing TS 5.1.1, and/or justify any desired changes to Figure 5-1, the List of Figures, and/or TS 5.1.1.TMI Unit 1 Response TMI, Unit 1 withdraws the request to update TS Figure 5-1 for clarity.Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of Figure 5-1 which only revises the title box to reflect Exelon, the current licensee.Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of Figure 5-1.
Response to RAI Related to Proposed Administrative Changes to the TS Attachment 1 January 20, 2012 Page 2 of 2 NRC Question 4 TS 5.1.1 describes Figure 5-2 as depicting the site topography for a radius of 5 miles from the station.The revised Figure 5-2 appears to have deleted the topographical lines.Therefore, please submit a revised Figure 5-2 that includes topographical information or justify, and submit, a revised TS 5.1.1.TMI Unit 1 Response TMI, Unit 1 withdraws the request to update TS Figure 5-2 for clarity.Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of Figure 5-2 which only revises the title box to reflect Exelon, the current licensee.Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of Figure 5-2.NRC Observations The NRC staff also has several observations regarding the submittal and the existing TSs.As described above, the NRC staff notes that TS 5.1.1 refers to Figure 5-1 as Figure 5.1.Exelon should consider clarifying this discrepancy.
In addition, the NRC staff notes that TS 5.1.1 refers to a"weather tower" depicted on Figure 5-3.Both the existing and revised Figure 5-3 depictions show a"weather station." Exelon should consider making this terminology consistent.
Finally, the existing TS 5.1.1 refers to AmerGen Energy Company, LLC in the description of Figure 5.1 (5-1).Exelon should evaluate whether this is the correct terminology.
TMI Unit 1 Response In accordance with the NRC observations noted above, TMI, Unit 1 requests the following additional proposed changes to the TMI, Unit 1 TS:*TS 5.1.1 on page 5-1 was revised to state"Figure 5-1" consistent with the List of Figures on TS page vii and Figure 5-1.*TS 5.1.1 on page 5-1 was revised to state"weather station" consistent with Figure 5-3.*TS 5.1.1 on page 5-1 was revised to refer to"Exelon" in the description of Figure 5-1, consistent with response to NRC Question 3 above and Amendment 267.Attachment 2 contains a corrected proposed mark-up of TS page 5-1.Attachment 3 provides a revised"clean copy" of TS page 5-1.
