The agenda (Enclosure 3) consisted of discussions of the seven active RITSTF initiatives. The RITSTF provided a summary of the status of the initiatives (Enclosure 4), updated to reflect the meetings progress. Following is a brief description of the status of the initiatives in the order in which they were discussed. | |||
While each pilot may not address the proposed methodology completely, the RITSTF will ensure the various approaches will prove the entire proposed methodology. The RITSTF will ensure a single coordinated methodology will emerge from and be supported by the individual pilots.

The RITSTF did not include in TSTF-359, Revision 6, applicability to high risk systems (i.e., systems not on the tables), in response to NRC comments. In preparing the TSTF-359 SER the staff noted that the LCO 3.0.4 and SR 3.0.4 wording was not adequate. A letter describing the concern was sent on April 26, 2002, and in response to the letter TSTF-359, Revision 7 will be prepared and submitted by the RITSTF during the week of May 27, 2002.

After NRC review and acceptance of the Guidance Document, the RITSTF will prepare and submit TSTF-425. | |||
Initiative 4b, Risk Informed AOTs, use of a configuration risk management program (CRMP): | |||
The NEI RITSTF will coordinate comprehensive and multiple pilots, including CEOG, STP and Hope creek pilots. The RITSTF will seek to obtain a pilot plant that has converted to the STS. | |||

The agenda (Enclosure 3) consisted of discussions of the seven active RITSTF initiatives. The RITSTF provided a summary of the status of the initiatives (Enclosure 4), updated to reflect the meetings progress. Following is a brief description of the status of the initiatives in the order in which they were discussed.
Initiative 3, TSTF-359, Modification of mode restraint requirements of LCO 3.0.4: The RITSTF submitted TSTF 359, Revision 6, along with a revised analyses for the new systems tables for BWOG and WOG (the CE and BWR analyses were still applicable), on February 22, 2002, addressing the staff comments to the draft TSTF-359, Revision 6.
