ENCLOSURE 2 PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION Commitment Change Report January 2015

- December 2015

Page 1 of 2 COMMITMENT CHANGE 15

-C003 The commitment change related to NRC Order EA 007 was finalized December 21, 2015.

Commitment Number:

RCTSAI 2820524 Source Document(s):

APS Letter 102

-05317 response to NRC Order EA-05-007 Existing Commitment

Description:

NRC Order EA 007 (dated July 19, 2005) modifies PV's license for the transportation of radioactive material quantities of concern (RAMQC) and requires implementation of the order 90 days prior to PV's first RAMQC shipment. To ensure compliance with the order, a note will be added referencing NCR Order EA 007 in station procedure 76RP

-0RW07 "Shipping Radioactive Material" as well as the list of isotopes/limits identified in the order

. Revised Commitment

Description:

This RCTSAI can be changed from an Active Y commitment to Active N closed as the NRC issued a rescission of the order

. Justification of Change:

The NRC rescission of order EA 007, "Order Imposing Additional Security Measures" dated 6/3/2015 had been evaluated by Security and Program Standards under evaluation 15

-05745-002. This evaluation concluded the commitment to the rescinded Order was no longer necessary due to the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 37.

Procedures have been adjusted accordingly.

Page 2 of 2 COMMITMENT CHANGE 15-C005 The commitment change related to SIT level monitoring was finalized December 21, 2015.

Commitment Number:

RCTSAI 3235215 Source Document(s):

Generic Letter 2008

-01 response letter 102

-05910-JHH/DLK, 10/14/2008

Existing Commitment

Description:

Procedure 40DP

-9OP06 will be revised to provide guidance on the amount of SIT level change that should be considered abnormal and require entry into the CAP to assess the cause of the leak and the potential for void formation when the threshold is exceeded. This corrective action is scheduled to be completed by January 15, 2009.

Revised Commitment

Description:

Procedures will provide guidance on the amount of SIT level change that should be considered abnormal and require entry into the CAP to assess the cause of the leak and the potential for void formation when the threshold is exceeded

. Justification of Change:

Originally the RCTSAI was to credit the Operations Repetitive Task Program, 40DP-9OP06, with the monitoring of the SIT levels by the STAs on shift. Operations, Engineering, Operations Standards, and Regulatory Affairs discussed the feasibility of transferring the guidance to the trending performed by the system engineers. This change would remove redundancy of tracking, trending and documenting while improving Operational Focus in the control room.
