Subject:

Proposed amendment to CAVALIER (Facility License R-123, Docket 50-396) Technical Specification 6.P.3.(6)

Dear Mr. Adams:

The U.Va. Reactor Facility management requests NRC approval- of the following amendment to CAVALIER Technical Specifications, for which the proposed wording was approved by- our Reactor Safety Committee on July 2, 1990.

"(6) review reactor operation. Audits by the Reactor Safety Committee of selected operational records will be performed once each calendar year. These audits will consist of spot checks of reactor staff compliance with reactor operating procedures, Technical Specifications and license provisions."

Justification This amendment is justified because it states more clearly than the present TS the scope and objectives of Reactor Safety Committee (RSC) audits of reactor operations. The proposed wording removes possible ambiguity present in the current TS, which could lead to an erroneous interpretation that each ' and every record associated with reactor operations should be reviewed by the RSC during its audits. During audits the RSC spot-checks selected records for examples of proper reactor operation. Past audits hav%

City / b of yn pgformed by the RSC in accordance with the proposed wording.
