ENCLOSURE 2 JUSTIFICATION FOR PROPO3ED CHANGE IN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR UNITS 1 AND 2 SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT (TVA SQN TS 64)
This proposed change deletes all the references to three-loop power operations. When the technical specifications were originally issued to TVA, NRC left in place all the references to three-loop operation. TVA has no plans to pursue approval of the three-loop operation at Sequoyah.
Additionally, this change is being requested to eliminate the possibility of these technical specification requirements being inappropriately applied, resulting in an NRC violation. This change is administrative in nature and as documented in the attached significant hazards consideration detenmination, no significant hazards considerations are involved.
i
_.a
6.
SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS
- 1. Is the probability of an occurrence or the consequences of an accident previously evaluated in the safety analysis report significantly-
. increased?
No. This change is administrative only and removes unused and unnecessary information from the technical specifications.
- 2. Is the possibility for an accident of a new or different type than evaluated previously in the safety analysis report created?
No. See number 1 above.
- 3. Is the margin of safety significantly reduced?
No. See number 1 above.
.
