SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION (GGNS), UNIT 1 (TAC NO. 69184)

By letter dated August 19, 1988, System Energy Resources, Inc., applied for changes to the GGNS Unit 1 Technical Specifications (TS) pursuant to Generic Letter 87-09 regarding TS Sections 3.0 and 4.0. The NRC staff is reviewing this application and finds that additional information is needed to complete our review.

The basis for accepting Specification 3.0.4 related amendments under Generic Letter 87-09 is predicated on two assumptions: (1) that the remedial measures prescribed by the TS action statements for which the exception will be granted provide a sufficient level of protection to permit operational condition changes and safe long-term operation consistent with the licensing basis described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report for GGNS, Unit 1; and (2) that it will be the exception when plant startup commences to have important safety features inoperable, irrespective of the exceptions granted in response to applications under Generic Letter 87-09.

We have reviewed your license amendment application and supplemental information.

In order for the NRC staff to conclude that the safety basis relative to the above stated assumptions is satisfied, we request that for each proposed TS exception to be granted under Generic Letter 87-09, you certify that remedial -

measures prescribed for the affected action statements are consistent with the Updated Safety Analysis Report and its supporting safety analyses. In addition, we request that you identify those administrative controls (e.g., maintenance program provisions, plant operating procedures, management directives, onsite safety reviews, etc.) that have been established to limit the use of the Specification 3.0.4 exceptions granted and certify their implementation. Your certification should address training necessary for ensuring that plant operators are made aware of, and are instructed to exercise, the controls promulgated in limiting the use of such exceptions.

Please advise, within fifteen days after receipt of this letter, when we may expect to receive your response. Should there be any questions concerning this request, please let me know.
