The staff previously approved Topical Report NEDC-32410P in its safety evaluation transmitted by letter dated September 5, 1995. The staff has reviewed NEDC-32410P, Supplement 1, and concludes that it is acceptable.
The staff safety evaluation approving NEDC-32410P, Supplement 1. is attached.
The conditions for implementing the Supplement I technical specifications amendments are as stated in the staff's September 5,1995 safety evaluation approving NEDC-32410P.
The staff does not intend to repeat its review of the matters found acceptable as described in NEDC-32410P, Supplement 1, when the topical report is referenced in plant specific license amendment applications, except to ensure that the material presented is applict.ble to the specific plant involved. The staff's acceptance applies only to the matters described in the application of MWN NEDC-32410P, and Supplement 1.
In accordance with procedures established in NUREG-0390, the staff requests that GE publish accepted versions of this topical report within three months of receipt of this letter. The accepted versions should include an "A" (designating accepted) following the report identification symbol, and the staff's safety evaluation report.
