GTST AP1000-A31-5.2, Rev. 1 III. Comments on Relations Among TSTFs, RCOL Std. Dep., RCOL COL Items, and RCOL PTS Changes This section discusses the considered changes that are: (1) applicable to operating reactor designs, but not to the AP1000 design; (2) already incorporated in the GTS; or (3) superseded by another change.
GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1, removes the brackets from around the utility staff title [Plant Manager] in WOG STS 5.2.1.b, Rev. 1, and changes the title to lower case plant manager. This change is also included in WOG STS 5.2.1.b, Rev. 4. GTS 5.2.1.b, Rev. 19, does not include this change. Other changes made by TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1, in WOG STS Section 5.2, Rev. 1, are not discussed in this GTST because they have already been implemented in GTS Section 5.2, Rev.
19.
VEGP COL application Rev. 3 completed COL Item 5.2.1.a by replacing the bracketed document title [FSAR/QA Plan] with FSAR. Since this change is VEGP-specific, it is not included in TSTF-65-A, GTS 5.2.1.a, or WOG STS 5.2.1.a, Rev. 4. Therefore, AP1000 STS 5.2.1.a, Rev. 0, will also not include this change.
VEGP COL application Rev. 3 completed COL Item 5.2.1.b by replacing the bracketed position title [Plant Manager] with lower case plant manager; this is a change also made by TSTF A, Rev. 1, to WOG STS 5.2.1.b. However, APOG recommends retaining the brackets associated with the [Plant Manager] title.
GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff TSTF-511-A, Rev. 0, deletes item 5.2.2.d from WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 3. Subsequent items are renumbered as shown in WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4. The deleted item deals with the administrative procedures for the working hours of personnel who perform safety related functions. These changes are not included in GTS 5.2.2, Rev. 19.
VEGP COL application Rev. 3 completed COL Item 5.2.2 by not including item 5.2.2.d and renumbering the subsequent items in PTS 5.2.2, Rev. 0.
VEGP COL application Rev. 3 also completed COL Item 5.2.2 by not including the square brackets around the information in GTS 5.2.2, items a, b, c, d, e, and f. This change is consistent with WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4.
These two COL Items also deleted the bracketed Reviewers Note information at the beginning of section 5.2.2 of the AP1000 GTS Rev. 19.

GTST AP1000-A31-5.2, Rev. 1 VI. Traveler Information Description of TSTF changes:
GTS Subsection 5.2.1, Onsite and Offsite Organizations TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1, and COL Item 5.2.1.b, removed the brackets from around the utility staff title [Plant Manager] in WOG STS 5.2.1.b, Rev. 1, and VEGP PTS, respectively. The title Plant Manager was also changed to lower case plant manager. However, based on APOG recommendation, the GTS presentation [Plant Manager] is retained in STS Rev. 0.
COL Item 5.2.1.a was completed by replacing the bracketed document title [FSAR/QA Plan]
with FSAR. This change is not included in TSTF-65-A, GTS 5.2.1.a, or WOG STS 5.2.1.a, Rev. 4. Therefore, AP1000 STS 5.2.1.a, Rev. 0, will not include this change.
GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff TSTF-511-A, Rev. 0, deletes item 5.2.2.d from WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 3. Subsequent items are renumbered as shown in WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4. The deleted item deals with the administrative procedures for the working hours of personnel who perform safety related functions. Since this change is not included in GTS 5.2.2, but was included in VEGP PTS 5.2.2, it will be implemented by this GTST in AP1000 STS 5.2.2, Rev. 0.
VEGP COL application Rev. 3 also completed COL Item 5.2.2 by not including the square brackets around the information in GTS 5.2.2, items a, b, c, d, e, and f. This change is consistent with WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4.
VEGP COL Item 5.2.2 also deleted the bracketed Reviewers Note information at the beginning of Subsection 5.2.2 of the AP1000 GTS Rev. 19, because WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4 does not include it.
Rationale for TSTF changes:
GTS Subsection 5.2.1, Onsite and Offsite Organizations According to TSTF-65-A, Rev.1, the change of [Plant Manager] to plant manager in WOG STS 5.2.1.b, Rev. 1 allows the use of generic personnel titles as provided by ANSI/ANS 3.1 in lieu of plant specific personnel titles. This change does not eliminate any of the qualifications, responsibilities, or requirements for the position. In addition, a bracketed Reviewers Note is placed at the beginning of STS Chapter 5.0, before Section 5.1, detailing the use of the generic titles and title changes. However, since this is a site-specific title, APOG recommended retaining [Plant Manager in AP1000 STS 5.2.1.b, and omitting the Reviewers Note, which is not a part of the GTS or RCOL PTS.

GTST AP1000-A31-5.2, Rev. 1 GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff TSTF-511-A, Rev. 0 deleted GTS 5.2.2.d. According to this TSTF, Removal of the plant-specific Technical Specification requirements will be performed concurrently with the implementation of the 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, requirements. Work hour controls and fatigue management requirements have been incorporated into NRCs regulations; therefore, it is unnecessary to have work hour control requirements in the Technical Specifications. Also this TSTF recommends that the model application for this Traveler contain a commitment for licensees to comply with 10 CFR Part 26 concurrent with the implementation of the Technical Specification change.
Based on TSTF-511-A, Rev. 0, GTS 5.2.2.d is eliminated by this GTST and will not be included in AP1000 STS 5.2.2, Rev. 0.
Description of changes in RCOL Std. Dep., RCOL COL Item(s), and RCOL PTS Changes:
GTS Subsection 5.2.1, Onsite and Offsite Organizations VEGP COL application Rev. 3 completed COL Item 5.2.1.a by changing the bracketed document title [FSAR/QA Plan] to FSAR. However, staff recommends retaining the GTS presentation of [FSAR/QA Plan] because this is a site specific document title.
VEGP COL application Rev. 3 completed COL Item 5.2.1.b by changing the bracketed title from
[Plant Manager] to lower case un-bracketed title plant manager. As discussed before, this change is consistent with TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1 and WOG STS 5.2.1.b, Rev. 4. However, APOG recommends retaining the brackets associated with the [Plant Manager] title.
GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff VEGP COL application Rev. 3 completed COL Item 5.2.2 by adopting the changes also made by TSTF-65-A, by deleting item 5.2.2.d from the PTS and by renumbering the subsequent items e and f as d and e.
COL Item 5.2.2 was also completed by deleting the brackets from around GTS Subsection 5.2.2. This deletion is consistent with the text in WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4.
These two COL Items also delete the bracketed Reviewers Note information at the beginning of GTS 5.2.2.
Rationale for changes in RCOL Std. Dep., RCOL COL Item(s), and RCOL PTS Changes:
GTS Subsection 5.2.1, Onsite and Offsite Organizations The VEGP COL applications justification for replacing [FSAR/QA Plan] with FSAR to complete COL item 5.2.1.a is that the requirement for the staff and their titles will be documented in the FSAR. However, since this is site-specific information, AP1000 STS 5.2.1.a, Rev. 0, will retain the bracketed document title, consistent with WOG STS 5.2.1.a.

GTST AP1000-A31-5.2, Rev. 1 GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff The VEGP COL applications justification for deleting item 5.2.2.d from GTS 5.2.2 and renumbering the subsequent items, to complete COL item 5.2.2, is that the removal of GTS 5.2.2.d is consistent with TSTF-511 identified by NRC as an appropriate change to implement the revisions to Part 26.
The VEGP COL applications deletion of the brackets from around GTS Subsection 5.2.2 is acceptable because the generic TS bracketed information is applicable to AP1000 and is consistent with WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4. Therefore, AP1000 STS 5.2.2, Rev. 0 omits the brackets.
Deleting the bracketed Reviewers Note information at the beginning of GTS Subsection 5.2.2 is consistent with WOG STS 5.2.2, Rev. 4. The VEGP COL applications justification for deleting the Reviewers Note is that this note, as implemented by GTS 5.2.2, is not intended to be a part of plant-specific technical specifications.
Description of additional changes proposed by NRC staff/preparer of GTST:
APOG Recommended Changes to Improve Specification 5.2 Retain the brackets around the position title Plant Manager in Section 5.2.1.b. (APOG Comment)
Remove the Reviewer's Note added under section 5.2.2.a. (APOG Comment)
Rationale for additional changes proposed by NRC staff/preparer of GTST:
APOG recommended retaining the brackets associated with the [Plant Manager] title (GTS COL Item 5.2.1.b and TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1 removed the brackets). APOG commented that this GTS COL item should be retained in the AP1000 STS because it is a site specific title.
APOG recommended the removal of the Reviewer's Note proposed for Specification 5.2.2.a (even though it exists in WOG STS 5.2.2.a, Rev. 4). The note states, Two unit sites with both units shutdown or defueled require a total of three non-licensed operators for the two units.
APOG commented that the added Reviewer's Note is not associated with any COL Item or bracketed options. Both VEGP Units 3 and 4 and V.C. Summer Units 2 and 3 COL plant-specific TS were issued with no Reviewer's Note or change to the content of GTS 5.2.2.a.
APOG, therefore, concluded that the note is not applicable to AP1000 STS. Furthermore, APOG commented that adding the Reviewer's Note using the argument of consistency with WOG STS Rev. 4 is not an appropriate basis for adding this Reviewer's Note.

GTST AP1000-A31-5.2, Rev. 1 VII. GTST Safety Evaluation Technical Analysis:
GTS Subsection 5.2.1, Onsite and Offsite Organizations TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1, changed the bracketed staff title in WOG STS 5.2.1.b to improve the STS.
The removal of the brackets around the staff title in STS 5.2.1.b allows the use of generic personnel titles, such as plant manager as provided by ANSI/ANS 3.1. However, APOG recommended retaining the brackets associated with the [Plant Manager] title, since this title is site specific. Maintaining the GTS provision in AP1000 STS 5.2.1.b is acceptable.
GTS Subsection 5.2.2, Unit Staff According to TSTF-511-A, Rev. 0, the removal of item 5.2.2.d, which deals with the unit staff working hours, from the WOG STS will be performed concurrently with the implementation of the 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I, requirements. Work hour controls and fatigue management requirements have been incorporated into NRCs regulations; therefore, it is unnecessary to have work hour control requirements in the Technical Specifications. Also, this TSTF recommends that the model application for this Traveler contain a commitment for licensees to comply with 10 CFR Part 26 concurrent with the implementation of the Technical Specification change. By referencing this TSTF in the VEGP Units 3 and 4 COL applications information to satisfy COL Item 5.2.2, the VEGP licensee adopted this recommendation. Therefore, omitting item 5.2.2.d from AP1000 STS 5.5.2, Rev. 0, is acceptable.
Omitting the Reviewers Note, which states Two unit sites with both units shutdown or defueled require a total of three non-licensed operators for the two units. from STS Specification 5.2.2.a, even though it is included in WOG STS 5.2.2.a, Rev. 4, is acceptable because it is consistent with GTS 5.5.2.a and the licensing basis for VEGP Units 3 and 4. Proposed AP1000 STS 5.2.2.a would only require two non-licensed operators when both units are shutdown (MODES 5 and 6), one non-licensed operator when one unit is shutdown and one unit is defueled, and no non-licensed operators when both units are defueled. Maintaining the GTS provision in AP1000 STS 5.2.2.a is acceptable.
Having found that this GTSTs proposed changes to the GTS are acceptable, the NRC staff concludes that AP1000 STS Section 5.2 is an acceptable model Specification for the AP1000 standard reactor design.

Availability for public review and comment on Revision 0 of this traveler approved by NRC staff on 5/22/2014.
APOG Comments (Ref. 7) and Resolutions:
1 (Internal #506) 5.2.1, APOG indicates that the GTST describes the change to the COL Item regarding the position title [Plant Manager], which was completed in the VEGP PTS, Rev. 0, by removing the brackets and changing the title to lower case; this is the same as the change made by TSTF-65-A, Rev. 1. However, as APOG indicates this COL Item should not be removed in the AP1000 STS NUREG with disposition as done in VEGP COL. This issue is resolved by retaining the brackets around the position title Plant Manager.
2 (Internal #507) 5.2.2, Rev. 0 of this GTST proposed adding a Reviewer's Note under Section 5.2.2.a, as it exists in WOG STS Rev. 4. The NRC staff notes that the requirement of this Note has been included in NUREG-1431 beginning with Rev. 0 (1992) as Footnote (e) to Table 5.2.2-1, Minimum Shift Crew Composition [Two Units With Two Control Rooms] (Numbers for Each Unit) for the auxilliary operator (AO), which is equivalent to non-licensed operator; with one unit in Mode 5 or 6, other unit in Mode 5 or 6 or defueled.
The AP1000 design review record is unclear why AP1000 GTS 5.2.2.a does not include the Reviewers Note, or why the WOG STS calls it a Reviewers Note and not just a Note.
APOG recommended the removal of this Reviewer's Note commenting that it is not associated with any GTS COL Item or bracketed options. Both VEGP Units 3 and 4 and V.C. Summer Units 2 and 3 COL plant-specific TS were issued without the Reviewer's Note or change to the content of GTS 5.2.2.a. APOG concluded, therefore, that the note is applicable to neither VEGP Units 3 and 4, nor any other AP1000 facility. Furthermore, APOG commented that adding the Reviewer's Note using the argument of consistency with WOG STS Rev. 4 is not an appropriate basis for adding the Reviewer's Note.
Accordingly, this issue is resolved by omitting the Reviewer's Note as recommended.
3 (Internal #508) 5.2.2.a, APOG recommends inserting the missing introductory sentence for section 5.2.2, The unit staff organization shall include the following: This error was inadvertent; therefore, it is resolved by making the recommended change.
Furthermore, APOG and SPSB agreed to revisit how the AP1000 STS should present COL information, bracketed TSTF provisions, and any associated reviewers notes following completion of STS Rev. 0.
