ThepurposeofthisLARistocompleteimplementationofGenericLetter96-03forGinnaStationandtorespondtotheJuly1,1997timelimitontheexistingPTLR.GenericLetter96-03requiresthatlicenseesreferencetheP/TandLTOPmethodologiesinthetechnicalspecificationsandprovideaproposedPTLRusingthemethodologyforNRCreview.Sections1,2,and4ofWCAP-14040-NP-A(Ref.4)havebeengenericallyapprovedforusebytheNRCforP/TlimitsandisbeingproposedastheP/Tlimitmethodology.ThecurrentLTOPmethodologyforGinnaStation(Ref.1)replacedthatprovidedinSection3ofWCAP-14040duetoRG&EspecificissuesandwaspreviouslyreviewedbytheNRCandfoundtobeacceptable(Ref.5).However,theLTOPenabletemperaturemethodologyisbeingrevisedtoclarifythespecificRCStemperatureaccuracyrequirementsandallowtheuseofASMEXICodeCaseN-514.AredlinedversionofthemethodologyshowingallchangesfromthepreviousNRCapprovedversionisprovidedinAttachmentVwhileafinalversionisprovidedinAttachmentVItothisLAR.Therefore,thisLARprovidesaproposedPTLR(andsupportingdocumentationasprovidedinWCAP-14684)andincludesareferencetoWCAP-14040-NP-AandthisLARintheAdministrativeControlsasthebasisforthemethodology.Itshouldbenotedthat'venthoughthetechnicalspecificationsdonotrequirereactorvesselmaterialinformationtobelocatedwithinthePTLR,thisinformationisprovidedconsistentwithGenericLetter96-03.ThisincludesarevisedRT~valuebasedontheattachedWCAP-14684.TherevisedRT~valuealsoincludeschangesmadeasaresultofadditionalsurveillancecapsulechemistryanalyses.C.JUSTIFICATIONOFCHANGESThissectionprovidesthejustificationforallchangesdescribedinSectionAaboveandshowninAttachmentII.Thejustificationsareorganizedbasedonwhetherthechangeis:morerestrictive(M),lessrestrictive(L),administrative(A),ortherequirementisrelocated(R).Thejustificationslistedbelowarealsoreferencedinthetechnicalspecification(s)whichareaffected(seeAttachmentII).C.1~dAdministrativeControlsSection5.6.6.cisrevisedtoreplacereferencetotheMay23,1996submittalwithanewreferencethatapprovesthefirstuseofthePTLRmethodology.Inaddition,theAdminstrativeControlscontentisrevisedconsistentwithGL96-03andthereferencesforPTLRmethodologywithrespecttoRCSP/Tlimitsisupdated.ThesechangesareadministrativeinnaturesincetheRCSP/TlimitswerepreviouslyrelocatedfromtechnicalspecificationstothePTLR.TheonlychangebeingrequestedistoupdatethePTLRconsistentwithgenericallyapprovedWCAP-14040-NP-AusedintheAdministrativeControlssection.
