e i Descri.otion Of Chance And Comnarison To Current Technical Soecification Current Technical Snecification 3/4.8.D Section 3/4.8, paragraph D on page 3/4.8-3 of the current Technical Specifications i (Amendment 38), in part, states "The maximum amount of radioactivity in liquid storage in all !
Dresden Station's above grade tanks shall not exceed 90 curies. If these conditions cannot be {
met the stored liquid shall be recycled within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to below grade tanks." and "A sample l 1
from each of the above grade liquid waste tanks shall be taken, analyzed, and recorded every i 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. If no additions to a tank have been made since the last sample, the tank need not be i sampled until the next addition."
l l .
In the amendment request of reference (a), it was proposed to move and retitle the Technical !
Specification 3/4.8.J " Liquid Radwaste Storage", and modify the Technical Specification to
, the Dresden Units 2/3 Technical Specification Upgrade format. The proposed requirements ,
l and surveillances were to remain the same as the current Technical Specification. i
. This update revises Section 3/4,8.J of the proposed Technical Specification to read as follows: ;
"With the quantity of radioactive material in the tanks exceeding the above limit, immediately suspend all additions of radioactive material to the tanks and within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> reduce the tank contents to within the limit by recycling the stored liquid to below grade tanks." and "A sample from each of the above grade liquid waste tanks shall be taken, analyzed, and recorded every 7 days. If no additions to a tank have been made since the last sample, the tank need not be sampled until the next addition." l 1
l Reason For Change l
The change revises the action time limit for recycling tank contents from "24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />" to "48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />".
The change revises the surveillance frequency from "72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />" to "7 days". l These changes make the proposed Technical Specification 3/4.8.J action time limit and surveillance frequency the same as the Dresden Unit 2/3 Technical Specification 3/4.8.J.

, Current Technical Snecification 6.1. A.3 Section 6.1, paragraph A.3 on page 6-1 of the current Technical Specifications (Amendment 38), states " Chief Nuclear Officer (CNO) shall have corporate responsibility for overall plant nuclear safety and shall take any measures needed to ensure acceptable performance of the staff in operating, maintaining, and providing technical support to the plant to ensure nuclear safety."
In the amendment request of reference (a), the quoted paragraph was moved intact to section 6.2. A.3.
In the amendment request of reference (b) it states "The Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategic Services shall have corporate responsibility for the safe storage ofirradiated fuel and shall take any measures needed to ensure acceptable performance of the staff in operating, maintaining and providing technical support to the structures and systems necessary to ensure safe storage ofirradiated fuel".
This update revises Section 6.2.A.3 of the proposed Technical Specification to read as follows:
"A Corporate Vice President shall have corporate responsibility for the safe storage of irradiated fuel and shall take any measures needed to ensure acceptable performance of the .
staff in operating, maintaining, and providing technical support to the plant to ensure the safe storage of iiradiated fuel."
In the amendment request of reference (b), a substantive change was made to substitute safe storage of irradiated fuel for overall plant nuclear safety. This change has been retained in the current request. Given the decommissioning status of Dresden Unit 1 (fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel), safe storage of irradiated fuel is the principal safety concern. This change is consistent with changes made to similar technical specifications approved for the permanently shutdown Trojan facility.
In the amendment request of reference (b), " technical support to the plant" was changed to
" technical support to the structures and systems necessary." This change has not been retained.
In the amendment request of reference (b), a substantive change was made to shift the overall safety responsibility at the corporate level from the Chief Nuclear Officer to another officer of the corporation, the Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategic Services. A substantive change has been made to this paragraph. The change is the shift in overall safety responsibility at the corporate level from the Chief Nuclear Officer to another officer of the ,
corporation, a Corporate Vice President. I i

l i , The implementation of Comed's Quality Assurance Program on Dresden Unit 1 activities will j remain the same, as well as oversight of the program implementation.

!- Reason For Change 3 l l The change replacing " technical support to the plant" with " technical support to the structures and systems necessary" proposed in the amendment request of reference (b) is not being made.
I This change was not consistent with the wording of the current Dresden Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.1,3 and Dresden Unit 2/3 Technical Specification 6.2.A.3. This change is not i
! substantive and does not have an affect on the content of the proposed Technical Specification. )
i
- 1 1
The transition of responsibility is being made for three reasons.' First, it will enable the Chief :
l Nuclear Officer to further focus on improving the performance of Comed's twelve operating l . units. Second, Comed recognizes the need to develop competencies for its long term i decommissioning responsibilities associated with nuclear generation. A Corporate Vice l
[ President will devote separate management attention at the executive level to develop this i j important function, beginning with responsibility for safe storage of irradiated fuel at the permanently shutdown Dresden Unit 1 facility. Third, the terminology Corporate Vice President allows for latitude in making future changes to administrative titles.
l Current Technical Snecification 6.1. A.4 Section 6.1, paragraph A.4 on page 6-1 of the current Technical Specifications (Amendment
- 38) states, "The individuals who train the operating staff and those who carry out health j physics and quality assurance functions may report to the appropriate onsite manager; however, they shall have sufficient organizational freedom to ensure their independence from operating pressures."
In the amendment request of reference (a), it was proposed to move this Technical i Specification intact to Technical Specification 6.2.A.4 to be consistent with the Technical Specification Upgrade Program. However, in the transition ." operating staff" was inadvertently changed to " staff". Attachment 2 retains the terminology " operating staff" in accordance with the amendment request of reference (a).
Reason For Change This change is being made in accordance with the amendment request of reference (a).

, Current Technical Snecification 6.1.C In Section 6.1, paragraph C on page 6-1 of the current Technical Specifications (Amendment l
j 38) it states, in part "The Operations Manager or Shift Operations Supervisor, Shift Managers, ;
i Unit Supervisors, and Field Supervisors shall have a Senior Operating License."
In the amendment request of reference (a), it was proposed , in part, to replace Technical l
, Specification 6.1.C with Technical Specification 6.2.B.6 which states "The Unit 2/3 l l Operations Manager or Unit 2/3 Shift Operations Supervisor shall hold an active Unit 2/3 Senior Reactor Operator License". This change was made to model the Unit 2/3 Technical !
l Specification Upgrade Program and ensure that a person who is currently trained on Unit 1 in !
l the Licensed Operator Retraining Program is in charge of Control Room personnel monitoring {
i Unit I activities.
l This update revises Section 6.2.B.6 of the proposed Techn! cal Specificatiu to read as follows:
"The Unit 2/3 Operations Manager or Unit 2/3 Shift Operations Supervisoc shall hold a Unit 2/3 Senior Reactor Operator License." ,
r This change removes a substantive change proposed in the amendment request of reference (a). l l The terminology " active Senior Reactor Operators License" is changed to " Senior Reactor ;
Operators License . ;
' Reason For Change i
This change makes proposed Technical Specification 6.2.B.6 consistent with the Dresden Unit 2/3 Technical Specification 6.2.B.6 and previous Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.1.C. This change eliminates a requirement that was inadvertently added in the amendment request of reference (a).
Current Technical Specification 6.2. A In Section 6.2, paragraph A on page 6-13 and 6-14 of the current Technical Specifications (Amendment 38) controls for plant operating procedures are specified.
In the amendment request of reference (a), Technical Specification 6.8.A.1 was proposed which states "The procedures applicable to the safe storage of irradiated fuel recommended in Appendix A, of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978;".

. This update revises Section 6.8.A.1 and adds Section 6.8.A.8 of the proposed Technical Specification to read as follows:
6.8.A.I. The procedures applicable to the safe storage and handling of irradiated fuel recommended in Appendix A, of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978;
- 6. 8. A. 8. Winterization Program applicable to the safe storage and handling of irradiated fuel.
A substantive change is being made to the proposed Technical Specification 6.8.A.1. This change adds the requirement for procedural controls for the safe handling of irradiated fuel.
Technical Specification 6.8.A.8 is being ad6ed to ensure procedural controls for the Winterization Program applicable to the safe storage and handling of irradiated fuel.
Reason 1 or Change This change is being made to ensure procedures are established, implemented, and maintained covering the safe handling of irradiated fuel and the Winterization Program.
)
EIDppsed Technical Snecification 6.8.D.4 In the amendment request of reference (a), it was proposed to add Technical Specification 6.8.D.4 for the Radioactive Effluent Control Program. Technical Specification 6.8.D.4 was proposed to be word for word the same as the Unit 2/3 Technical Specification 6.8.D.4.
Ilowever, in making the change to Technical Specification 6.8.D.4.b the wording "to 10 CFR l Part 20.1001 - 20.2402," was inadvertently omitted. Attachment 2 contains Technical l Specification 6.8.D.4 which is word for word the same as the Dresden Unit 2/3 Technical l Specification 6.8.D.4 in accordance with the amendment request of reference (a).
Reason For Change ;
l This change is being made in accordance with the amendment request of reference (a).

. Erpposed Technical Soccification 6.12.B In the amendment request of reference (a), it was proposed to add Technical Specification 6.12.B for Jhe control ofIfigh Radiation Areas. Technical Specification 6.12.B was proposed to be equivalent to the Unit 2/3 Technical Specification 6.12.B. Ilowever, in making the change to Techaical Specification 6.12.B.2, the wording "(or equivalent document)" was inadvertently omitted. Attachment 2 contains Technical Specification 6.12.B which is word for word the same as the Dresden Unit 2/3 Technical Specification 6.12.B in accordance with the amendment request of reference (a).
, Reason For Change This change is being made in accordance with the amendment request of reference (a).
