MEMORANDUM FOR: Those on Attached List FROM:
Dennis M. Crutchfield, Assistant Director for Safety Assessment Division of Licensing Thomas M. Novak, Assistant Director for Licensing Division of Licensing
SUBJECT:
FINAL DRAFT OF THE RIVER BEND UNIT 1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The attached final draft technical specifications for River Bend Unit 1 (enclosure 1) are being forwarded to you at this time for review. We request that you review those sections which pertain to your particular area of responsibility and that the results of this review, identifying the sections reviewed, be forwarded to the Technical Specification Review Group (TSRG) by May 6, 1985. We are distribeting these technical speci-fications at the NRR branch level, however, we request that the responses be consolidated, reviewed and returned at the Assistant Director level.
By issuing these technical specifications in the final draft form at this time without benefit of a formal proof and review period between the second draft and the final draft, we are making a significant deviation from our nomal technical specification preparation process. This deviation is being made in the interest of expediting the review process so as not to unneces-sarily delay the planned plant startup date of some time in June 1985. It is important to note, however, that even though we are skipping one of the steps in the preparation process we are not skipping any of the steps in our independent review and certification process to assure the safety adequacy of the technical specifications. These stegs, such as, the NRC Regional review, the internal NRC technical branch reviews, the independent NRC consultant i
review, and the applicants certification of the correctness of the technical specifications will be performed as shown on the enclosed marked up schedule for' River Bend (enclosure 2).
This is a very ambitious schedule we will be working to and will require the complete cooperation of all the parties involved. The schedule has been reviewed by both the NRC and applicant's management and has been established as the goal both organizations will be striving te echieve.
,p, In making judgements about the correctness or adequacy of these technical specifications for River Bend you should be guided by the principles of NRR Office Letter No. 38. Deviations from the (GE) STS should not be proposed or accepted by the staff or applicant unless they are:
(1) necessary because of unique design features or unique organization characteristics, or (2) represent a significant improvement over the STS which should be included in the next revision to the STS and do not represent a change in generic requirements wh'Ich must be reviewed prior to implementation by CRGR.
Deviations from the STS which have merit but are generic and require CRGR review shculd not be proposed at this time for River Bend.
Instead they should be prccessed thru CRGR as a revision to the STS which can later be applied to River Bend at the licensee's request or as a backfit by the staff.
Those generic changes involving an innediate safety concern should, however, not be delayed for CRGR review. Any such cases should be highligtTted for expedited action by DL and other appropriate NRC Divisions.
Mr. Dean Houston, of TSRG will be available during the final review period to answer any questions which arise. He is located in Room 521, of the Phillips Building and his telephone number is 49-28933.
Even if you have no consnents and are in agreement with the technical specifications content in your area of review, it is requested that a written response to that effect identifying those sections of the technical specificatic s reviewed be provided by the above specified date.
