Dear Mr. Davis:
On October 24,1997, the stan issued a ILanse amendment for the H.B. Robinson 2 conversion to the improved Standard Technical Specifications (STS). Thl is the 12th conversion to the improved STS, which will result in 16 units operating with these technical specifications. The Robinson conversion is unique in that h served as a pilot for the development by NRC of a new format for the safety evaluation (SE) which should result in stan resource savings and more timely reviews, while at the same time providing a clearer and more succinct product. In addition, the Robinson conversion amendment included a new license condition to ensure that surveillance schedules are not perturtad by the conversion to the improved STG. This amendment also contains a licensee condition to enforce licensee commitments to relocate hems removed from the technleal specifications to the appropdate licensee-controlled documents. This latter license condition is similar to one that is now being used by the staN for other relocations.
A key feature of the revised SE is a series of tables containing summary descriptions and categories of the changes to the technical specifications as a result of the conversion. It is s i
expectation thtt licensees will provide these tables to the stan late in the review process as the stan starts to write the SE. No change in the format of the initial submittalis being requested.
t However, licensees should be aware of this expectation so that they can ensure tnal their data bases and word processing can easily generate these tables from existing subrMdal material at the appropdate point in time. We request that you make the availability of thir amendment and revised SE format widely known throughout the industry and include a referr. nee to it in your planned update to NEl 96 06.
