NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0487] 

Notice of Availability of the Models for 

Plant-Specific Adoption of Technical 

Specifications Task Force Traveler 

TSTF–493, Revision 4, ‘‘Clarify 

Application of Setpoint Methodology 

for LSSS Functions’’ 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The NRC is announcing the 

availability of model applications (with 

model no significant hazards 

consideration determinations) and 

model safety evaluations (SEs) of the 

options for plant-specific adoption of 

Technical Specifications Task Force 

(TSTF) Traveler TSTF–493, Revision 4, 

‘‘Clarify Application of Setpoint 

Methodology for LSSS Functions.’’ 

TSTF–493, Revision 4, and an errata 

sheet are available in the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) under Accession 

Numbers ML100060064 and 

ML101160026, respectively. The 

proposed changes revise Standard 

Technical Specifications (TSs) with 

respect to limiting safety system settings 

(LSSSs) assessed during periodic testing 

and calibration of instrumentation that 

may have an adverse effect on 

equipment operability. This model SEs 

will facilitate expedited approval of 

plant-specific adoption of TSTF–493, 

Revision 4.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

TSTF–493, Revision 4, is applicable 

to all nuclear power reactors. Licensees 

opting to apply for this TS change are 

responsible for reviewing the NRC 

staff’s model SE, referencing the 

applicable technical justifications, and 

providing any necessary plant-specific 

information. The NRC will process each 

amendment application responding to 

this notice of availability according to 

applicable NRC rules and procedures. 

The models do not prevent licensees 

from requesting an alternate approach or 

proposing changes other than those 

proposed in TSTF–493, Revision 4. 

However, significant deviations from 

the approach recommended in this 

notice or the inclusion of additional 

changes to the license require additional 

NRC staff review. This may increase the 

time and resources needed for the 

review or result in NRC staff rejection of 

the license amendment request (LAR). 

Licensees desiring significant deviations 

or additional changes should instead 

submit an LAR that does not claim to 

adopt TSTF–493, Revision 4. 

The NRC staff requests that each 

licensee applying for the changes 

proposed in TSTF–493, Revision 4, 

include documentation regarding the 

following in their LAR: 

Adoption of TSTF–493, Option A With 

Changes to Setpoint Values 

• The licensee must propose to add 

footnotes to the applicable functions 

identified in TSTF–493, Revision 4, 

Appendix A. 

• The licensee must provide 

summary calculations for the revised 

setpoints as documentation of the plantspecific instrument setpoint 

methodology for Option A. This 

includes the calculation basis for the 

Limiting Trip Setpoint (LTSP), Nominal 

Trip Setpoint (NTSP), Allowable Value 

(AV), As-Found Tolerance band, and 

As-Left Tolerance band, for each change 

to an automatic protection 

instrumentation function setpoint value. 

If multiple similar setpoints are 

proposed to be revised, a summary 

calculation for each type of setpoint 

being changed may be submitted instead 

of calculations for individual Functions, 

provided the LAR contains a reasoned 

quantitative or qualitative analysis, as 

appropriate, of how the summary 

calculation(s) represent the type of 

setpoint values proposed to be changed. 

Adoption of TSTF–493, Option A 

Without Changes to Setpoint Values 

• The licensee must add footnotes to 

all the functions identified in TSTF– 

493, Revision 4, Appendix A. No 

changes to any setpoint values are 

proposed. Since no setpoint changes are 

being proposed, there is no need to 

provide the setpoint methodology for 

review or to provide any full or 

summary calculations. 

Adoption of TSTF–493 With Option B— 

the Setpoint Control Program Option 

• The licensee must provide the 

plant-specific evaluation for the list of 

instrument Functions that are described 

in Setpoint Control Program (SCP) TS 

5.5.[18] Paragraph a. 

• The licensee must provide the 

content and application of the plantspecific setpoint methodology required 

by the SCP TS 5.5.[18] Paragraph b. This 

includes the calculation basis for the 

LTSP, NTSP, AV, As-Found Tolerance 

band, and As-Left Tolerance band for 

each automatic protection 

instrumentation function. The licensee 

must also describe the program methods 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 90 / Tuesday, May 11, 2010 / Notices 26295 

for ensuring the requirements in 

Paragraph d will function as required by 

verifying the As-Left and As-Found 

settings are consistent with those 

established by the setpoint 

methodology. Discussion should 

include how the plant licensing basis 

meets the guidance provided in 

Regulatory Information Summary 2006– 

17, ‘‘NRC Staff Position on the 

Requirements of 10 CFR 50.36, 

‘Technical Specifications,’ Regarding 

Limiting Safety System Settings During 

Periodic Testing and Calibration of 

Instrument Channels,’’ and Regulatory 

Guide 1.105, Revision 3, ‘‘Setpoints for 

Safety-Related Instrumentation.’’ 

Describe the measures to be taken to 

ensure that the associated instrument 

channel is capable of performing its 

safety function(s) in accordance with 

applicable design requirements and 

associated analyses. Include information 

on the controls employed to ensure that 

the As-Left trip setting after completion 

of periodic surveillance is consistent 

with the setpoint methodology. Also, 

discuss the plant corrective action 

processes (including plant procedures) 

for restoring channels to operable status. 

If the controls are located in a document 

other than the TS (e.g., plant test 

procedure), describe how it is ensured 

that the controls will be implemented. 

• The licensee must provide the 

plant-specific evaluation identifying the 

Functions required by SCP TS 5.5.[18] 

Paragraph d. In accordance with 

Paragraph d, Functions described in 

SCP TS 5.5.[18] Paragraph a are 

evaluated to identify Functions that are 

automatic protective devices related to 

variables having significant safety 

functions as delineated by 10 CFR 

50.36(c)(1)(ii)(A). Identify any deviation 

from TSTF–493, Revision 4, and explain 

the basis for each deviation. Paragraph 

d contains three exclusion criteria to be 

applied during the evaluation. 

Paragraph d also requires specifying TS 

Surveillance Requirements which are 

applicable to the performance testing 

criteria of Paragraph d. This 

requirement of Paragraph d should also 

be included. For Functions which are 

not under the scope of SCP Paragraph d, 

but are included in SCP Paragraph a, 

explain how the requirements of 

Paragraph c will be met.

of April 2010.
