Content:
TS COL items before COL issuance. The COL applicant may propose to resolve each such item using one of the following three options, listed in order of preference: (1) Provide a plant–specific value. (2) Provide a value that bounds the plant–specific value, but by which the plant may be safely operated (i.e., a useable bounding value). (3) Establish a plant–specific TS Section 5.5 or 5.6 administrative controls program or report. An administrative controls TS as described in option (3) shall require (a) use of an NRC–reviewed and –approved methodology for determining the plant–specific value, (b) establishment of an associated document, outside the plant–specific TS, in which the relocated plant–specific value shall be recorded and maintained, and (c) any other information or restrictions the NRC staff deems necessary and appropriate to satisfy 10 CFR 50.36. For example, some COL applicants have proposed an administrative controls technical specification for a setpoint control program to satisfy 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(ii)(A) in lieu of specifying explicit values for the limiting safety settings in the plant–specific TS. 16.0-5 Revision 3 – March 2010 Options (2) and (3) should allow an applicant to provide the necessary information without relying on information that is impractical to obtain before the time of COL issuance (i.e., information such as design detail, equipment selection, as–built system configuration, and system test results). Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. The TS branch reviewer, with concurrence from applicable technical reviewers, determines the acceptability of plant–specific TS proposed in applications for CPs and OLs under 10 CFR Part 50 or COLs under 10 CFR Part 52. In particular, the TS branch reviewer and licensing PM coordinate secondary reviews by technical reviewers, utilizing the current work planning process as follows: A. The technical reviewers determine, as necessary,
