NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2009-0444]
Notice of Availability of the Models for Plant-Specific Adoption
of Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-513, Revision 3,
``Revise PWR Operability Requirements and Actions for RCS Leakage
Instrumentation''
AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As part of the consolidated line item improvement process
(CLIIP), the NRC is announcing the availability of the model
application (with model no significant hazards consideration
determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for the plant-specific
adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-
513, Revision 3, ``Revise PWR [pressurized water reactor] Operability
Requirements and Actions for RCS [reactor coolant system] Leakage
Instrumentation.'' TSTF-513, Revision 3, is available in the Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Number
ML102360355. The proposed changes would revise the Standard Technical
Specifications (STS) to define a new time limit for restoring
inoperable RCS leakage detection instrumentation to operable status and
establish alternate methods of monitoring RCS leakage when one or more
required monitors are inoperable. Changes to the Technical
Specifications (TS) Bases are included, which reflect the proposed
changes and more accurately reflect the contents of the facility design
bases related to the operability of the RCS leakage detection
instrumentation. The CLIIP model SE will facilitate expedited approval
of plant-specific adoption of TSTF-513, Revision 3.

of Inspection and Regional Support, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001; telephone: 301-415-1472 or e-mail: [email protected] or Mrs.
Michelle Honcharik, Senior Project Manager, Licensing Processes Branch,
Mail Stop O-12D1, Division of Policy and Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSTF-513, Revision 3, is applicable to PWR
plants. Licensees opting to apply for this TS change are responsible
for reviewing TSTF-513, Revision 3, and the NRC staff's model SE,
referencing the applicable technical justifications, providing any
necessary plant-specific information, and assessing the completeness
and accuracy of their license amendment request (LAR). It is acceptable
for licensees to use plant-specific system names, TS numbering and
titles. The NRC will process each amendment application responding to
this notice of availability according to applicable NRC rules and
procedures.
The CLIIP does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate
approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in TSTF-513,
Revision 3. However, significant deviations from the approach
recommended in this notice or the inclusion of additional changes to
the license require additional NRC staff review and would not be
reviewed as a part of the CLIIP. This may increase the time and
resources needed for the review or result in NRC staff rejection of the
LAR. Licensees desiring significant deviations or additional changes
should instead submit an LAR that does not claim to adopt TSTF-513,
Revision 3.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Melissa A. Ash,
Acting Chief, Licensing Processes Branch, Division of Policy and
Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
