Action: Notice of opportunity for public comment
Citation: FR Doc. 2012-1912 · Project No. 753, NRC-2012-0019

Summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting public comment on the proposed model safety evaluation (SE) for plant-specific adoption of Technical Specifications (TS) Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-432, Revision 1, “Change in Technical Specifications End States (WCAP-16294).” TSTF-432, Revision 1, is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Number ML103360003; the model application is available in ADAMS under Accession Number ML113202614. The proposed model SE for plant-specific adoption of TSTF-432, Revision 1, is available electronically under ADAMS Accession Number ML112991526. The proposed change revises the Improved Standard Technical Specification (ISTS), NUREG-1431, “Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants,” to permit, for some systems, entry into a hot shutdown (Mode 4) end state rather than a cold shutdown (Mode 5) end state. The model SE will facilitate expedited approval of plant-specific adoption of TSTF-432, Revision 1. This TS improvement is part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).

Dates

Comment period expires on February 29, 2012. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.
