NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2009-0403]


Notice of Availability of the Proposed Models For Plant-Specific 
Adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-
446, Revision 3, ``Risk Informed Evaluation of Extensions to 
Containment Isolation Valve Completion Times (WCAP-15791)''

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC is announcing the availability of the proposed model 
application (with model no significant hazards consideration 
determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for plant-specific 
adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-
446, Revision 3, ``Risk Informed Evaluation of Extensions to 
Containment Isolation Valve Completion Times (WCAP-15791).'' TSTF-446, 
Revision 3, is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and 
Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Number ML080510164. The 
proposed changes revise Standard Technical Specifications (TS) with 
respect to completion times for containment isolation valves. This 
model SE will facilitate expedited approval of plant-specific adoption 
of TSTF-446, Revision 3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    TSTF-446, Revision 3, is applicable to all Westinghouse plants. 
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 proposed models do not prevent licensees from requesting an 
alternate approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in 
TSTF-446, 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. 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-446, Revision 3.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of June 2010.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Licensing Processes Branch, Division of Policy and Rulemaking,
