NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Project No. 753; NRC-2010-0170]
Notice of Availability of Proposed Models for Plant-Specific
Adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-500,
Revision 2, ``DC Electrical Rewrite--Update to TSTF-360''
AGENCY: 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 plant-specific
adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-
500, Revision 2, ``DC Electrical Rewrite--Update to TSTF-360''
(Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession
No. ML092670242). The changes revise Technical Specifications (TS)
3.8.4, ``DC Sources Operating,'' TS 3.8.5, ``DC Sources--Shutdown,''
and TS 3.8.6, ``Battery Cell Parameters.'' Additionally, a new
Administrative Controls program, titled ``Battery Monitoring and
Maintenance Program,'' is added to Section 5.5, ``Programs and
Manuals.'' The CLIIP model SE will facilitate expedited approval of
plant-specific adoption of Traveler TSTF-500, Revision 2.

Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-

For technical questions, please contact Mr. Gerald Waig, Senior Reactor

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSTF-500, Revision 2, is applicable to all
nuclear power reactors. The Traveler modifies the Standard TS
requirements related to the DC electrical power systems. 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 NOA
according to applicable NRC rules and procedures.
This CLIIP change does not prevent licensees from requesting an
alternate approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in
TSTF-500, Revision 2. 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
license amendment request (LAR). Licensees desiring significant
deviations or additional changes should instead submit an LAR that does
not claim to adopt TSTF-500, Revision 2.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of August 2011.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
John R. Jolicoeur,
Chief, Licensing Processes Branch, Division of Policy and Rulemaking,
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
