Abstract
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations pertaining to technical specifications for nuclear power reactors. The rule codifies criteria for determining the content of technical specifications. Each licensee covered by these regulations may voluntarily use the criteria as a basis to propose the relocation of existing technical specifications that do not meet any of the criteria from the facility license to licensee-controlled documents. The voluntary conversion of current technical specifications in this manner is expected to produce an improvement in the safety of nuclear power plants through a reduction in unnecessary plant transients and more efficient use of NRC and industry resources.
