On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order (Reference 1) to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directed TVA to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities following a beyond-design-basis external event. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan (OIP) pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-06 Revision 0 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 4 provided the TVA initial status report regarding mitigation strategies. Reference 5 provided the TVA Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Units 1, 2, and 3 OIP. Reference 9 provided Revision 1 of the OIP.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission CNL-18-017 Page4 February 23, 2018 Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the OIP. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. TVA provided the first six-month status report on August 28, 2013 (Reference 6) . The NRC issued its Interim Staff Evaluation regarding TVA's OIP on December 19, 2013 (Reference 7). TVA has provided the subsequent six-month status reports in References 8 through 10, and 12 through 16. The NRC issued its onsite Audit Report on April 6, 2015 (Reference 11 ).

The purpose of this letter is to provide the tenth six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1. The enclosed report provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the ninth six-month status report, including any changes to the compliance method or schedule .

There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this letter. If you have any question regarding this submittal , please contact Mike Oliver at (256) 729-7874.

EOI Appendix-20M is performed, and it contains steps to disable the RCIC electronic governor and control flow with the RCIC trip/throttle valve, FCV-71-9. The electronic governor is susceptible to failure at room temperatures above 150°F, which occurs at approximately 7.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> into the event. These appendices are performed as soon as the SBO flowchart is entered. In order to ensure continued operation with high suppression pool temperatures, DCN 71329 included a connection point from the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water (EECW) header, which will supply cooling water to the RCIC oil cooler. This allows the normal cooling water supply (suppression pool) to be valved out and cooler water from the FLEX pumps via the EECW header to be valved in.

However, compliance with Order EA-13-109 does use within current design not support implementation schedule of the FLEX Order limits. EA-12-049. Based on the difference in implementation schedules between Orders EA-13-109 and EA-12-049, BFN has requested and received a relaxation for full compliance with Order EA-12-049.

Valves FCV-064-0221 and -0222 have the ability to be manually operated based on the design implemented under GL 89-16, Installation of a Hardened Wetwell Vent. The event in which operation of the HCVS valves would be needed is a BDBEE. Operations would be performing actions as needed to maintain the plant in a safe condition, and operation of components to vent containment would be performed in accordance with procedure 2-EOI Appendix 13, Emergency Venting Primary Containment. Since the plant is performing mitigation strategies and fuel damage has not occurred, environmental conditions in the area would allow access to the valves for operation.

OI-15: Detailed staffing studies Closed - Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant has completed a based on the Phase 2 ELAP ERO Staffing Analysis Report in accordance procedures/guidance with NEI 12-01. The analysis concluded the on-shift ERO developed. staffing present for the no-site access 6-hour time period is sufficient to perform the FSI, EOI, and emergency response tasks.

OI-16. Validation of the time lines Closed - Validation of the time lines for the various for the various strategies. strategies was performed in accordance with 0-FSI-8B, FLEX Strategy Validation Process (Ref. 13s). This FSI utilized NEI 14-01 FLEX Validation Process as a reference.

OI-17: Browns Ferry Nuclear Closed - BFN has utilized the industry-developed guidance Plant (BFN) will utilize the from the BWROG, EPRI, and NEI Task team to develop industry developed site specific procedures that addressed the criteria in guidance from the Owners NEI 12-06 (Ref. 6). Procedure 0-AOI-57-1A, Loss Of Groups, EPRI and NEI Offsite Power (161 and 500 KV)/Station Blackout, the Task team to develop site EOI appendices, and the FSIs support the existing specific procedures or symptom-based command and control strategies in the guidelines to address the current EOIs.

These procedures and/or guidelines will support the existing symptom based command and control strategies in the current EOIs.

OI-18: New training of general Closed - Procedure TRN-30, Radiological Emergency station staff and EP will be Preparedness Training, requires the Emergency performed prior to the first Preparedness responders to complete INPO Generic Basic BFN unit design Flex Training (NANTEL 00002382), and, for persons implementation outage. assigned key positions, the INPO Generic Advanced Flex These programs and Training (NANTEL 00002385). Training requirements by controls will be position are listed in TRN-30, Attachment 3. This TRN was implemented in developed in accordance with the Systematic Approach to accordance with the Training (SAT).

Systematic Approach to Additional overview training was developed for Training.

Maintenance personnel that may be asked to deploy and connect equipment in various scenarios. This training was developed using the SAT process and approved by the respective Maintenance training oversight committees. The Technical training organizations also documented Training Needs Analysis for their groups with conclusions being that Nantel Basic FLEX overview is sufficient at this time.
