Abstract
This Organization Topical Report (TVA-NPOD89-A) includes the descriptions for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Nuclear organization including the Browns Ferry (BFN),
Sequoyah (SQN), Watts Bar (WBN) Nuclear Plants, and the TVA Nuclear corporate organization. This report contains the senior management, technical support and operating organization descriptions, and organization charts that meet the content guidance of Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Regulatory Guide 1.70, Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition, Rev. 3 (November 1978).
Qualification requirements and training descriptions specified in the standard format document will continue to be addressed in each plant's Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
The detailed TVA Quality Assurance organization and program description is contained in the TVA Nuclear Quality Assurance Plan (TVA-NQA-PLN89-A) and is not repeated herein.
The purpose of the TVA Nuclear Organization Description (TVA-NPOD89-A) is to establish a controlled, single-source document, and a disciplined process for communicating the organizational structure and position descriptions to the NRC. TVA-NPOD89-A has been referenced in the UFSARs, Technical Specifications, Nuclear Quality Assurance Plan, and other documents that may refer to the TVA Nuclear organization. This topical report is updated as necessary to reflect major organizational changes. Because this topical report encompasses multiple plants, subsequent updates to the Organization Topical Report will be provided on a biennial basis to ensure that TVA meets the refuel cycle criterion of Title 10 of the Code Federal Regulations 50.71(e) for each unit at each site.
