REGION II

245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 April 27, 2017 Mr. Joseph Vice President, Nuclear Licensing Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market Street, LP 3R-C Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801 SUBJECT: WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT - U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PHYSICAL SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000390/2017403 AND 05000391/2017403

Dear Mr. Shea:

On March 16, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security inspection at your Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, and discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. P. Simmons and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.

NRC inspectors documented one finding of very low security significance (Green) in this report.

This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

If you contest this violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this IR with the basis of your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.

The finding had a crosscutting aspect in the area of Human Performance H.1, Resources, because the licensee failed to ensure that procedures and other resources were available and adequate to support nuclear safety (Section 3S01).

If you disagree with a crosscutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this IR with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.
