Introduction & Background

• • TVA voluntarily shutdown all three units in 1985 Unit 2 restarted in 1991 SUnit 3 restarted in 1995 Unit 1 defueled with a layup and preservation program in place

• • License renewal letter of intent submitted on June 1, 2000

• - TVA Board adopted the SEIS preferred alternative on May 16, 2002 Units 1,2, and 3 license renewal SUnit 1 restart with extended power uprate Final SEIS published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2002

• - Record of Decision issued June 18, 2002

• • Unit 1 restart by May 2007 Tim Abney 2

Introduction & Background, continued TVA will submit an application to renew the operating licenses for Browns Ferry, Units 1, 2, and 3 by December 2003 SConsistent with NRC regulatory burden reduction policy and NRC strategic plan Most economical, efficient path for both TVA ratepayers and NRC Three-unit application has no safety impacts TVA NRC Reduced NRC fees Simultaneous review of three identical units is Optimizes staff resources the most efficient process Consistent with staff approach for other multi unit sites

• o TVA will submit a complete application that will enable the staff to make a reasonable assurance finding Tim Abney 3

Unitl1 Licensing Basis

.:. The Unit 1 licensing basis is well-known, documented Unit 1 elements of the FSAR have been maintained Unit differences identified 4:e Key Unit 1 scoping documentation is available SFSAR Technical Specifications Safe shutdown analysis

o.

UFSAR update planned just prior to LRA submittal

,Annual application updates will reflect the modification program

• o TVA has a clear vision of the ultimate Unit 1 licensing basis based on the Units 2/3 precedent as reflected in the FSAR Technical Specifications Nuclear Performance Plan Programs Generic letter & Bulletin responses Tim Abney

Unit I Restart & Power Uprate Programs Synergies With License Renewal

• • Unit fidelity Same design and licensing basis, materials, and environments Common control bay for Units 1 and 2 Unit 1 reactor building design same as Units 2 and 3 Extended power uprate conditions factored into license renewal EQ calculations RPV pressure - temperature curves Unit I modification program predominantly involves commodity upgrades that do not change the licensing basis 750,000 feet of cable S10,000 feet of large bore pipe S15,000 feet of small bore pipe

• Rigorous configuration management program in place Ensures the licensing basis continues to be maintained

• • Extensive pre-service Section Xl inspections in addition to other baseline condition monitoring and post-modification inspections Provides enhanced opportunities for license renewal inspections Joe Valente

Application Format

• • SRP/ GALL format with lessons-learned from Demonstration Project and subsequent applications

• o TVA's plan for Unit 1 will result in identical units at restart Any Unit 1 licensing basis differences will be annotated in combined application (multi-site) format o:o Implementation of Unit 1 modifications (and incorporation into the licensing basis) are expected to have minimal impact on the application No new intended functions, materials or environments anticipated for Unit 1 No new aging management programs anticipated for Unit 1 Gary Adkins 7

Application Methodology

• Use the Unit 1 current licensing basis for scoping, screening, and TLAA identification

),Implement process for reviewing Unit 1 modifications for impact on the LRA

,e:- Operating experience Three identical units - Units 2/3 operating experience applicable to Unit 1 Unit 1 included in industry operating experience review

>. Supplemented by Unit 1 layup program experience AMRs -same aging management programs will be credited for all three units

ý, Aging management programs will be evaluated against the GALL AMP commitments will be implementation commitments No Unit 1 specific program commitments Gary Adkins 8

Environmental Review

• • TVA proposes NRC adopt the Browns Ferry License Renewal SEIS

• • SEIS addresses NRC environmental review items Specifically incorporates the GElS Includes Part 51 plant-specific issues

• • SEIS has been extensively reviewed Intergovernmental reviews EPA comments incorporated Cooperating federal agency efficiencies noted by EPA

• • Public participation accomplished Two public meetings Three public comment periods

• • Process provides for NRC independent review prior to adoption

• • NRC adoption would allow for additional public input

• • NRC (AEC) was a cooperating federal agency on the original Browns Ferry Construction/Operation EIS Mark Burzynski 10
