Background

• All three BFN Units are essentially identical GE BWR4, Mark I Containment reactors

• Designed and constructed by TVA

• Units 1, 2, and 3 licensed in 1973, 1974, and 1976 respectively

• All three BFN units voluntarily shutdown by TVA in March 1985, because of regulatory and management issues

- TVA committed to obtain NRC approval prior to restart of any BFN unit

- TVA submitted the Nuclear Performance Plan, Volume 3, in August 1986. It outlined the steps needed to recover the BFN units and was specifically directed to Unit 2 Ashok Bhatnagar 3

B ackground

• TVA executed Unit 2 restart plan, obtained NRC approval, and restarted Unit 2 on May 24, 1991

• TVA proposed regulatory framework for restart of Units 1 and 3 in July 1991, outlining improvements to the Unit 2 restart plan

• NRC approved the regulatory framework proposed by TVA in April 1992

• TVA executed the Unit 3 restart plan, obtained NRC approval, and restarted Unit 3 on November 19, 1995

• TVA Board of Directors decided on May 16, 2002, to restart Unit 1 after detailed study and favorable Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Ashok Bhatnagar 4

Unit 1 Restart Project Objectives

• Unit Fidelity

- Return Unit 1 to service operationally the same as Units 2 and 3

- Utilize current design criteria

- Utilize existing TVA procedures, programs and processes

• Project Integration

- Extensive integrated planning and scheduling which incorporated lessons learned from Units 2 and 3

- Touch each component, system, and plant area only once

• Return Unit 1 in condition to operate safely, efficiently, and reliably Jon Rupert S

Unit 1 Restart Organization

• Dedicated resources for Unit 1 restart

• TVA management team with experience on restart of Units 2 and 3

• Bechtel is primary engineering contractor, Stone and Webster is primary maintenance and modifications contractor

• Unit 1 team closely integrated with operating units' team

• Organizational structure and strong team in place for restart effort Jon Rupert 6
