U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 February 26, 2003 condition establishes special provisions and requirements for safe operation of Unit 2 while heavy load lifts are performed on Unit 1. The provision for heavy load lifts is described in Topical Report 24370-TR-C-002. The topical report, as supplemented by Reference 2, contains prerequisite actions for heavy load movement, active monitoring during heavy load movement, and compensatory measures in response to the unlikely event of a heavy load drop.

The enclosed revised one-time license condition replaces the license condition proposed in TVA TS Change 02-03, Revision 1, provided by Reference 1. As discussed with the NRC staff, this revision is needed to direct the application of the license condition to a table (3.1) that is to be created in the NRC safety evaluation. This table is intended to be a list of those actions TVA will take prior to performing the subject heavy load lifts as well as those actions to be taken for a postulated drop of the heavy load.

TVA has determined that there are no impacts to the significant hazards considerations provided by Revision 1 of this change request. Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b) (1), TVA is sending a copy of this letter and enclosure to the Tennessee State Department of Public Health.

The enclosure contains a page from Unit 2 OL marked-up to show the proposed change. TVA requests NRC review and approval to support the Sequoyah Unit 1 steam generator replacement outage currently scheduled to begin March 16, 2003.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 February 26, 2003 There are no additional commitments contained in this submittal. This letter is being sent in accordance with NRC RIS 2001-05. If you have any questions about this change, please telephone me at (423) 843-7170 or J. D. Smith at (423) 843-6672.
