Dear Sir,

EIS input C C')

m F-1I I would like to voice my concern over the life extension request of the t-n Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in conjunction with the restart efforts of Unit 1. I will only focus on the high discharge temperature that will occur when all three units are operating @ 3952 Mega-watts Thermal. The existing five cooling towers are unable to cool the water at peak summer conditions without derating an operating unit. There is no concerted effort to built back cooling tower #4 or build additional cooling towers to allow operation @ 100% of Extended Power Uprate (EPU) without derating all three units or having to take one off-line.

Studies have been conducted by TVA's Norris labs to validate this assertion.

I believe there is a planned effort to allow Unit 1 to continue in it's effort to restart with paying for the adequate cooling to meet the discharge limits. This is being driven by a fervent desire to hold the restart costs down and not impact schedule dates.

Due to my present status, I need to remain anonymous.
