BELLEFONTE, BROWNS FERRY, SEQUOYAH, AND WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANTS Enclosed is the revised Topical Report which incorporates organizational changes that have been announced through July 31, 2005.

Revision 14 to the TVAN organization Topical Report describes the organizations responsible for the management and operation of TVA's nuclear projects.

The primary revisions include:

(1) the continued standardization of organizations at the operating sites, and (2) the further consolidation of TVAN functions to align TVAN's Corporate functions and organization.

This ensures enhanced service and support to the nuclear sites and efficient and effective delivery of that support.

TVA is currently evaluating additional standardization at its operating sites in an effort to further improve the organization's effectiveness and efficiency.

Since this Topical Report encompasses multiple plants, subsequent updates will be filed on a yearly basis to ensure that TVA meets the refuel cycle criterion of 10 CFR 50.71(e) for each unit at each site.

If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Terry Knuettel at (423) 751-6673.

Topical Report TVA-NPOD89-A Rev. 14 ABSTRACT The TVA Nuclear (TVAN) Organization Description (TVA-NPOD89-A) includes organization descriptions for Browns Ferry (BFN), Sequoyah (SQN), Watts Bar (WBN), and Bellefonte Nuclear (BLN) Plants. This report contains the senior management, technical support and operating organization descriptions, and organization charts that meet the "content" guidance of NRC's Regulatory Guide 1.70, Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition, Rev. 3 (November 1978).

Qualifications requirements and training descriptions specified in the standard format document will continue to be addressed in each plant's Final Safety Analysis report. The detailed TVA Nuclear Assurance organization and program description is contained in the TVAN Quality Assurance Plan (TVA-NQA-PLN89-A) and is not repeated herein.

v

Topical Report TVA-NPOD89-A Rev. 14 INTRODUCTION The original purpose of the TVAN Organization Description TVA-NPOD89-A was to establish a controlled, single-source document and a disciplined process for communicating organization structure and position descriptions to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). TVA-NPOD89-A will be referenced in future revisions of our license applications including the Safety Analysis Reports, Technical Specifications, the Nuclear Quality Assurance Plan, and other documents that may refer to the TVAN organization. This topical report will be revised as necessary to reflect major organizational changes. Since this topical report encompasses multiple plants, subsequent updates to the Topical Report will be filed on a yearly basis to ensure that TVA meets the refuel cycle criterion of 10 CFR 50.71 (e) for each unit at each site.

Even more critical than meeting external expectations is the assurance that the nuclear power plant work force has been properly trained on a task-by-task basis to perform individual and team duties in an accurate, timely, and safe manner. This position is responsible for establishing, delivering, and maintaining such performance-based personnel training programs.
