50-328 SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT (SQN) UNITS 1 AND 2 - NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION (NRC) GENERIC LETTER (GL) 2004-02, POTENTIAL IMPACT OF DEBRIS BLOCKAGE ON EMERGENCY RECIRCULATION DURING DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENTS AT PRESSURIZED-WATER REACTORS (PWR) - NOTICE OF COMPLETION (TAC NOS. MC4717, MC4718)

Reference:

1) TVA letter to NRC dated September 1, 2005, "Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) Units 1 and 2 - Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Generic Letter (GL) 2004-02, Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation During Design Basis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors (PWR) - Second Response (TAC NOS. MC4717, MC4718)"
2) TVA letter to NRC dated December 21, 2006, "Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) Units 1 and 2 - Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Generic Letter (GL) 2004-02, Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation During Design Basis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors (PWR) - Supplemental Response (TAC NOS. MC4717, MC4718)"

The purpose of this letter is to provide notice of completion of the planned activities discussed in SQN's supplemental response (Reference 2). Specifically, SQN has completed the design and installation of the sump strainers for the containment as committed in Reference 1. The design of the sump strainer flow area provides margin reserved for chemical effects in terms of additional pressure loss across the strainer assembly. An additional strainer head loss margin allocation of 0.20 ft of water was applied to the available pump net positive suction head to account for potential sump Printed on recycled paper

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 November 28, 2007 inventory chemical effects as shown in Reference 2. TVA will continue to monitor the industry's efforts regarding chemical effects and will evaluate the results for potential effects on the SQN design.

There are no new commitments made in this letter. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at (423) 843-7170.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 28th day of November 2007.

Sincerely,
