Topical Report TVA-NPOD89-A Rev. 17 Abstract The TVA Nuclear Power Group (NPG) Organization Description (TVA-NPOD89-A) includes organization descriptions for Browns Ferry (BFN), Sequoyah (SQN), Watts Bar (WBN), and TVA Corporate Nuclear. This report contains the senior management, technical support and operating organization descriptions, and organization charts that meet the "content" guidance of Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) Regulatory Guide 1.70, Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants - LWR Edition, Rev. 3 (November 1978).
Qualification 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 NPG Quality Assurance Plan (TVA-NQA-PLN89-A) and is not repeated herein.
The original purpose of the NPG 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 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 NPG organization. This topical report is updated 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.
