Docket No. 50-391-OL; ASLBP No. 09-893-01-OL-BD01

Dear Administrative Judges:

The NRC Staff hereby submits Supplement 4 to the hearing file for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (Unit 2) OL proceeding, Docket No. 50-391-OL.

Pursuant to the agreement of the parties, disclosures and the hearing file may be limited to final non-privileged documents relevant to the two admitted environmental contentions. Further, historical versions of the application need not be listed and privilege logs are waived.

This supplement to the hearing file includes materials required pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.1203, as well as the Staffs mandatory disclosures produced pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.336, as modified by the agreement. Materials in the hearing file may be accessed through the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). An index containing the ADAMS accession number, date, and title or description of each item in the hearing file is appended hereto as Attachment 1.

One protected document potentially relevant to Contention 7 is identified in Attachment 2. The NRC Staff is working with TVA to obtain a public version of the potentially relevant portions of the document.

On or around May 17, 2010, the supplement to the hearing file will be made available via the Electronic Hearing Docket (EHD), which may be accessed at the following URL:

L. McDade May 17, 2010 P. Abramson G. Arnold http://ehd.nrc.gov/EHD_Proceeding/home.asp. The hearing file will be contained in a sub-folder entitled, Watts Bar Hearing File" of the Watts_Bar_50-391-OL" folder of the EHD.

The Staff has taken a broad approach in identifying relevant documents for inclusion in the disclosures and hearing file. Additional public documents associated with the application, but not relevant to the two admitted contentions, are readily accessible in ADAMS. In addition, pursuant to the agreement of the parties, the Staff will continue to work with both parties to provide access to documents.

Further, attached is the affidavit of Joel Wiebe certifying that all relevant materials required under the agreement of the parties by this section have been disclosed, and that the disclosures are accurate and complete for documents identified as of May 17, 2010.

Sincerely, Signed (electronically) by David E. Roth Counsel for NRC Staff
