Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market Street, LP 3R Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402-2801 R. M. Krich Vice President Nuclear Licensing May 25, 2011 10 CFR 54.7 ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 NRC Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328
Subject:
Revision to Expected Submittal Dates for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant License Renewal Applications
References:
- 1. Letter from TVA to NRC, "Expected Submittal Dates for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant License Renewal Applications," dated August 5, 2009
- 2. NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2009-06, "Importance of Giving NRC Advance Notice of Intent to Pursue License Renewal," dated June 15, 2009 The purpose of this letter is to notify Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of a revision to the expected submittal dates for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) license renewal applications for both Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) units. The SQN, Unit 1, and SQN, Unit 2, licenses will expire in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Reference 1 letter provided expected submittal dates in the second calendar quarter of 2013 for the SQN, Units 1 and 2, license renewal applications. Based on a May 17, 2011, telephone conference call between NRC and TVA representatives, the SQN, Units 1 and 2, license renewal applications are expected to be submitted in the first calendar quarter of 2013.
While this is a target date for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant submittal, TVA notes that the final submittal date is contingent on a favorable decision by the TVA Board. This decision will be made once the required agency reviews are conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. The TVA Board is expected to consider this matter later this calendar year.
