NRC STAFFS September 6, 2011 BIMONTHLY REPORT REGARDING THE SCHEDULE FOR REVIEW OF THE WATTS BAR NUMBER 2 LICENSE APPLICATION The Staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Staff) hereby provides the information the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (Board) requested in its May 26, 2010 Scheduling Order (Order). In the Order, the Board instructed the Staff to submit a report on July 2, 2010, to be updated on the first Tuesday of every other month thereafter, updating its estimates of the dates on which the final Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") and the final Safety Evaluation Report ("SER") will be issued, and in addition, to promptly inform the Board of any other developments that could potentially impact the schedule for this proceeding.

The current estimates are changed from those provided in July 2011.

The Staff now estimates May of 2012 for completion of the final supplement to NUREG-0498, Final Environmental Statement Related to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Units Nos. 1 and 2, (December, 1978), and March of 2012 for the final supplement to NUREG-0847, Safety Evaluation Report Related ("SSER") to the Operation of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, (June 1982) which will be presented to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards.

However, the Staff may issue one or more additional supplements as TVA completes all construction; the Staff anticipates such supplements will be issued no later than December of 2012.

Respectfully submitted,
