Subject:
Meteorology Data for Accident Dose Analysis
Reference:
TVA to NRC letter dated October 17, 2011, "Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2 - Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) - Chapter 15.5 Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) Dose Analysis" The referenced letter provided hourly meteorology data for the 20-year period of 1991 to 2010 on optical media. This data was used to develop the dispersion factors for the accident dose analysis presented in FSAR Section 15.5.
Draft FSAR Section 2.3 Tables developed from the 20-year meteorology data are enclosed herein. The tables are being provided in advance of the submittal of WBN Unit 2 FSAR Amendment 107 in response to a verbal request from the NRC staff.
There are no new commitments in this submittal.
If you have any questions, please contact Gordon Arent at (423) 365-2004.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 7 th day of November 2011.
Respectfully, David Stinson Watts Bar Unit 2 Vice President
