Tennessee Valley Authority, Post Office Box 2000, Spring City, Tennessee 37381-2000 July 19, 2012 10 CFR 50.4 ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 NRC Docket No. 50-391

Subject:

WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT (WBN) UNIT 2 - RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS WITH FIRE PROTECTION REPORT OPERATOR MANUAL ACTION (OMA) 732 - COMMITMENT SCHEDULE UPDATE (TAC NO. ME3091)

Reference:

TVA letter to NRC dated June 27, 2012, "Resolution of Concerns with Fire Protection Report (FPR) Operator Manual Action (OMA) 732 and Response to Requests for Additional Information (TAC No. ME3091)"

The purpose of this letter is to update the schedule for the following commitment regarding Operator Manual Action (OMA) 732 that was made in the referenced TVA letter:

"The problems impacting OMA 732 are being addressed under Problem Evaluation Report 558202 in TVA's Corrective Action Program. Once the required corrective actions are implemented, the Fire Protection Report (FPR) will be revised accordingly and an update to the report will be submitted to NRC by July 26, 2012."

As discussed on July 19, 2012, between Justin Poole, NRC Senior Project Manager, and Gordon Arent, Senior Manager Licensing, an additional error in the analysis that supports the application of OMA 732 in the WBN two-unit Fire Protection Report (FPR) was recently identified. As a result, the July 26, 2012, schedule for the submittal of an update to the FPR is being adjusted to September 13, 2012. The analysis error has been captured in TVA's Corrective Action Program as Service Request 580935.

I U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 July 19, 2012 There are no new regulatory commitments made 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 19thday of July, 2012.

Respectfully, Raymond A. Hruby, Jr.
