Dear Mr. Shea:

This refers to the meeting conducted on July 25, 2012, in Atlanta, GA. The purpose of this meeting, was to allow representatives of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the licensee for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, to meet with U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) personnel to discuss one preliminary White finding associated with one Apparent Violation that was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000259/2012007, 05000260/2012007, and 05000296/2012007 (ML12150A219). The finding involved the failure to adequately accomplish the requirements contained in procedure NPG-SPP-09.3 Plant Modifications and Engineering Change Control which required that an evaluation of training needs be completed to support implementation of Design Change Notice (DCN) 69957.

The licensee discussed the immediate corrective actions they implemented and the actions that will be taken based on the licensees root cause analysis.
