U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 August 28, 2013 On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order (Reference 1) to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs TVA to install reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation (SFPLI). Specific requirements are outlined in of Reference 1.
Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-02, Revision 1 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2.
Reference 4 provided the TVA initial status report regarding SFPLI strategies. Reference 5 provided the TVA Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 overall integrated plan.
Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports.
The purpose of this letter is to provide the first six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference 1. The enclosed report provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the overall integrated plan, including any changes to the compliance method or schedule.
The enclosure describes the plans that TVA will use to meet the regulatory requirements outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1, but does not identify any additional actions to be taken by TVA.
Therefore, this letter contains no regulatory commitments.
If you have any question regarding this submittal, please contact Kevin Casey at (423) 751-8523).
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 28th day of August 2013.

ENCLOSURE 1
Introduction Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) developed an Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1 in Section 8 of this Enclosure), documenting the requirements to install reliable spent fuel pool level instrumentation (SFP LI), in response to Reference 2. This attachment provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method or schedule.
2 Milestone Accomplishments The following milestone(s) have been completed since the development of the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1), and are current as of July 30, 2013.
10% Design Review is complete.
Contract for Level channels with battery backup, excluding remote display, has been awarded.
3 Milestone Schedule Status The following updates the milestone schedule to support the Overall Integrated Plan. This section provides the activity status of each item, and the expected completion date noting any change. The dates are planning dates subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.
The milestone target completion dates do not impact the order implementation date.

The original target completion date for implementation for Unit 1 corresponded to the completion of the second refueling outage following submittal of the February 28, 2013, integrated plan. For Unit 2, the original target completion date was prior to November 5, 2015, or Unit 2 initial startup, whichever occurred first. Implementation of the SFPLI is currently scheduled to be performed on-line for Unit 1 and prior to Unit 2 initial startup as indicated by the revised target completion dates.

4 Changes to Compliance Method The primary and backup instrument channel battery life was anticipated to exceed 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> in the February 2013 Integrated Plan. A preliminary battery life calculation has been completed.
TVA is updating the anticipated battery life to 84 hours9.722222e-4 days <br />0.0233 hours <br />1.388889e-4 weeks <br />3.1962e-5 months <br /> to provide margin for issues that may arise during the design process.
There are no other changes to the compliance method as documented in the Overall Integrated Plan (Reference 1).
