UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 January 29, 2015 Mr. Joe W. Shea Vice President, Nuclear Licensing Tennessee Valley Authority P.O. Box 2000 Soddy-Daisy, TN 37384

SUBJECT:

SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT RELATED TO THE SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NOS.

MF0481 AND MF0482)

Dear Mr. Shea:

By letter dated January 7, 2013, Tennessee Valley Authority submitted an application pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 54 Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants, to renew the operating license DPR-77 and DPR-79 for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (SQN), for review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff. The staff determined that the license renewal application (LRA) was complete and acceptable for docketing on February 26, 2013.

Since that time, the staff has reviewed the SQN LRA, performed site audits and inspections, issued requests for additional information (RAIs), reviewed the applicants responses to the staffs RAIs, developed a safety evaluation report (SER) with open items (ML14266A033) dated September 29, 2014, and subsequently met with the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) Subcommittee on November 5, 2014. The staff has closed all open items, and has developed the enclosed Final SER (ML15021A356) to document its findings associated with the safety review of the LRA and supporting documentation for SQN.

This Final SER is scheduled to be discussed with the ACRS Full Committee on February 5, 2015. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the license renewal project manager, Mr. Emmanuel Sayoc, by telephone at 301-415-4084 or by e-mail at emmanuel.sayoc@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Christopher G. Miller, Director Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328
