Acceptance Review for Browns Ferry Units 1, 2, and 3, Regarding LAR for the Adoption of TSTF-535, Revision 0, "Revise Shutdown Margin Definition to Address Advanced Fuel Designs" (TS-502) (MF5823, MF5824, and MF5825)

Gordon, In accordance with LIC-109, Acceptance Review Procedures, Revision 1, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has completed the acceptance review of the License Amendment Request submitted by letter dated March 9, 2015 (ML15068A407), from TVA for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. The proposed changes would modify the TS definition of "Shutdown Margin" (SDM) to require calculation of the SDM at a reactor moderator temperature of 68°F or a higher temperature that represents the most reactive state throughout the operating cycle.

A determination has been made by the NRC staff that the amendment request reasonably appears to contain sufficient technical information, both in scope and depth, for the NRC staff to complete the detailed technical review and render, in an appropriate time frame for the associated action, an independent assessment of the proposed action with regard to applicable regulatory requirements and the protection of public health, safety, and security.

If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

Thanks, Farideh Farideh E. Saba, P.E.
