In Reference 1, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted a dual-unit revision to the Radiological Emergency Plan (REP) for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Units 1 and 2. This revision consisted of Revision 104X for the generic part of the TVA REP (NP-REP) and Revision 104X of Appendix C, the Watts Bar-specific part of the REP .

The "X" revision indicates that it shows the currently approved REP information, and that information that will be present when WBN Unit 2 receives a license.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 April 1, 2015 To address an existing issue on WBN Unit 1, the condenser vacuum exhaust radiation monitors were replaced on Unit 1. As a result of this design change to the plant, a change to Appendix C of the REP (Revision 105) was required for WBN (Reference 2) .

In addition , the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently approved a license amendment for WBN related to hydrology, which will require a change to the REP (future Revision 106). To be consistent in our submittals to the NRC in support of licensing Watts Bar Unit 2, a copy of Revision 106X to Appendix C of the REP is submitted for NRC review (Enclosure 1) that shows changes that will occur in the near future. A summary of changes to Appendix C, Revision 106X is provided in Enclosure 2.

There are no regulatory commitments associated with this submittal. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Gordon Arent at (423) 365-2004.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 1st day of April 2015.
