ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT REGARDING CONTROL ROD SCRAM TIME TESTING FREQUENCY PER TSTF-460, REVISION 0 (TAC NO. MF5827)

Attachments: 80 FR 32629-32630 - June 9, 2015 - Browns Ferry.pdf Importance: High

Dear Mr. Walter,

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is about to issue an amendment to the Browns Ferry Unit 1 license. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.91(b), I am notifying you of the proposed issuance of this amendment.

This amendment is in response to Tennessee Valley Authoritys application dated March 9, 2015, as supplemented by letter dated August 19, 2015. The amendment revises Technical Specification (TS) 3.1.4, Control Rod Scram Times, based on Technical Specification Task Force Change Traveler-460, Revision 0, Control Rod Scram Time Testing Frequency, revising the frequency of Surveillance Requirement 3.1.4.2 regarding control rod scram time testing from 120 days cumulative operation in MODE 1 to 200 days cumulative operation in MODE 1. Implementation of this amendment will also include incorporation of the revised acceptance criterion value of 7.5 percent for slow control rods into the TS Bases.

Attached is the associated proposed no significant hazards consideration for the amendment request that was published in the Federal Register on June 9, 2015 (80 FR 32629).

Please let us know if you have any comments on behalf of the State of Alabama for the above amendments.

Regards, Farideh Farideh E. Saba, P.E.
