ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 NRC Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-260, and 50-296
Subject:
Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant - Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Amendment 26 Pursuant to the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
Part 50.71, "Maintenance of Records, Making of Reports," paragraph (e)(4), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is submitting Amendment 26 of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BEN).
Amendment 26 of the BEN UFSAR is a 24-month update that reflects editorial corrections, changes, and analyses pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes Tests, and Experiments," to the facility, which were in effect through July 1, 2015. All UFSAR pages issued as a result of this update are clearly delineated with a "BFN-26" in the page header and a revision bar is shown in the right margin next to the specific change.
The summaries of evaluations of these changes made under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59, will be provided to the NRC in separate correspondence by November 30, 2015.
The Enclosure to this letter contains one (1) Compact Disk - Recordable (CD-R) of the BEN UFSAR, Amendment 26. TVA has also included a listing of the UFSAR files and their size in the enclosure. Please note that some files do not have embedded fonts; however, these files are from a scanned source and are thus consistent with Section 2.23 of the "Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC, Revision 6.1."
TVA has determined that some of the informration contained on the CD-R is considered to be sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information. As such, the enclosed CD-R is labeled "Tennessee Valley Authority, Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Updated Final Safety Analysis,*.
Report, Amendment 26, Non-Public Version." This CD'R submittal of the entire BEN UFSAR {, LL supersedes all previously submitted hard copies and CD-R copies of the document.
Security-Related Information Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.
This letter is decontrolled when separated from the enclosure.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 October 5, 2015 Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 54.37, "Additional Records and Recordkeeping Requirements," paragraph (b), TVA has determined that there are no newly identified systems, structures, and components that would have been subject to an aging management review or evaluation of time-limited aging analyses.
I certify that I am duly authorized by TVA, and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the information contained herein accurately presents changes made since the previous submittal, necessary to reflect information and analyses submitted to the Commission or prepared pursuant to Commission requirements.
There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this letter. If you have any questions, please contact Jamie L. Paul, Nuclear Site Licensing Manager, at (256) 729-2636.
