Tennessee Valley Authority, 1101 Market Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402 November 13, 2017 ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-90 and NPF-96 NRC Docket Nos. 50-390 and 50-391 10 CFR 50.54(q) 10 CFR 72.44(f)
SUBJECT:
TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY - WATTS BAR NUCLEAR PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURE REVISION In accordance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(q) and 10 CFR 72.44(f), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is submitting a description of changes to the Watts Bar Radiological Emergency Plan (REP). The affected documents are the Watts Bar Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) named below.
EPIP 12 13 Revision Title 0041 Emergency Equipment and Supplies 0024 Initial Dose Assessment for Radiological Emergencies Effective Date 11/01/2017 10/12/2017
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 November 13, 2017 Description of Changes and Summary of Analysis EPI P-12 was revised to add emergency preparedness as the responsible organization for hospital cabinet inventories; change emergency dosimetry inventory to semi-annual frequency; remove 9 volt batteries from hospital inventory; add van designator to the inventory review signoff for Emergency Van #1, and add an inventory review signoff for Emergency Van #4. Additionally, several editorial changes were made to correct inconsistent formatting, correct grammar, and align the procedure to new utility-specific terminology.
EPIP-13 was revised to replace the Attachment C's Watts Bar Noble Gas Release Rates table with a direction to reference CECC EPIP-8, Attachment 13, which contains the current graph for use in this calculation. Similarly, Attachment L's Multi-Unit Release Dose Assessment Flowchart was replaced with direction to reference CECC EPIP-8, Attachment 15, which contains the current flowchart for use.
These changes were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3). It was determined that the changes did not reduce the effectiveness of the Watts Bar emergency plan, and the Watts Bar emergency plan, as revised, continues to meet the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).
There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter. If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Thomas Detchemendy, Emergency Prepared Manager, at (423) 365-3232.
