Docket Nos.

50-259, 50-260 and 50-296 Dr. Hark 0. Medford, Vice President Technical Support Tennessee Valley Authority 3B Lookout Place 1101 Market Street Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402-2801

Dear Dr. Hedford:

February 4, 1994

SUBJECT:

REVISION OF DETAILED CONTROL ROOM DESIGN REVIEW PROGRAM TO DISCONTINUE COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF NON-SAFETY SIGNIFICANT HUMAN ENGINEERING DISCREPANCIES By letter dated December 15, 1993, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) informed the NRC that it was withdrawing a commitment associated with the detailed control room design review at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

Specifically, TVA is withdrawing its commitment to implement non-,safety significant human engineering discrepancies (HEDs) which have a 'large cost/benefit ratio.

Since these HEDs are by definition non-safety significant, the NRC staff accepts this changed commitment.

Please contact me at (301) 504-1470 if you have any questions regarding this issue.

Sincerely, Original signed by Joseph F. Williams, Project Manager Project Directorate II-4 Division of Reactor Projects I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation cc:
