SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 COMPLETION OF LICENSING ACTION FOR NRC BULLETIN96-02, "MOVEMENTOF HEAVY LOADS OVER SPENT FUEL IN THE REACTOR CORE OR OVER SAFETY-RELATED EQUIPMENT" (TAC NOS. M95777, M95778, AND 95779)
Dear Mr. Scalice:
On April 11, 1996, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued the subject NRC Bulletin (NRCB) to all holders of operating licenses.
The NRC issued NRCB 96-02 for three principal reasons:
1.
Alert addressees to the importance of complying with existing regulatory guidelines associated with the control and handling of heavy loads at nuclear power plants, 2.
Request that all addressees review their plans and capabilities for handling heavy loads in accordance with existing regulatory guidelines and within their licensing basis as previously analyzed in the final safety analysis report, and 3.
Require addressees to report to the NRC whether and to what extent they have complied with the actions requested in this bulletin.
Also the bulletin requested that the Tennessee Valley Authority determine whether current activities were within the licensing basis and to submit a license amendment request as necessary.
In response to NRCB 96-02, you provided a letter dated May 13, 1996, for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. This submittal provided both the information requested and the responses required by NRCB 96-02.
NRC staff review of the responses to NRCB 96-02 finds that, overall, the responses are acceptable; therefore, TAC Nos. M95777, M95778, and M95779 are dosed.
Mr. J. A. Scalice The NRC willcontinue to review the issue of heav'y loads through an ongoing Task Action Plan for heavy loads.
Any additional information required for the completion of the Task Action Plan willbe obtained on a plant-specific basis.
Sincerely, Albert W. De azio, Sr. Project nager Project Directorate II-3 Division of Reactor Projects - I/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-260, and 50-296 Serial No. BFN-98-017
