Acceptance for Review - Browns Ferry Units 1, 2 and 3 - NFPA 805 Post LAR -

Acceptance Review (EPID L-2018-LLA-0121)

Importance: High

Gordon, By letter dated May 3, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18124A053), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 (BFN). The proposed amendment would revise the BFN renewed facility operating licenses to provide a correction to previously submitted information in relation to their approved fire protection program under 10 CFR 50.48(c), National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 805. Specifically, TVA is requesting to modify BFN NFPA 805 LAR Attachment A, Table B-1, Transition of Fundamental Fire Protection Program & Design Elements, Item 3.3.4, Insulation Materials, from Complies to Complies with Previous Approval.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs acceptance review of this amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with 10 CFR 50.90, an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required. This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

Based on the information provided in your submittal, the NRC staff has estimated that this licensing request will take approximately 200 hours8.333 days <br />1.19 weeks <br />0.274 months <br /> to complete. The NRC staff expects to complete this review by May 3, 2019, as requested in the May 3, 2018, letter. If there are emergent complexities or challenges in our review that would cause changes to the initial forecasted completion date or significant changes in the forecasted hours, the reasons for the changes, along with the new estimates, will be communicated during the routine interactions with the assigned project manager.

These estimates are based on the NRC staffs initial review of the application and they could change, due to several factors including requests for additional information, unanticipated addition of scope to the review, and review by NRC advisory committees or hearing-related activities.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-1447.

Thanks, Farideh Farideh E. Saba, P.E.
