UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 5Q-296 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE The U. S. Nuclear Rhgulatory Conmission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No.

DPR-68 issued to the Tennessee Valley Authority (the l.icensee),
which revised'echnical Specifications for operation of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 3, located in Limestone County, Alabama.
The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
This amendment changes the Technical Specifications to:

23 to Operating License No.
DPR-68 dated May ll, 1979),
(3) reflect rerouting of the reactor water cleanup system piping to reduce thermal cycling on the feedwater nozzles (and thus provide increased margin against the initiation and propagation of cracks in these nozzles),
and (4) reflect replacement of two of the ll safety-relief valves with valves of an improved design that will provide a slightly increased simmer margin (i.e., the two replacement valves will be set to relieve at 1150 psig rather than 1125 psig).
I The application for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,"as amended (the Act), and
75+)1 the Commission's rules and regulations.
