.X g TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY CH ATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE 37401 400 Chestnut Street Tower II August 6, 1979 TVA BFNP TS 128 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclect Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission i Washington, DC 20555 Dest Mr. Denton:

In the Matter of the ) Docket Nos. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority )50-26G 50-290 In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50.59, we are enclosing 40 copies of a requested amendment to licenses DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 to change the technical specifications of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant unita 1, 2, and 3 (Enclosure 1). These changes would allow a partial tensioning of the reactor pressure vessel head bolts at 70*F and would ,

allow nuclear heat to be utilized above 100'F, decreasing pressure vessel and coolant heatup time. Justification for these proposed changes is k included (Enclosure 2). These prcposed specifications will shorten the time required for pressure vessel boltup and primary coolant system heatup after refueling. We would appreciate approval of these proposed changes "

by November 1, 1979, to facilitate the startup of Browns Ferry unit 3, now sch3duled for the middle of November 1979. 1 In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 170.22, we have determined these proposed amendments to be Class III for unit 1 and Class I J for units 2 and 3. These classifications are based on the facts that j

the proposed amendment for unit 1 involves a single safety issue which #

does not involve a significant hazcrd consideration and the proposed amend- 'i ments for units 2 and 3 are c'aplicates of the unit 1 proposed amendment.

The remittance for $4800 ($4000 for unit 1 and $800 for unita 2 and 3) is being wired to the NEC, Attention: Licensing Fee Management Branch. L Very truly yours,

}
