Watts Bar 50.69 Final Second Round Requests for Additional Iinformation (L-2018-LLA-0493).pdf Mr. Wells:

By letter dated November 29, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML18334A363), as supplemented by letters dated July 15 and July 29, 2019 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML19196A362 and ML19210D430, respectively), Tennessee Valley Authority (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendments would modify the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Facility Operating Licenses to implement the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.69, Risk-Informed Categorization and Treatment of Structures, Systems and Components for Nuclear Power Reactors.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Probabilistic Risk Assessment Licensing Branch A and Risk-Informed Licensing Initiatives Team staff are reviewing the application, as supplemented, and have identified areas where additional information is necessary for the staff to complete its review. The NRC staffs request for additional information is provided in the attached. As discussed with you in a call on September 12, 2019, the NRC staff requests your response to the RAI within 45 days of the date of this email.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-6459 or michael.wentzel@nrc.gov.
