400 Chestnut Street Tower II July 17, 1980 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attention:
Mr. A. Schwencer, Chief Light Water Reactors Branch No. 2 Division of Licensing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Schwencer:
In the Matter of
)
Docket No. 50-327 Tennessee Valley Authority
)
License No. DPR-77 for fuel loading and low-power testing of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant unit i lists, as a condition for fuel loading and zero-power testing, that TVA shall have additional contractor support to provide operational experience on each shift during the low-power test program.
We expect to complete the low-power test program before August 1, 1980.
Our contract with Nuclear Services Corporation for experienced PWR startup engineers expires on August 15.
We believe that TVA operators will have gained a sufficient level of operating experience through conduct of zero-power startup tests and the special low-power test program to continue the startup test program at higher power levels without additional backup support. Therefore, with your concurrence, we do not intend to renew the contract for this additional contractor support.
Furthermore, it is our intention to terminate the existing contract upon completion of the special low-power test program.
Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY j
L. M. Mills, Manager Nuclear Regulation and Safety
