Division of Fuel Cycle & Material Safety
SUBJECT:
VISIT TO TVA BROWNS FERRY On December 16, 1980, I visited the TVA Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFNP) to observe the construction of low-level radwaste storage modules and to discuss the review of TVA's application for amendment of its reactor facility licenses to use the storage modules.
Preston Scott, the Project Construction Superintendent and Dave Montgomery, head of the Construction Services Branch, described the construction process and showed me through the four modules presently under way, the beam and cap pouring area, and the concrete test building.
I decided not to visit the nearby concrete batch plant. The modules are in various stages of construction, ranging from about 20% to 90% complete. None has beams and caps in place. The first four modules are now scheduled to be available for use by May 1981, with concrete work on ten more continuing for about another year beyond that.

Following the tour, I met with several TVA people and the NRC resident
' inspector in the Plant Manager's office. A list of attendees is attached.
We discussed a variety of technical and procedural topics, including many that were in SECY-80-511.
Probably the most important were those environ-mental impact topics of waste form, container selection and surveillance, and foreclosure of alternatives. As a result of these discussions. I l
believe the TVA attendees obtained a better perspective of NRC's approach to the licensing review we plan and some of the questions that need to be addressed.
At my request, some of the TVA people escorted me through the radwaste area, where packaging of waste is perfonned, and the spent fuel storage pools area l
located at the top of the reactor building. The location of the future volume reduction building was noted as being contiguous with the existing radwaste evaporator building.
