and 50-296 Mr. Hugh G. Parris Manager of Power Tennessee Valley Authority 500A Chestnut Street, Tower II Chattanooga, Tennessee 37401
Dear Mr. Parris:
We have received your application of July 31, 1980, as amended by your letter of November 17, 1980 for amendments to the licenses for Browns Ferry Unit Nos.1, 2, and 3 to authorize onsite low-level waste storage at Browns Ferry for a period of five years. We note in Enclosure 3 to your submittal that construction work co the storage facility is in progress. Your letter of November 1/,1980, requested that we publish in the Federal Register a notice concerning your application. Enclosed is a copy of the " Notice of Consideration of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses" for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos.1, 2, and 3, which we have sent to the Office of the Federal Register regarding your applica-tion of July 31, 1980 as amended by your letter of November 17, 1980.
Your application entails amendment of the Part 30 portion of your reactor license authorizing possession of byproduct waste material in accordance with the license and supporting application.
In this connection, the NRC Staff will have to assess the significance of potential environmental impact: to determine whether the provisions of 10 CFR 530.32(f) are or should be applicable to your program.
In order to minimize any delay in such determination, I anticipate that our staff will need to meet with your staff to obtain supporting information, in the very near future. We will contact Mr. Larry Mills of your staff to establish a convenient meeting schedule.
In the meantime, however, TVA continues construction at its own risk.
Sincerely, l
l Thomas Ippolito, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #2 Division of Licensing
