DeGr Mr. Denton:
In the Matter of the
)
Docket Nos. 50-327 Tennessee Valley Authority
)
50-328 Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has reviewed our operating licenses (OL) for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant units 1 and 2 (DPR-77 and DPR-79) to ensure that the applicable portion of special nuclear material licenses SBM-1716 and SBN-1863 were incorporated since the SNM licenses were terminated upon receipt of the OL's.
It appears that our OL's do not contain specific exemptions to the requirement for a criticality monitoring system for the fuel storage area as defined in 10 CFR 70.24.
An exemption to the requirements of 10 CFR 70.24 had been included in the SBN licenses.
We recognize that this requirement is not applicable for fuel storage underwater but we are concerned about its applicability to the storage of unirradiated fuel in the new fuel storage vaults.
We request you review the requirement of 10 CFR 70.24 and advise us of its applicability to our OL.
If you have questions related to this matter, please get in touch with P. J. Hannons of my staff at FTS 857-2584.
Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AU'IHORITY h
