.j 50-296 LICENSEE:

Tennessee Valley Authority FACILITIES:

Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 3

SUBJECT:

MAY 22, 1991 MEETING WITH TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY TO PLAN LICENSING ACTIONS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT RESTART OF BROWNS FERRY UNITS 1 AND 3 On May 22, 1991, a meeting was held between representatives of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the NRC staf f in Peckvilla, MD.

This meeting was held to discuss licensing actions required to support restart of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Units 1 and 3.

A list of attendees and copies of handouts are attached.

The discussion focused on the letter from TVA to NR' dated January 9,1991, which described TVA's plans for restart of BFN_1 and 3.

in the past, the NRC staff has closely reviewed both criteria and methodology in TVA's corrective action programs used to restore BFN-2 to service.

in general., TVA plans to use the same criteria and methods to refurbish BFN-1 and 3.

TVA had proposed that f4RC review was not required for changes to methodology if the BFN-2 criteria are preserved. These programs are listed in Enclosure 3 of the January 9,1991 letter.

The NRC staff recognizes improvements in TVA's engineering capability, but plans to review the Enclosure 3 program changes at the same level of detail as the original review for BFN_2.

Original signed by Joseph F. Williams, Project Manager Project Directorate 11-4 Division of Reactor Projects - 1/II Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
