Expedient NRC review and issuance of TVA's proposed TS change and exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix J are requested in order to support the Unit 2 Cycle 4 refueling outage scheduling effort..The Unit 2~ Cycle.4 refueling outage is presently scheduled to begin in September 1990, The proposed TS change.is identified in Enclosure 1.
