  • CH ATTANOOGA. TENNESSEE 374o1 400 Chestnut Street Tower II December 27, 1982 Mr. Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555

Dear Mr. Denton:

In the Matter of ) Docket Nos. 50-327 Tennessee Valley Authority ) 50-328 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, TVA hereby submits a request for an amendment to facility operating licenses DPR-77 and DPR-79 for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant units 1 and 2 to authorize TVA to operate a volume reduction system (VR) to process low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). This equipment would be used to process LLRW by incineration and calcination. The residue (ash and/or salt) will be solidified for storage onsite or disposal offsite. Enclosed is a description of the VR and an analysis of the impacts of its construction and operation. We believe this approach is consistent with the NRC " Policy Statement on Low-Level Waste Volume Reduction" as published in the October 16, 1981 Federal Register notice FR 51101.

In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 170.22, we have determined this proposed amendment to be Class III. This classification is based on the fact that the proposed amendment involves a single safety issue which does not involve a significant hazard. The remittance of $4,000 is being wired to the NRC, Attention: Licensing Fee Management Branch.

We request that you review our request for a license amendment as expeaitiously as possible, and we will be glad to answer any questions you have regarding this matter. It is our understanding that you will notice our license amendment request in the Federal Register as soon as possible.

Very truly yours, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (O[D' FLU,_n L. M. Mills, Manager Nuclear Licensing Swor. 30 nd subs ibed bpfore me
