Subject:

Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant - Site Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure Revision In accordance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(q); 10 CFR 50, Appendix E; and 10 CFR 72.44(f), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is submitting a description of changes to the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Radiological Emergency Plan (REP). The affected document is the BFN Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) named below.

EPIP Revision Title Effective Date EPIP-12 0025 Emergency Equipment and Supplies 01/04/2022 Description of Changes and Summary of Analysis

1. EPIP-12 Revision 25 changes several inventory tables to remove or replace items in the applicable tables which are no longer needed. Planning Standard 50.47(b)(8) - Emergency Facility and Equipment was impacted by this change.

2. EPIP-12 Revision 25 also removes and pager numbers from Call-Out List table in Attachment 10. The use of pagers in the ERO was discontinued in July 2021. Planning Standards 50.47(b)(2) - Onsite Emergency Organization, 50.47(b)(5) - Notification Methods and Procedures, and 50.47(b)(6) - Emergency Communications were impacted by this change.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 January 31, 2022 These changes were determined to be changes to the REP that were not editorial or typographical in nature. These changes were also determined to not conform to activities that had prior approval. Because 10 CFR 50.47(b) Planning Standards were impacted by these changes, it was concluded that the changes could not be implemented without performing a 50.54(q) reduction in effectiveness evaluation. Upon completion of the Effectiveness Evaluation Form for these changes, it was concluded that the changes continue to comply with the requirements of 50.47(b) and 50 Appendix E, and that the changes do not constitute a reduction in effectiveness. Therefore, these changes were allowed to be implemented without prior approval.

There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter. If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact B. F. Tidwell at (256) 729-3666.
