March 15, 2024 James Barstow Vice President, Nuclear Regulatory Affairs and Support Services Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market Street, LP 4A-C Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801

SUBJECT:

BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 - SUBSEQUENT LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION ONLINE REFERENCE PORTAL

Dear James Barstow:

By letter dated January 19, 2024 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Package Accession No. ML24019A009), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted an application for subsequent license renewal of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

The NRC staff continues to seek approaches to improve efficiency and support an effective review. One method to increase efficiency of the NRC staffs review of the subsequent license renewal application (SLRA) is the use of an online reference portal that will allow the NRC staff and its contractors limited, read-only access to the documents and other reference materials cited in and in support of the SLRA. In cases where the NRC staff identifies documents as necessary to support its determinations in the safety evaluation report or environmental impact statement, the NRC staff will request that those documents be submitted on the docket.

The use of the online reference portal will be in accordance with the following restrictions:

The online reference portal will be password-protected, and passwords will be distributed only to NRC staff members and contractors directly involved in the BFN SLRA review on a need-to-know basis.

The online reference portal will not support any printing, saving, or downloading functions.

The NRC staff members and contractors given password access to the online reference portal will be informed of the conditions related to the use of the online reference portal by NRC project managers.

The conditions associated with the online reference portal will be maintained throughout its use during the BFN SLRA review process.

Documents posted to the online reference portal will be limited to basis and other reference material cited in the SLRA, unless otherwise agreed upon by TVA and NRC management.

J. Barstow The NRC staff requests that the portal be fully populated with plant documents and well organized to facilitate efficient search capability and ease of use, starting from the date of acceptance of the application to issuance of both the safety review audit report and the environmental review audit report, for all NRC staff members and contractors directly involved in the BFN SLRA review.

If you have any questions on this matter, please contact Jessica Hammock, Project Manager, for the safety review of the BFN SLRA at Jessica.Hammock@nrc.gov, or Jessica Umana, Project Manager, for the environmental review at Jessica.Umana@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
