SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF TARGET
SET INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (NRC INSPECTION
REPORT 05000259/2024403 AND 05000260/2024403 AND 05000296/2024403
Dear James Barstow:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region II (RII) staff will conduct an inspection of the Target Sets specified by the conditions of
your operating license at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant Units 1, 2 and 3 on April 29 -
May 1. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Larry J. Jones Jr., Senior Reactor Inspector, of
the NRC RII office. The team will be composed of personnel from the NRC RII office. The
inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71130.14, Review of
Power Reactor Target Sets, and effective as of March 9, 2023.
On March 27, 2024, during communications between Mrs. Tanya Townsend of your staff, and
Mr. Larry J Jones, NRC RII, our respective staff confirmed arrangements for a three-day onsite
inspection. The schedule is as follows:
Onsite inspection: April 29 - May 1, 2024
Mr. Jones will be onsite for three days during the week and will arrive on Monday April 29, 2024.
The first day will be travel and preparation time to review SGI material. He will conduct an
entrance meeting on Tuesday. He will exit Wednesday afternoon unless there is an emergent
issue which would either delay the exit or be cause for it to take place over the phone. Due to
the security related nature of the inspection, we request a conference room that is SGI
accessible.
To complete the inspection in the time allotted, Mr. Jones needs to review your target sets
program references and other pertinent documents prior to the inspection. Please provide the
documents below via CERTREC to Mr. Jones by April 22, 2024.
Please indicate how you would like our staff to dispose of any NON-SGI documents after we
have completed our review. Mr. Jones plans to only review SGI material onsite in your secure
spaces.

a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting
document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

enclosures will not be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system
