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. March 28, 2024

The types of documents the team will be reviewing during conduct of the inspection are listed

below. Please contact Mr. Jones at (404) 997-4837 prior to preparing copies and sending the

and attached to an appropriate affidavit for withholding in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection

requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, under control number

3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,

a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting

document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

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
