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 documents are the BFN Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) named below.
EPIP Revision Title Effective Date EPIP-6 0048 Activation and Operation of the Technical Support Center (TSC) 03/26/2024 EPIP-7 0042 Activation and Operation of the Operations Support Center (OSC) 03/26/2024 EPIP-14 0025 Radiological Control Procedures 03/26/2024 Description of Changes and Summary of Analysis EPIP-6 Revision 48 adds instruction that allows the TSC Site Emergency Director (SED) or Operations Manager to temporarily fill an ERO position to support the response to a radiological emergency. EPIP-7 Revision 42 adds instruction that allows the OSC Manager to temporarily fill an ERO position to support the response to a radiological emergency. Planning Standards 10 CFR
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 April 25, 2024 50.47(b)(1) - Assignment of Responsibility (Organization Control), and 50.47(b)(15) - Emergency Responder Training, were impacted by these changes.
EPIP-14 Revision 25 updates the guidance for issuing Potassium Iodide (KI) in subsection 3.6, and deletes Attachment 2, Patient Package Insert. This change includes removing all references to the Patient Package Insert attachment. Planning Standard 50.47(b)(10) - Protective Response was impacted by this change.
These changes were determined to be changes to the REP that were not editorial or typographical in nature. These changes were determined to not conform to activities that had prior NRC approval. 10 CFR 50.47(b) Planning Standards were impacted by these changes; therefore, 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 NRC approval.
There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter. If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact E. J. Cole at (256) 729-4742.
