SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion In response to a letter from TVA dated August 17, 2023 (NNP-23-003, ADAMS Accession No. ML23229A569), the Commission on November 21, 2023 granted an exemption from certain requirements of paragraph 2.101(a)(5) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), which allowed TVA to submit a construction permit application in two parts with the information required under 10 CFR 50.34(a)(1) included in the second part of the application (ADAMS Accession No. ML23045A008).

Tennessee Valley Authority filed with the NRC, pursuant to 10 CFR part 50,

3 Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, both parts of the application for a construction permit to construct a GEH BWRX-300 reactor at the Clinch River Nuclear Site in Roane County, Tennessee, on April 28, 2025 (NNP-25-003, ADAMS Accession No. ML25118A209), and May 20, 2025, (NPP-25-004, ADAMS Package Accession No. ML25140A062), respectively. These notices are being provided in accordance with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.43(a)(3).

The NRC staff is currently undertaking its acceptance review of both parts of the application. If both parts of the application are accepted for docketing, a subsequent Federal Register notice will be issued that addresses the acceptability of the construction permit application for docketing and provisions for participation of the public in the permitting process.

Dated: June 5, 2025.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
