Subject:

Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure Revision

Pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(q)(5), and 10 CFR 72.44(f),

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is submitting a description of changes to the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Radiological Emergency Plan (REP). The affected document is the WBN Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) listed below:

EPIP Revision Title Effective Date

5 61 General Emergency 04/28/2023

Description of Changes

EPIP-5 Revision 61 updated the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) diagram,, to reflect the removal of staged evacuation, which aligns with concurrent changes made in the REP due to an update of Evacuation Time Estimates (ETEs). As part of this change Attachments 1 (General Emergency Initial Notification Form) and 10 (Upgrade - Protective Action Recommendation) were updated to change Recommendation 3 from Shelter 5 miles downwind to Evacuate 5 miles downwind and to remove Recommendation 6, which is no longer applicable.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission WBL-23-025 Page 2 May 11, 2023

The above change was evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3) and 10 CFR 72.44(f). TVA determined that the changes did not reduce the effectiveness of the WBN REP. The WBN REP, as revised, continues to meet the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).

There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter. Please direct all questions concerning this matter to Michael Wh ite, Emergency Preparedness Manager, at mrwhite@tva.gov.
