NPF-90 and NPF-96 for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN), Units 1 and 2, respectively.
The proposed amendment would revise the WBN, Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS) to adopt Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler 266-A, Revision 3, "Eliminate the Remote Shutdown System Table of Instrumentation and Controls."

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and protection of public health and safety and the environment.
Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staff's ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review.
