1. Letter from TVA to NRC, "Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Unit 1 - Application to Modify Technical Specification 3.4.9, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits" (BFN TS-484)," dated December 18, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13358A067) 2.

By letter dated December 18, 2013 (Reference 1), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) to revise the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Unit 1, Technical Specifications (TS) for Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.4.9, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits." By electronic mail dated April 23, 2014 (Reference 2), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) transmitted a request for additional information (RAI) to support the review of the LAR.

The original due date for the response of May 30, 2014 was extended to June 13, 2014 by a teleconference with Andy Hon (NRC) on May 28, 2014. The Enclosure to this letter provides TVA's response to the NRC RAI. Consistent with the standards set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50.92(c), TVA has determined that the additional information, as provided in this letter, does not affect the no significant hazards consideration associated with the proposed application previously provided in Reference 1.
