UNIT 1 REVISION 1 OF THE CYCLE 15 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR) and UNIT 2 REVISION I OF THE CYCLE 2 CORE OPERATING LTMTTS REPORT (COLR)

Pursuant to Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Technical Specifications (Tech Spec) Section 5.9.5.d, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has enclosed Revision 1 of the Unit 1 Cycle 15 COLR and Revision 1 of the Unit 2 Cycle 2 COLR. This revision added shutdown margin limits for Tech Spec 3.1.5, 3.1.6, and 3.1.7 per a NRC Commitment. The analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits were previously reviewed and approved by the NRC.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter or the enclosure. Should you have questions regarding this submittal, please contact Kim Hulvey at (423) 365-7720.
