SUBJECT: PUBLIC MEETING SUMMARY - REGULATORY CONFERENCE FOR BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, DOCKET NO. 50-260

Dear Mr. Shea:

This refers to the meeting conducted on July 24, 2013, in Atlanta, GA. The purpose of this meeting, was to allow representatives of Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the licensee for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, to meet with U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) personnel to discuss the safety significance of one preliminary Greater Than Green finding associated with one Apparent Violation that was documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000260/2013012 (ML13162A780). This finding involved the failure to properly implement procedure 2-OI-99, Reactor Protection System. Specifically, during restoration of 2B Reactor Protection System (RPS) 480 volt power, the RPS motor generator set tie to battery board 2 breaker on the 2A RPS bus motor generator set was incorrectly opened, causing a Unit 2 reactor scram and main steam isolation valves (MSIV) closure. The licensee discussed the immediate corrective actions they implemented and the actions that will be taken based on the licensee's root cause analysis.

A list of attendees and a copy of the presentation handouts are enclosed.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Should you have any questions concerning this meeting, please contact me at (404) 997-4521.
